While it might not be as Halloween themed as last week's Darkwood giveaway, I'm still happy to say that Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition is currently free to grab! All you have to do is head on over to the Epic Games Store, add Fallout 3 to your account and you'll be good to go.
As always, the only catch is that there is a bit of a time limit. So whether you're planning to play it right now or somewhere down the line, make sure to unlock Fallout 3 for your account before the giveaway goes away on October 27th. And since you're already there, make sure to grab Shiro Games' Evoland RPGs as they are entirely free as well.

[Update #2]: Overwatch 2's first balance update has arrived with nerfs to Zarya, Genji, Sombra, as well as Junkrat for some reason.
[Update]: Overwatch 2's Halloween Terror update has now arrived alongside a brand new co-op mission and sadly only three new legendary skins.
While the details are few and far between, Overwatch 2's long-awaited PvE experiences" will finally start appearing in early 2023. However, if you don't feel like waiting all that long in order to get in on some co-op action, you'll be happy to hear that the upcoming Halloween Terror event will bring with it a sequel to the highly popular and PvE focused Junkenstein's Revenge game mode!
Blizzard is currently keeping things under wraps so if you're looking for an exact description of what's coming, I'm afraid you're out of luck. That said, given some of the recent rumors it's fairly likely this will be a more elaborate version of the original game mode featuring not only more enemies, but more complex ones ones as well. How true these rumors really are, that I suppose we'll find out soon enough as the Halloween Terror festivities will begin on October 25th, 2022!

I don't know what exactly happened to warrant this, but I'm happy to say that turn-based tactics games have suddenly started sprouting up on PC again! So between the Fire Emblem: Three Houses inspired Lost Eidolons and the freshly released' Triangle Strategy from the Octopath Traveler studio, you should have more than enough turn-based goodness to keep you entertained for a long time to come!
Much like Final Fantasy Tactics from which it draws a great deal of inspiration, Triangle Strategy is an intriguing mixture of a story-focused JRPG and a challenging turn-based tactics game. As such, besides fighting you'll also have to make a variety of choices throughout your travels that will dictate your character's worldview and the sort of allies that will join your cause.

[Update]: Konami has announced four new Silent Hill games, as well as a Silent Hill 2 inspired movie!
In an announcement that seems to have inspired a mixture of both excitement and dread among the fans, Konami has just revealed that they have a big Silent Hill project in the works. The details are currently nonexistent, though the full announcement will be going live at 2pm PDT on October 19th.
Konami has also taken the opportunity to launch a new Silent Hill website, though once there is no actual content on there outside of a new logo. As such, it's anyone's guess on whether this unannounced project will be a brand new Silent Hill game or perhaps a remake/remaster of the originals.

If you ever wanted to be a cat, by which I mean a fuzzy and adorable menace to society, the upcoming Stars in the Trash might just be what you're looking for. To put it simply, Stars in the Trash is a story-driven adventure about a spoiled cat that decided to run away from home in order to see what kind of mischief it could get itself into. And since this is a cat we're talking about, the answer is unsurprisingly quite varied!
However, the thing that really sets Stars in the Trash apart is the presentation, as everything has been hand-drawn to look like it came straight out of a classic Disney animation. What I mean by this, as well as what the gameplay in Stars in the Trash is like, that you can find out through the trailer below. Have a gander:
