We don't know a ton yet about this years Festival of the Lost, despite it kicking off today. Rest assured that we will let you know when we get more info, but in the meantime, here's some quick info for the fest.
As far as the description, here's the skinny so far, straight from the mouth of the proverbial horse:
"Morale in the Tower is low after the fall of a legend: Cayde-6. This year, death has not passed us, it has come to stay. More than ever, it’s important to remember loved ones who have fallen, and to celebrate the fact that we have lived to fight on in their honor. Every Guardian is invited to experience the masquerade."
Bungie claims the Festival of the Lost is "a celebration of lost heroes and a new challenge to tackle. It includes a costume party, and you're all invited. It ends with a quest to solve a murder."
Festival of the Lost begins on Tuesday October 16th at 10 AM Pacific, and concludes on Tuesday November 6th at 10 AM Pacific.
Here's the bulletpoints of an interview, posted and translated by redditor ZOZOT3, and if you speak or read Japanese, let me know if this translation is on the up.
- Petra will move her location every week.
- No extra fast travel in the dreaming city.
- Prestige the last wish is coming, but Bungie hasn't decided the release date.
- On the raid release day, someone at Bungie had to stay all night to see who beats the raid first because they had to MANUALLY activate the new dreaming city.
- The detail of Festival of the Lost will be announced in a couple of weeks.
- Bungie abused the masterwork core too much. They are addressing it.
- Private match for Gambit is coming.
- Scott Taylor is working on a new future Destiny project beyond the annual pass contents.
