Bungie is excited to reveal the new armor sets for the Festival of the Lost, inviting Destiny 2 players to cast their votes for either Slashers or Spectres, featuring iconic figures like Jason and Slenderman. With the new year upon us, Destiny 2 has launched the last act of Episode Revenant, where fans can enjoy the narrative wrap-up and snag fresh loot such as Slayer’s Fang.
Many fans have found Episode Revenant to be quite a bumpy journey, facing a frustrating array of issues throughout this chapter of Destiny 2. A key feature this season involves brewing tonics for various buffs, but players quickly realized that some of these tonics were malfunctioning and not providing the expected advantages. Additionally, numerous bugs and gameplay glitches have been reported. Although Bungie has managed to address most of these problems over time, the overall sentiment among players appears to be significantly lower than usual regarding the game’s current condition.
In an unexpected twist in Bungie’s first blog post of 2025, the studio unveiled the new armor sets for the Halloween celebration, Festival of the Lost. This year’s theme, Slashers vs Spectres, draws inspiration from classic horror figures and urban legends. Fans will have the chance to vote for their preferred designs, which will be released when the event kicks off in October. Additionally, Bungie announced that the Wizard armor that didn’t win 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
In the Slashers category, horror enthusiasts will quickly identify the Titan and Hunter armor, which draw clear inspiration from Jason of the Friday the 13th series and Ghostface from Scream. Meanwhile, Warlocks can don a chilling Scarecrow outfit. In the Specters category, Titans transform into the Babadook, Hunters take on the role of La Llorona, and Warlocks finally have access to an official Slenderman armor set.
The community had mixed feelings about Bungie’s interpretation of horror icons, with many expressing surprise at the emphasis on an event that’s still 10 months away. Players were hoping for some recognition of Destiny 2’s current situation, especially as engagement and player counts have been declining. Additionally, the game has experienced an increase in bugs and other problems, adding to the frustrations surrounding Episode Revenant.
