Halloween Month in GTA Online: New Themed Adversary Mode, the Obey 10F, Free Halloween Masks, and More

Judgement Day Comes to Los Santos in a Month-Long Halloween EventPlus, the Obey 10F Sports Car Now Available, and More

The end is nigh in Judgement Day, a new Adversary Mode that pits a small team of powerful Riders against a vulnerable group of Hunted in a kill-or-be-killed, hide-and-seek scenario. The Hunted need only worry about surviving through dawn.

Riders will begin each round on an LCC Sanctus and are equipped with extra health, speed, a Double Barrel Shotgun, Stone Hatchet, and a host of abilities — including a brief burst of thermal vision, heartbeat sense, and health regeneration when near their Sanctus. Riders also deal increased damage when near their Sanctus and will respawn if downed before the final minute.

Riders must sniff out and eliminate the Hunted to emerge victorious. Hunted will find weapons strewn across the map, which Riders cannot pick up. While killing a Rider won’t be an easy task, it’s the only way to bring a fallen teammate back into the fray for a crucial bit of back-up — though resurrections are disabled in the final minute.

Listen out for audio cues when the Riders are nearby, but don’t let them get too close — a fire will consume any Hunted who comes within breathing distance of a Rider. Hunted must survive until dawn and run down the clock to take the victory or kill all the Riders in the final Sudden Death minute.

For this week only, both teams will earn 2X GTA$ and RP for playing Judgement Day as well as a bonus of GTA$300,000 for winning 3 rounds (delivered within 72 hours of completion). Plus, look out for new Halloween clothing, collectibles, events, and returning fan-favorite modes in the weeks to come.

Obey 10F Now Available

The Obey 10F sports car has a lot of things going for it right out of the box: air intake slots, titanium valvetrain, a muscular engine. But combine those good bones with a suite of customizations, and you’ve got an excellent value proposition that adapts well to change. That’s more than anyone can say about your dating profile.

The Obey 10F, now available for purchase from Legendary Motorsport.

Get the War Mask

Halloween Vehicles Return for a Limited Time

As All Hallows’ Eve draws near, things get weird in Southern San Andreas. There’s a chill to the air, and a creepy feeling that sets the hair on the back of your neck on end. Along with that grim atmosphere, the LCC Sanctus, Albany Fränken Stange, and Albany Lurcher have also returned — available from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos in-game website only through November 1.

Only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

Premium Test Ride: Pegassi Weaponized Ignus

Step into a cosmic carnival with Unfinity

Magic: The Gathering’s new un-set brings infinite laughs in zero gravity

Friday 7 October, 2022 — Come one, come all! Wizards of the Coast today released Unfinity, the latest set for the world’s oldest and best trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Unfinity is the first-ever black bordered un-set that sweeps players into a sci-fi carnival of cosmic proportions with hilarious and fun new mechanics. The set contains 244 cards and releases for tabletop today.

There’s more than just magic to be found in the vibrant and wacky cosmic carnival of Unfinity. Unfinity doesn’t just break the rules, but blasts them into space by being the first un-set that contains black-bordered “eternal” cards that are legal for Commander, Legacy and Vintage play. Some cards, however, are just meant for the circus: these are characterised by an acorn-shaped holofoil that indicates they’re intended for casual play only.

Hilarity abounds in Unfinity, with ridiculously fun new mechanics following the space and carnival themes. New Artifact cards called Attractions will bring the carnival experience to any match, triggering different abilities based on the roll of a six-sided die each turn while the card is in play. Featuring minigames such as ‘Dart Throw’ or locations like ‘The Superlatorium’ that offer unique interactivity and in-game prizes, attractions are a crucial part of any Unfinity Draft. The new set also introduces Stickers, allowing players to boost the power/toughness of their cards or activate new abilities through sticking new names, art and stats to existing cards. These can be purchased with Tickets, a new resource counter found on most cards that can be customised with stickers.

Collector’s will marvel at Unfinity’s stunning suite of out-of-this-world lands, including reimaginings of the Ravnica dual-lands, affectionately dubbed ‘shock lands’ by Magic’s community. The entire set of shock lands is available in borderless cosmic artwork from box toppers, draft boosters and collector boosters. To really embrace the sci-fi, Orbital and Planetary “space-ic” lands are also up for grabs in foil, non-foil and flashy new Galaxy foil treatments, showcasing the marvellous spacescape awaiting beyond the colourful carnival.

The spoils don’t end there. Unfinity also pay’s homage to an atomic-futurism-meets-MTG aesthetic with eye-popping showcase cards, retro-fying 30 Legendary creatures with the “Showcase Cards of Tomorrow”. For players who also miss the classic un-installments, ‘The List’ for Unfinity features 60 cards from previous un-sets in silver-border frames.

Unfinity will be available as Draft Boosters and – for the first time for an Un-set – Collector Boosters.

Magic: The Gathering collaborates with Warhammer 40,000!

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war… and Magic.

Introducing Magic’s first ever non-Secret Lair Universes Beyond co-branded product release!

Friday 7 October, 2022 — Wizards of the Coast will be releasing WARHAMMER 40,000 Commander Decks, its first non–Secret Lair Universes Beyond release for Magic: The Gathering (MTG), for tabletop on 7 October.

In an epic collaboration of two tabletop titans, Warhammer 40,000 and Magic: The Gathering, this release brings the grimdark lore, iconic art, warring factions, and war-torn tabletop gameplay of the Warhammer 40,000 universe into Magic’s Multiverse with four Commander decks and three adjacent Secret Lair products. Each deck is ready-to-play, built around the distinctive strategies and battle-hardened warlords of one or more factions from Warhammer 40,000’s war-torn galaxy, and comes in two versions: a regular version and collector’s edition.

The four commander decks that also come in a Collector’s Edition are:

Tyranid Swarm (green-blue-red)
Forces of the Imperium (white-blue-black)
Necron Dynasties (mono-black)
The Ruinous Powers (blue-black-red) 

The Collector’s Edition comes fully foiled with the never-before-seen special surge foil and has the same card content.

Fans will be able to experience and explore their favourite lore and characters in a whole new collectible way. Magic celebrates and rewards creativity (hours and hours of creativity!) and dedicated planning just like Warhammer 40,000 and allows Warhammer fans to step into the Power Armour (or carapace) of their favourite warlords for the first time.

The set offers the grimdark lore and brutal storytelling of one of tabletop gaming’s ultimate titans. New commanders, new mechanics, and brand-new artwork bring a host of new deckbuilding options and all of them more brutal than the last. It merges Warhammer’s tactical brutality with Magic’s strategic spellslinging, delivering everything the dark heart of a Magic + Warhammer 40,000 fan could desire. Spells for the Spell Throne!

For collectors looking for the blingiest cards and collectibles, Warhammer 40,000 Commander Deck Collectors Editions are the flashiest way to experience Magic in the 41st millennium.

About Universes Beyond

Universes Beyond promises Magic fans a combination of the gameplay and history/lore they love and the characters, lore, art style, and experience of other iconic fantasy settings.

For Magic fans, Universes Beyond transports them into the other fandoms they love deeply (such as Middle-earth), letting them play, explore, and experience the world’s greatest strategy game with a new look and feel.

For non-Magic fans, Universes Beyond allows individual fandoms the ability to see and experience the world they love in a whole new way—to take an active role within a beloved setting.
