Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Spooky Vote and Community Concerns
Destiny 2 players are gearing up for a chilling choice in the upcoming Festival of the Lost 2025 event. Bungie has unveiled two competing armor sets, "Slashers" and "Spectres," inspired by iconic horror figures, allowing players to vote for their preferred aesthetic. The options include Jason Voorhees-inspired Titan armor, a Ghostface-themed Hunter set, and a Scarecrow Warlock armor for the Slashers; while the Spectres offer a Babadook Titan, La Llorona Hunter, and a highly anticipated Slenderman Warlock set.
This exciting reveal, however, comes amidst growing community frustration. Episode Revenant, the current season, has been plagued by bugs and performance issues, leading to a decline in player engagement. While Bungie has addressed many of these problems, the lingering issues and the studio's focus on a Halloween event ten months out have sparked considerable debate. Many players feel the current state of the game requires more immediate attention than the announcement of new cosmetic items. The broken tonics mechanic, for instance, highlights a pattern of issues that have impacted player experience.
The upcoming Festival of the Lost vote offers a welcome distraction, but it also underscores the tension between community concerns about the game's overall health and Bungie's plans for future content. The inclusion of the previously unreleased Wizard armor from the 2024 Festival of the Lost event during Episode Heresy is a small concession, but it may not be enough to address the broader dissatisfaction. The community awaits a more substantial response to the ongoing issues impacting their enjoyment of Destiny 2.
