This Halloween, fans of For Honor and Destiny are in for a treat! The crossover event titled "Light of the Guardians" promises to bring the beloved universe of Destiny into the battlefield of For Honor. From October 24 to November 14, players can expect new challenges, themed cosmetics, and a unique gameplay experience that intertwines both franchises. However, it's important to note that while For Honor players are getting fresh content, Destiny 2 players are left with a familiar Halloween event—Festival of the Lost—that hasn't changed much over the years.
New Adventures Await in For Honor
The "Light of the Guardians" event will introduce players to new enemies inspired by the Scorn, a notorious faction from Destiny. This thrilling addition offers players a fresh mode based on Domination, where they will face off against these formidable foes in the Cathedral map. Unlike traditional gameplay, players will not have minions aiding them, creating a more intense and challenging environment.
Alongside new gameplay mechanics, players can look forward to exclusive Destiny-themed cosmetics. Notably, iconic skins such as “The Crucible Lord” for the Centurion and “The Violet King” for Lawbringers will be available. These additions not only enrich the gaming experience but also allow players to showcase their love for both franchises.
What’s Happening with Destiny 2?
While For Honor players enjoy a dynamic Halloween event, Destiny 2 players are gearing up for the Festival of the Lost, which begins on October 29. This event has remained largely unchanged for years, consisting of players entering decorated Lost Sectors to battle Headless Ones and collect Candy for rewards. Although the event has its charm, many players feel it lacks innovation and excitement.
This year, the timing of the Festival feels particularly off, starting just two days before Halloween. With the majority of the celebration occurring after the holiday has passed, players are expressing their disappointment, as seen on forums and social media platforms. Some players are opting to participate in other games' Halloween events instead, feeling that Destiny 2's offering is stale.
Community Reactions
The community's response to the crossover has been mixed. While many are excited about the potential and creativity behind the For Honor event, there is frustration regarding Destiny 2's lack of new content. Bungie, the studio behind Destiny, has a history of collaborating with other franchises, and fans are hopeful that this partnership could lead to new and exciting elements in Destiny 2 in the future.
However, Bungie has yet to confirm any new content for Destiny 2 related to the crossover. This has left many players wondering if the crossover will remain a one-sided affair, with For Honor receiving the spotlight while Destiny 2 continues with its standard offerings.
Looking Ahead
As the Halloween season approaches, players are eager to see how the events unfold. The For Honor crossover event is set to provide a refreshing change for players, while Destiny 2 players are left hoping for surprises. It's a reminder of how gaming communities thrive on collaboration, creativity, and the desire for new experiences.
For now, fans of both franchises can look forward to their respective events. Whether you’re battling Scorn in For Honor or collecting Candy in Destiny 2, the Halloween spirit is alive and well in the gaming world!
