Destiny 2 Reveals Horror Themed Armor Sets for Festival of the Lost 2025

Summary

Destiny 2 players can vote on new Festival of the Lost armor sets inspired by horror icons like Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, Slenderman, and more. The 2025 event pits "Slashers" against "Spectres," with Titans sporting Babadook-inspired armor and Hunters donning La Llorona-themed gear. Despite the excitement surrounding these new cosmetic options, the Destiny 2 community expresses ongoing frustration with in-game bugs and a perceived decline in player numbers.

Bungie unveiled the upcoming Festival of the Lost armor sets, allowing Destiny 2 players to choose between "Slashers" and "Spectres" themed designs. This coincides with the final act of Episode Revenant, offering players a narrative conclusion alongside new loot like Slayer's Fang.

Episode Revenant has faced criticism due to numerous bugs and issues. A core mechanic involving tonic brewing proved problematic, with some tonics failing to provide intended benefits. While Bungie addressed many of these problems, player sentiment remains notably lower than usual.

In a surprising announcement, Bungie revealed the Festival of the Lost 2025 armor sets. The "Slashers vs. Spectres" theme features horror icons. Player votes will determine which set is released in October. Bungie also confirmed the return of the 2024 Festival of the Lost's Wizard armor during Episode Heresy.

The "Slashers" category includes Titan armor inspired by Jason Voorhees, Hunter armor reminiscent of Ghostface, and a Scarecrow-themed Warlock set. The "Spectres" category features Babadook-inspired Titan armor, La Llorona-themed Hunter armor, and a Slenderman Warlock set.

While many players appreciate Bungie's take on horror icons, the early reveal of an event ten months away surprised some. Many players hoped for acknowledgement of current issues within Destiny 2, including declining player engagement and an increase in bugs, further fueling frustrations with Episode Revenant.
