Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Slasher vs. Spectre Showdown
Destiny 2 players are gearing up for a spooky choice in the upcoming Festival of the Lost 2025 event. Bungie has unveiled two competing armor sets: Slashers and Spectres, each drawing inspiration from iconic horror figures. This year's event lets the community directly influence the available cosmetics by voting for their preferred style.
The Slashers set boasts designs reminiscent of classic horror villains: Jason Voorhees (Titan), Ghostface (Hunter), and a menacing Scarecrow (Warlock). Conversely, the Spectres set offers a different flavor of fright, featuring the Babadook (Titan), La Llorona (Hunter), and, perhaps most excitingly, an official Slenderman armor set for Warlocks.
This announcement, however, comes amidst a backdrop of ongoing concerns within the Destiny 2 community. Episode Revenant has been plagued by bugs and performance issues, leading to declining player numbers and frustrated fans. Many players expressed surprise at the focus on a Halloween event still months away, hoping for acknowledgement of the game's current challenges. While the new armor sets generate excitement, the broader context of the game's current state casts a shadow on the announcement. The inclusion of the previously unavailable Wizard armor from the 2024 Festival of the Lost event during Episode Heresy is a small consolation.
Summary
- Destiny 2 players can vote on new horror-themed armor sets for Festival of the Lost 2025.
- The choices are "Slashers" (Jason, Ghostface, Scarecrow) and "Spectres" (Babadook, La Llorona, Slenderman).
- The announcement comes amidst community frustration over bugs and declining player engagement in Episode Revenant.
