Cyprus – October 5, 2026 – The demo for Guns of Eschaton, the Western FPS Soulslike from developer Eschatology Entertainment and publisher 4Divinity, is available to download now on Steam. Players around the globe can venture onto the Hound’s Path ahead of the game’s participation in Steam Next Fest this October.

Go West, gunslinger, and watch the demo trailer here:

Taking on the role of a mysterious gunslinger, players will journey through an unforgiving, apocalyptic 19th-century Americana, where bullets are scarce, every death is a lesson, and a single mistake can be fatal. Each encounter can be approached in a myriad of ways, but be warned – knowing when not to pull the trigger is just as important as knowing when to fire.  

Historically-inspired firearms, specialized ammunition, timed parries, occult powers, talismans, and consumables all form the gunslinger’s arsenal. Players will also be able to use the Codex to reveal enemy weaknesses, which just might help the gunslinger live to see another day. 

The demo launches today and will remain available through Steam Next Fest, taking place from October 19 – October 26. Those ready to brave the Weird West (or die trying) can download the demo on Steam now.

Content will include a new free map and the option to buy new Michael skins, new Civilian characters, and a very special Halloween Costume pack!

LAKEWOOD, CO – Oct. 5, 2026 – Developer and publisher IllFonic, alongside co-publisher Gun Interactive and their partners Compass International Pictures and Further Front, today unveil upcoming new content for asymmetrical stealth horror Halloween: The Game. The teams also share the roadmap outline for the first year of post-launch support.

Now that players have had their hands on Michael Myers as he appeared in the film that started it all, “John Carpenter’s Halloween,” we are excited to share that we have partnered with Trancas International Films, Inc., and MIRAMAX to license new versions of Michael. On October 27, 2026, players can purchase the version of Michael from “Halloween 5: The Return of Michael Myers,” and the version of Michael from “Halloween 2018,” which mask design is being supervised by Academy Award winner Christopher Nelson, who sculpted the mask for the recent and highly successful trilogy of “Halloween 2018,” “Halloween Kills,” and “Halloween Ends.”

In addition, a new map will be added for all players who purchased the game, inspired by the settings of “Halloween 5” – The Tower Farm Map – where worn country roads meet at the center of a small, quaint farming community just outside of Haddonfield. A lit filling station anchors the new map, providing Civilians a reference point as they scramble across wide roads and through cornfields. While the map’s open nature helps with navigation, it also creates a no-man’s land where Civilians can become easy prey. Hide in roadside ditches to stay out of sight, then pray for the perfect moment for a harrowing sprint to safety. 

Farmhouses replace suburban homes, shifting the feel and flow of 1v4 multiplayer matches. Farm equipment, hay bales, and overgrown brush turn every yard into a twisted playground for Michael Myers to attack. Barns, sheds, and houses give Civilians a chance to escape, catch their breath, and have a chance at evading the Boogeyman.

A harvest festival, trailer park, and pumpkin-filled gardens bring the new map to autumnal life, lit by the last light of a setting sun. A basement chase or a sprint through the pumpkin patch can go either way: seek new hiding spots and exits while Michael finds fresh ways to stalk his prey.  In addition to the new Tower Farm map and two Michael Myers skins, we will also be introducing two new Civilians, a very special Halloween costume pack, and more in the first of a series of post-launch content updates for Halloween: The Game that will be carried out across the first year.

“1978 was only the beginning,” said Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer, IllFonic. “With the Tower Farm map, we take the terror of that first event in Haddonfield into somewhere wide open, where there’s nowhere to hide except in the dark – where Michael Myers truly comes to life.” 

October 27th Drop Includes:

DLC: Michael Skins – $9.99 Each

• Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers – $9.99
• Halloween (2018) – $9.99

DLC: Civilian Characters Pack – $9.99 for Both

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Oct. 5, 2026 – The hungry hordes are back for more! Saber Interactive has launched the new “Waves of Lead” Update for World War Z, the ultimate co-op zombie action game. Free for all players on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, today’s update turns up the heat against the relentless undead with a variety of new content. There’s also new premium weapon skin DLC – the “Valhalla Raider” Weapon Skin Pack – for the most dedicated warriors.

Waves of Lead delivers a range of new content for players to discover today. Kit yourself out with a set of five new mutators, six new heavy weapon perks, three unlockable custom frames, and the new double-barreled Bullpup Shotgun and Gas Pipe Wrench melee weapon. The update also brings the extreme difficulty of Extinction Mode to the World War Z x The Walking Dead crossover DLC episode. DLC owners can now put their survival skills to the ultimate test against The Walking Dead‘s iconic slow-moving Walkers in locations like the Prison, the Alexandria Safe Zone, and Grady Memorial Hospital! Today’s update adds six new perks, one for each heavy weapon, that can be unlocked and used in combat:

• Last Exhaust: When your SchreiTech Forest Warrior chainsaw’s fuel runs out, gain a camouflage effect for three seconds.
• Pillbox: You cannot be grabbed while aiming with the MAG5 machinegun.
• Cluster Bombs: Replace grenades with cluster bombs for the Hailstorm MGL. The blast radius of each cluster bomb is reduced by 50%, and when they explode, they scatter small explosive charges that detonate one second after the main blast.
• Dragon Breath Shells: The Taiga-12 heavy assault shotgun will fire incendiary rounds, but ammo capacity is reduced by 30%.
• Two-layer Bullet: Bullets for the BF25 payload rifle pierce through the first Zeke, and continue their trajectory, exploding after striking the next target. Total ammo capacity drops by 30%.
• White Phosphorus: MRL202 Commando rocket launchers are loaded with white phosphorus, affecting a large area and setting all enemies within radius on fire – all without leaving a burning puddle!

The Waves of Lead update also introduces five new mutators:

• Paranoid’s Reserves: Available as a permanent mutator, equipment crates may be booby-trapped
• All-In: The maximum health of all survivors and zombies becomes equal to one, and the overall time to return to combat is cut in half. Survivors can be incapacitated for an unlimited number of times, and getting back on their feet is faster!
• Let Them Dance: Zekes take increased damage from any shot to the legs and reduced damage from hits to the rest of the body
• Sharp Shards: Explosions from devices and heavy weapons will cause bleeding
• Leaky Backpack: You slowly lose ammo when grabbed!

Also out today is the new Valhalla Raider Weapon Skin Pack, available for $4.99. Amp your loadout with a collection of runic steel looks for the Geist 17 machine pistol, ARK-103 assault rifle, BSG-12 bullpup shotgun, Paladin LMG light automatic rifle, and Taiga-12 heavy assault shotgun.

Powered by the next generation of Saber’s dynamic Swarm Engine™, World War Z lets you play solo with AI squadmates or in co-op for up to four players with full crossplay between PC and consoles. Take on hordes of ravenous zombies on screen at once in New York, Moscow, Jerusalem, Tokyo, Marseille, Rome/Vatican City, and the Kamchatka peninsula, as well as DLC campaign episodes in Las Vegas, Arizona, and the world of AMC’s The Walking Dead!

Inherit a cursed cellphone, confront spirits born from trauma and fight to keep your sanity inside Nishikawa High School.

October 2, 2026 – Tokyo-based horror publisher Serafini Productions and Chilean independent studio Time Hunters announced Signal Veil, a third-person survival horror game with a strong focus on psychological terror, emotional storytelling and a 90s anime-inspired aesthetic. The game is in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The reveal is accompanied by the game’s first announcement trailer, offering a first look at the haunted halls that await players.

In Signal Veil, players take on the role of Aki Mizuno, a teenage girl whose mother vanishes without a trace, leaving behind one final gift: an old cellphone that reacts to spirits no one else can see. Inside the seemingly ordinary halls of Nishikawa High School, a series of disappearances begins to unfold. Through tense exploration, ritual-like encounters and an increasingly fragile mind, Aki must uncover a past buried under false memories and silence.

Visually, the game blends the tension of classic survival horror such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill with a 90s anime aesthetic inspired by psychological horror series like Another and Jujutsu Kaisen.

Nishikawa High School is a place where every hallway hides a threat and every resource counts. Medicine, ammo and mystical weapons are scarce, so each fight against the school’s spirits demands strategy over brute force. Aki’s sanity adds another layer. As her mind slips, the world around her shifts, enemies grow more unpredictable and her own fighting becomes more desperate.

KEY FEATURES

• Classic Fixed Camera: Explore tense environments with preset angles that limit vision and heighten suspense, inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
• Spiritual Phone: Detect supernatural entities through vibrations, static or distortions. Use the flash to stun and the camera to reveal hidden objects or imprints.
• Spiritual Purge: Enemies require ritual-like sequences: detect, provoke, stun, expose essence, then purge permanently.
• Limited Tactical Combat: Scarce ammo and improvised weapons. Each entity has unique behaviors, demanding observation, strategy and environmental exploitation.

AVAILABILITY

Signal Veil is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4528010/Signal_Veil
PlayStation Store: store.playstation.com/concept/10020814
Epic Games Store:store.epicgames.com/p/signal-veil-80c9fe

Players can wishlist the game today and follow future updates as the secrets of Nishikawa High School come to light.
