Torchlight 3 Halloween — Gears ‘N’ Goblins Update

n

The Torchlight 3 Halloween update brings the pets along for the ride. Players can rescue three new Halloween-themed pets from bosses and dungeons: the Midnight Cat, Spooky Retriever, and Dragonling Spirt. Each with a special skill that summons skeletons in battle, but the pets are only available until December.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker Halloween: Haunted Frontier

n

Hardspace: Shipbreaker‘s Halloween event is Haunted Frontier, full of spooky haunted ships that put your bravery — and desire for salvage — to the test.

n

The update, which is live now on Steam, turns any ship into a potential ghost ship. Things start deteriorating as you gather materials and fend off rogue AI nodes. Lights flicker on and off. Air gets sucked out of the room. And somewhere deep in the ship, unsettling sounds can be heard…

n

Should you make it out alive, you can show off your hard-earned rewards with new stickers and badges.

No Man’s Sky Halloween Update

n

Head back to the outer reaches of the galaxy to find some new loot in the No Man’s Sky Halloween update. Brave explorers can scour Desolation’s wrecked vessels again to find a new item, Tainted Metal, and have a chance to snag some Quicksilver. But it comes at a cost. The freighters are full of new treats and a security system gone haywire.

n

Trade Tainted Metal with the Scrap Dealer to get new base decorations and additional customization options, or you can stockpile it to exchange for the Horrific Flesh-Helmet.

n

Scrap Dealers also have Orange Pustules and Detoxified Slimes for infesting and purifying bases.

PixARK Halloween

n

PixARK Halloween brings a spooky makeover to the survival game from now until November 2, with costumes and treats galore.

n

• n

n

• • Magic Broom

n

• • Flying Firework

n

• • Clown Costume

PUBG Mobile Infection Mode

n

PUBG Mobile‘s Infection Mode is back from the dead from now until November 9, with new content, themes, costumes, and plenty of zombies.

n

Infection Mode’s classic combat returns, pitting a team of Defenders against a team of Zombies in an all-or-nothing fight. Zombies — sporting Halloween masks, if you so choose —  can only use melee attacks, but fallen Defenders transform into Zombies with chances for form shifts and stat buffs.

n

If it all gets too much for the Defenders, they transform into Vanquishers when their team is down to three members. Foes they vanquish can’t be resurrected.

n

These hellish fights unfold across maps decked out with pumpkins, gravestones, and other seasonal paraphernalia. More costumes and decorations are planned before the end of the event.

Dreams Halloween

n

If you’re looking for a more atmospheric experience, Dreams‘ Halloween event, All Hallows’ Dreams, may be for you. The whole thing is user-generated, like the rest of Dreams, and All Hallows’ Dreams pops up at the top of the world list when you boot the game up.

n

Choosing it takes you to a dream world with different scary mansions to explore.

n

Some are reportedly very scary indeed, though they have their biggest frights confined to the upper floors. Others are just fun, creepy haunted houses to explore, complete with pumpkins carved by other Dreams players and a costume zone.

Call of Duty Halloween 2020 — Haunting of Verdansk

n

Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare share a Halloween event in 2020: Haunting of Verdansk. The event runs from October 20 through November 3. It’s a multi-pronged event featuring crossovers with SAW and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but some of it does come at a cost.

n

Activision promised more Halloween-themed bundles for the in-game store, including the new Dr. Karlov bundle focused on regional Verdansk folklore and a Grim Reaper bundle.

Overcooked! 2 — Moon Harvest Festival

n

Overcooked! 2‘s Halloween celebration isn’t technically Halloween-themed. It’s in honor of harvest and autumn celebrations throughout eastern Asia, but it’s fall-ish, so it works.

n

Better yet, it’s a free update with no end time, and the content will appear in Overcooked! All You Can Eat for next-gen consoles.

n

Overcooked! 2‘s Moon Harvest Festival introduces new kitchens themed around water and lily pad obstacles. There are five new levels total, plus three succulent-looking mooncakes to add to the menu.

Borderlands 3 Halloween — Bloody Harvest Returns

n

Borderlands 3‘s Bloody Harvest Halloween event is back for October 2020. The ghoulish festivities run through November 5, and it’s easier than ever to get your hands on some sweet, ghastly gear.

n

To kick things off, head to Sanctuary III, and speak with Maurice. Maurice tasks you with collecting Hecktoplasm from haunted enemies, easily spotted by their ghostly green glow.

n

Defeating haunted enemies spawns specters you’ll need to defeat as well, and that’s when you finally get ahold of Hecktoplasm.

n

After collecting enough of Hecktoplasm, Maurice opens the gate to Heck, where you can chat with Captain Haunt to access a number of quests, through which you’ll earn Bloody Harvest items and cosmetics.

n

This year, the Bloody Harvest quests are less demanding than before, making it easier to get loot.

n

• n

• • 4 challenges completed — “A Shrinking Feeling” weapon trinket

n

• • 8 challenges completed — “Message from Beyond” ECHO Device skin

n

• • 12 challenges completed — “Haunted Look” shared Vault Hunter skin

n

• • 15 challenges completed — “Porphyrophobia” weapon skin

n

n

Festival of the Lost 2020 adds new perk rolls for the Braytech Werewolf and Horror Story, plus new sets for a few classes:

n

• n

• • Hunter — Lycanthrope Set

n

• • Warlock — Daywalker (vampire) Set

n

• • Titan — Promethean Set

n

n

On the official Festival of the Lost blog post, Bungie provided more information on the Halloween event. The Spider is a new NPC that gives players Cipher Decoders that unlock special chests at the end of The Haunted Forest. The chests are worth pursuing because they contain Legendary items specific to the Festival of the Lost.

n

Rounding things out, there are new Sparrow skins available, as well as festival masks and vanity items for various armor sets, including broomsticks and witch hats.

Resident Evil Resistance October Update

n

Resident Evil Resistance has a big October update in store, which is basically a Halloween update without actually being called a Halloween update.

n

Jill Valentine joins the ranks of the Survivors, with powerful weapons and her characteristic dodge mechanic from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis remake. And as is only fitting, Nemesis itself is a playable Mastermind for the first time. Players control Nemesis through playing as Nicholai, another new Mastermind.

n

The Prison is a new map added in RE Resistance‘s October update, and the Uptown Raccoon City and Bemusement Park maps get a remix with new layouts.

n

Finally is a slew of new costumes and weapon skins, Survivors’ perks and customizable abilities, and Mastermind traps.

Grounded October Update

n

Grounded’s October update adds ziplines and more to the survival game, including some Halloween-themed items. The initial announcement is relatively light on details, but players can expect decorations, recreational items, and doodads to use with friends. These include harvestable Candy Corn and a new landmark in the Frankenline, which is described as “a creepy discarded Etch-a-Sketch you can actually draw on.”

n

Aside from washing The Backyard in a spooky glow, the October update for Grounded does a lot on the backend as well, including fixing a handful of bugs, fine-tuning combat, and unlocking new perks. You can see the full patch notes here.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath — All Hallows’ Eve

n

Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath is getting some Halloween goodness with the All Hallows’ Eve character skin pack. It’s available now and is free for Aftermath owners. Those who haven’t upgraded to Aftermath yet would need to purchase the expansion, which also unlocks the Summer Heat and Femme Fatale packs from earlier in 2020. 

n

Mortal Kombat 11’s All Hallows’ Eve skin pack trailer highlighted three of the included skins. One is the “Blizzard King” outfit for Sub-Zero, and then there’s the part-werewolf part-school spirit “Beast Within” skin for Johnny Cage. Then there’ “Bad Medicine” for D’Vorah, turning the Kytinn fighter into a spidery nurse from hell. 

n

It’s not certain if Warner Bros. is adding anything else to Mortal Kombat 11’s Halloween event, but we’ll update if something new turns up.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Halloween

n

The Halloween fun isn’t limited to New Horizons, as Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp celebrates spooky season in its own way. The 2020 Pocket Camp Halloween event features a number of special activities with ghoulish treats on offer for those who complete certain goals.

n

Jack comes around and demands sweet treats. Hand over bat-themed lollipops to get bat furniture as a reward, and plant pumpkins during the month’s Garden Event to nab hatbats. Jack offers exclusive items such as mystical pumpkins in return.

n

Taking part in the October Fishing Tourney nets some goodies as well, with potion-themed furniture on offer every time players reach a size goal with the fish they catch.

n

Then there’s a fright night gyroidite scavenger hunt, new Happy Home classes and challenges, wall and carpet sets, special cookie items and more. The Pocket Camp Halloween and October events are live now.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Halloween

n

Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘ Halloween update is available to download for free now, and it’s bringing more than just the Czar of Halloween to the island. 

n

Animal Crossing patch 1.5 paves the way for Halloween by adding Candy as an item players can purchase from the Nooklings’ store and pumpkins as growable DIY fodder.

n

The patch 1.5 trailer shows players planting, watering, and harvesting at least four different pumpkin varieties and then using them in various Halloween-themed DIY recipes.

n

On Halloween night (October 31), Jack himself visits the island. It’s not clear yet what he requires of the player, but all the residents will be lurking about, asking for Candy and showing off their costumes.

n

The patch adds new skin tone options for players to look their creepy best as well. We’ll update with more information about what New Horizons Halloween brings to the table as it becomes available.

Monster Hunter: World Iceborne — Fun Fright Fest

n

Capcom’s brewing up a special Monster Hunter: World Iceborne Halloween event called the Fun Fright Fest, part of the hefty Title Update 5. It runs from October 15 at 8 p.m. EST through November 5 at the same time and is exclusive to the expansion.

n

The Autumn Harvest Fest is returning to the base Monster Hunter: World game, but Capcom hasn’t said much about it yet.

n

Fun Fright Fest (starting at 7:06 in the above trailer) sees the Seliana Gathering Hub decked out with spooky furnishings, and the handler dons a Cute Demoness outfit to celebrate the occasion. There are two special ticket types to collect during the event and trade in for loot: the Fun Fright Ticket and the VIP Fun Fright Ticket. 

n

The former get doled out as daily login bonuses for the MHW Halloween event and can be used to craft armor with Decoration slots. Players can exchange the latter for in-game decorations and Layered Armor, but these are only available as random item drops. Both ticket types can be exchanged for Melding Tickets too.

n

There’s at least one new set of armor coming to the Fun Fright Fest, Demon Lord Alpha+. Wearing pieces of this armor set increases the chance of getting VIP Fun Fright Tickets.

n

Capcom may reveal more about Monster Hunter: World Iceborne’s Fun Fright Fest as the start date approaches, and we’ll update if that happens.

Killing Floor 2: Infernal Insurrection

n

It wouldn’t be Halloween without Killing Floor 2’s annual Halloween celebrations, and 2020 is no different. This year’s Halloween event is Killing Floor 2: Infernal Insurrection, and it brings treats galore, including new weapons, maps, and cosmetics.

n

Infernal Insurrection’s new map is Hallmark Station, a twisted take on London’s famous King’s Cross Station. Hallmark Station has been overrun by zeds, of course, and players must team up with fellow mercenaries to take down the demonic threat. Hellmark Station includes Survival, Endless, and Weekly modes.

n

Two new HRG weapons make their debut in Killing Floor 2’s Halloween event.

n

• n

• • HRG Scorcher (Firebug class bonus) — a flare gun that marks targets by setting them on fire

n

• • HRG Arc Generator (Survivalist class bonus) — fires EMP blasts in short bursts or powerful charges

n

n

From now until November 10, Killing Floor 2 is also introducing a number of Halloween events, objectives, bonuses, and cosmetics.

October 2020 is upon us, which means it’s time for scary movies, The Simpsons Tree House of Horror, and Halloween events in all our favorite video games! While we’re still on announcements from Overwatch and Apex Legends, games like Killing Floor 2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and MHW already have their in-game-event plans laid out for the spooky season.

n

From new weapons and outfits to new DIY recipes and Palico Halloween costumes, there are plenty of tricks, and even more treats, in store for the witching month.

n

Games that haven’t announced Halloween plans yet likely will in the coming weeks, and we’ll update this list of Halloween events when that happens. Be sure to bookmark this and check back throughout October!
