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 has unveiled the exciting new armor sets for Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost event in 2025, allowing players to vote on their favorite designs from the Slashers or Spectres categories. These sets draw inspiration from iconic horror figures such as Jason, Slenderman, and more, adding a thrilling twist to the Halloween festivities. As we step into the new year, Destiny 2 is wrapping up the narrative of Episode Revenant, offering players the chance to experience its conclusion and earn new loot like the Slayer's Fang.

However, the journey through Episode Revenant has been far from smooth for many fans. The season introduced the concept of brewing tonics for buffs, but several tonics were found to be broken, not providing the expected benefits. Alongside these issues, numerous bugs and gameplay problems have plagued the game, dampening player sentiment despite Bungie's efforts to address them over time.

In a surprising move, Bungie's first blog post of 2025 highlighted the upcoming armor sets for Festival of the Lost. The event, themed around Slashers vs Spectres, will feature designs inspired by horror icons and urban legends. Players can vote on their preferred sets, which will be available during the event 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 armor inspired by Jason from the Friday the 13th series, the Hunter armor reminiscent of Ghostface from the Scream franchise, and the Warlock's eerie Scarecrow set. In contrast, the Specters category features Titans transformed into the Babadook, Hunters as La Llorona, and Warlocks donning an official Slenderman armor set.

While the community has shown enthusiasm for these horror-inspired designs, many were taken aback by the focus on an event still 10 months away. The current state of Destiny 2, marked by declining player engagement and an increase in bugs, has left many players seeking acknowledgment and solutions from Bungie. The ongoing issues have only heightened the frustrations experienced during Episode Revenant.
