Destiny 2’s Festival of the Lost 2025 vote is now on, featuring Slenderman Warlocks and Friday the 13th Titans

Though you may feel that Bungie has fumbled Episode: Revenant’s grand finale, Destiny 2 is thankfully more than just its latest narrative beat. 2025’s Festival of the Lost, for example, is bound to be a hoot, and now’s the time to vote on each Guardian Class’s cheeky new armor set.

After Festival of the Lost 2024’s wizard-themed armor sets, Bungie is now steering back towards the event’s horror roots. What better way to do so than with a suite of monster costumes from contemporary pop-horror media, then? Once again, players get to vote on each of the three Classes’ respective armor sets, and it is going to be a tough choice.

Vote for Slasher or Specter armor sets for Destiny 2’s FOTL 2025

The vote for 2025’s FOTL is now up, and you can participate either by entering the survey via this link or by checking in with Bungie’s promotional email newsletters, which should be coming our way sometime soon. The choices are all rather phenomenal, if I may say so myself:

• Titan Class: Jason Vorhees (Halloween) vs the Babadook (Babadook)
• Hunter Class: Ghostface (Scream) vs La Llorona (Mexican folklore)
• Warlock Class: Scarecrow vs Slenderman (internet creepypasta)

I don’t believe there’s any chance of the generic scarecrow costume beating out the literal Slenderman, but you never know! We’ll need to wait and see how the armor sets look and feel in-game, but the designs as they appear in the featured artwork seem like they’d work well when mixed and matched with other assorted sets. A huge boon, that, and not something that fashion-minded Guardians will take for granted.

The really good news is that the armor sets that lose the vote won’t be gone forever: “While you’ll still vote on which armor set is going to be released during Festival of the Lost, we will commit to producing the runner-up sets later. While we aren’t promising a specific timeline, they’ll typically be released before the next year’s Festival of the Lost event,” says Bungie in this week’s TWID.

As for all those wizard and witch-themed armor sets that lost in 2024, those are set and primed to release this year, in a surprise twist: “We know a lot of you loved the Wizards who didn’t make the cut for 2024. We felt the same way, so we’re making plans to release those armors during Heresy this year. We aren’t planning on producing all past runner-up armor, but we felt like the fashion could use a few more wizard hat options,” the post reads.

So, Destiny 2 fashionistas are going to have their hands full this year ’round no matter what. The Festival of the Lost 2025 will kick off sometime late in October, and if you’d like to get a sense of what to expect, look no further than this handy guide to last year’s FOTL. It’s a grind, for sure, but one that’s often very well worth it.
