The Festival of the Lost was the Halloween event in Destiny 1. Will it return in Destiny 2 ?
“Once again, we light candles, hang lanterns, and laugh in the face of death.” – Under this motto, the Festival of the Lost took place in 2016. This festival was the Halloween event in Destiny 1, where Guardians would don silly masks, earn new treasures and new shaders, and even receive a “flying broom” as a Sparrow .
This Halloween event took place from October 25th to November 8th, 2016. Therefore, many Guardians are currently asking: Will the Festival of the Lost return in Destiny 2? Shouldn’t it be starting soon?
Hints about Eva Levante
The contact person for the Halloween event in Destiny 1 was Eva Levante. She was always located in the North Tower, brought a short quest to the festival, and happily distributed her masks, which you were then able to wear.
Eva Levante is missing in Destiny 2. She is neither in the Tower nor in the Farm.
However: Concrete hints about Eva Levante have been found in the databases. The code directly refers to “Eva Levante”. This symbol is thereby connected to the one that was undoubtedly the symbol of Eva in Destiny 1: It also states that the full description of this character will be coming soon.
Some Guardians are concluding that Eva Levante will soon make a return in Destiny 2 and bring the Festival of the Lost. But will it really be so?
Festival of the Lost will be cancelled this year
No, that will not happen, reveals now the community manager DeeJ. On Twitter, he responded to the direct question of whether the Festival of the Lost will take place this year: No. We may see it again someday, but Season 1 in Destiny 2 is solely about the launch and the activation of the rituals. The first event in Destiny 2 will be “The Dawning”.
The “The Dawning” event is expected this winter along with Season 2. So far, we know that it will bring new armor pieces, ice hockey, and snowball fights.
Whether Eva Levante will eventually appear in Destiny 2 or if the hints are just remnants in the databases remains to be seen.
By the way: The Festival of the Lost did not go over well with a large part of the Guardians in 2016. Because almost all event items were tied to loot boxes. You could only earn a few boxes with the characters – if you wanted more, you had to make microtransactions.
