What to Expect From Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost in 2024

Key Takeaways

  • Bungie hasn’t revealed specific activities or weapons for 2024’s Festival of the Lost in Destiny 2.
  • The event may repeat 2023’s gameplay loop with Legend Haunted Sectors and Eerie Engrams.
  • New Halloween-themed ornament sets for each class have been revealed for this year’s event.

As a seasoned Guardian with countless hours spent traversing the cosmos in Destiny 2, I can’t help but feel a tinge of anticipation as October approaches and the whispers of Festival of the Lost begin to echo through the Tower. While Bungie has been tight-lipped about this year’s event, my experience tells me that it’ll be a spook-tacular adventure filled with thrills and chills.

The annual Halloween celebration within Destiny 2’s gaming universe, known as the Festival of the Lost, is set to kick off on October 29 (two days prior to Halloween in 2024). As always, players are invited to join the spooky festivities, and this year is no exception. However, details about the event remain scarce at this time.

Bungie has shared details about the Halloween-themed items Destiny 2 players could potentially win during the Festival of the Lost this year, but they haven’t disclosed what activities the event will focus on or which weapons might be obtainable. However, by examining past versions of the event, we can make educated guesses about what this year’s Festival of the Lost might involve.

What 2024’s Festival of the Lost May and Will Bring to Destiny 2

2024’s Festival of the Lost May See a Repeat of 2023’s Iteration of the Event

For several years now, the Festival of the Lost event in Destiny 2 has followed a consistent pattern in its gameplay. Players initially interact with Eva Levante in the Tower to obtain a quest, which introduces them to the main Festival activities. These usually involve donning masks, earning currency, exchanging this currency, and finally presenting it back to Eva for prizes. Last year’s Festival of the Lost introduced an Event Card, offering players additional objectives to accomplish for cosmetic items and other rewards. Given this trend, we can anticipate these elements to recur again in this year’s event.

In other words, the 2023 Festival of the Lost brought several innovations to its longstanding format, which earned it more acclaim than typical. Therefore, it might be prudent for Destiny 2 to reprise last year’s version of this event. Notably, the 2023 Festival of the Lost introduced Legend Haunted Sectors and Eerie Engrams, which were generally well-received. Furthermore, the 2023 event also showcased a unique all-black Memento that drew significant interest.

If the Superblack shader is introduced in April 2024 and the Festival of the Lost this year offers a new Memento as a prize, we can expect that the new Memento will probably appear in a distinct color.

Bungie Has Revealed This Year’s Festival of the Lost Ornaments

Looking beyond the seasonal aspects, one exciting aspect to anticipate in Destiny 2’s Festival of the Lost event is a fresh assortment of Halloween-inspired trinkets for players to personalize their in-game gear. Consistently, Destiny 2 unveils a unique set of trinkets for each class to collect every year, and this tradition continues with the 2024 event. Thankfully, details about the rest of the 2024 Festival of the Lost event are scarce, but its new trinket collection has been announced.

During the latest live stream for ‘Destiny 2’, Bungie showcased the upcoming Festival of the Lost ornaments briefly. These ornaments are designed to represent either dark (evil) or light (good) wizards. The Hunters will receive a dark wizard set, characterized by a worn cloak, a traditional wizard hat, steel accents, and a magenta radiance emanating from specific armor parts. In comparison, the Warlock’s 2024 Festival of the Lost ornaments share similarities with those of the Hunters, but they appear slightly bulkier. Lastly, Titans will get to use a set of “good wizard” ornaments featuring a navy blue and gold color scheme, as well as designs evoking the sun scattered throughout the set.

Once again, participants can anticipate a weapon-focused progression in the 2024 Festival of the Lost event, alongside an abundance of masks for seasonal festivities. With the event set to kick off on October 29th, it won’t be long before Bungie shares additional information about this exciting occasion.
