Destiny 2 Unveils Spooky Armor for 2025 Festival of the Lost

Summary

• Destiny 2 players can vote for new armor sets inspired by horror icons like Jason and Slenderman for Festival of the Lost.
• Festival of the Lost 2025 is letting fans vote for armor sets between Slashers vs Spectres, with Titans inspired by Babadook and Hunters by La Llorona.
• Despite the excitement for new armor sets, there is growing frustration in the Destiny 2 community over bugs and declining numbers.

Bungie is showcasing the new armor sets for Festival of the Lost, allowing Destiny 2 players to vote on whether they prefer Slashers or Spectres, featuring iconic horror figures like Jason and Slenderman. As we step into the new year, Destiny 2 has reached the final act of Episode Revenant, offering players a chance to experience the narrative conclusion and earn new loot such as Slayer's Fang.

However, Episode Revenant has not been without its challenges. Players have encountered numerous issues, including broken tonics that failed to provide the expected buffs. Despite Bungie's efforts to address these bugs and other gameplay problems, the community's overall sentiment towards the game's current state remains lower than usual.

In a surprising move, Bungie's first blog post of 2025 unveiled the upcoming armor sets for the Halloween event, Festival of the Lost. This year's theme, Slashers vs Spectres, draws inspiration from horror icons and urban legends. Fans can vote for their favorite designs, which will be available when the event kicks off in October. Additionally, Bungie confirmed that the Wizard armor set, which lost the vote in the 2024 Festival of the Lost, will be available during Episode Heresy.

Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost 2025 Inspired by Iconic Horror Villains

For the Slashers category, horror enthusiasts will recognize the Titan and Hunter armor sets, inspired by Jason from the Friday the 13th series and Ghostface from the Scream franchise, respectively. Warlocks will don a sinister Scarecrow set. In contrast, the Specters category features Titans as Babadook, Hunters as La Llorona, and Warlocks as the eerie Slenderman.

While many in the community appreciated Bungie's creative take on these horror icons, some were surprised by the focus on an event still 10 months away. The community has been seeking acknowledgment of the current state of Destiny 2, as player engagement and numbers continue to decline. The increase in bugs and other issues has only added to the frustrations experienced during Episode Revenant.
