[Update]: MultiVersus Update 1.05 has added Black Adam, the first Arcade mode and a "Silly Queue".
Only a few weeks have gone by since MultiVersus threw Rick Sanchez into the arena, and already a brand new update has arrived! This one brings with it Stripe from Gremlins as a fast and aggressive Assassin-type character, as well as a Halloween event featuring a bunch of fancy cosmetics.
First things first, allow me to share with you Stripe's gameplay preview. It should give you a pretty good idea of what his abilities are and just how wacky he truly looks. Have a gander:
As a small apology, Overwatch 2 is giving away a Legendary skin and planning double XP weekends

[Update #2]: Overwatch 2's Halloween Terror update has now arrived alongside a brand new co-op mission and sadly only three new legendary skins.
[Update]: Unfortunately, Overwatch 2 will only be making balance changes at the start of each two-month season.
Thanks to the server-related bugs, lengthy queue times, problems with the mobile authentication system and even heroes randomly locking themselves, Overwatch 2's launch has not exactly gone by smoothly. So in order to apologize for all of the problems, Blizzard is now planning a small giveaway.
First and foremost, all players who log in between October 25th and the end of Season 1 will be granted the new Cursed Captain Reaper Legendary skin and the rather appropriate Health Pack Weapon Charm pictured below. All you have to do is simply launch Overwatch 2 while the promotion is active and both items will be yours - no further steps required.

[Update #2]: Right on cue, the Shadow of the Mad King Festival has now been unleashed. Have fun messing around with the labyrinth!
[Update]: The Guild Wars 2 team has now revealed the full update roadmap for Fall and Winter 2022.
In celebration of the spookiest time of year, Guild Wars 2 will be unleashing the highly popular Shadow of the Mad King event this October 18th. Much like its previous iterations, Shadow of the Mad King will bring with it an assortment of Halloween themed cosmetics and decorations to mess around with, the Mad King's Labyrinth to endlessly farm for candy-shaped goodies, a devious jumping puzzle to conquer, as well as a couple of fun races to help spice things up a bit.
What all of this looks like in action, that you can check out through the trailer below. Behold pure nonsense:

If you're in the mood for a bit of nostalgia, you'll be happy to hear that the 1997 first-person shooter Chasm: The Rift has now been remastered. The new version brings with it enhanced graphics, support for modern resolutions, improved sound design and the usual assortment of Steam features like achievements.
Since trying to describe an FPS game through words alone is a bit of a pointless effort, allow me to share with you the gameplay trailer. It should give you a pretty good idea of just what Chasm: The Rift looks and plays like. Have a gander:
Deep Rock Galactic's Season 3 update is adding four awesome new grenades and potentially new enemies

[Update #2]: Deep Rock Galactic's Season 3 - Plaguefall update has added fancy new grenades, enemy variants and mission objectives.
[Update]: The Halloween event has now gone live, though the big Season 3 update is still being kept under wraps.
After a few rounds of teasers, the Deep Rock Galactic team has now finally shared a shred of concrete information about the big Season 3 update coming this November 3rd. As the name might imply, Season 3: Plaguefall will have you working towards cleansing a particularly nasty disease called Rockpox that has wormed its way through Hoxxes IV and seemingly created a new, evolved threat down in the mines.
In order to help you contend with these new challenges, Deep Rock Galactic will be adding four awesome new grenades to play around with. Since the Gunner loves his weapons so much, the Tactical Leadburster grenade will shoot out a massive amount of projectiles in a full 360-degree radius, thus ensuring anything caught in the radius will immediately regret its life choices. The Driller's Springloaded Ripper follows a similar line of thought, though instead of an explosion of bullets the 'grenade' and its array of razor-sharp teeth will continuously circle around an area and keep it clear of any chaff. Here's what the two look like in action:
Prison Architect's Undead DLC has added the living dead, bounty hunters and numerous traps

The previous free update has added aging and everything that comes with it, while the latest Prison Architect DLC has decided to push things even further by fleshing out what happens after death. Well, according to the Undead DLC, it's an overwhelming desire to feast upon as many delicious, delicious brains as you can get your hands on!
Much like in the movies, a person infected by the zombie virus will eventually succumb and become a mindless monstrosity that will then attack everyone that is dumb enough to come near them. Should anyone get bit, that's unfortunately game over for them as zombie bites are quite deadly! So if you and your prison want to survive, you'll need to make good use of the new traps, techniques and weapons (like the always handy chainsaw) in order to push back against the undead menace!

Rather than continue to babble, allow me to share with you the recently posted launch trailer. It should give you a pretty good idea of just what Lego Bricktales is trying to do. Have a gander:
