Every so often, I think of how crazy Sega's Dreamcast era was. It came out with a huge bang, then fizzled so hard that Sega got out of the console game completely. Given that I still play my Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega CD, and Dreamcast in my spare time, it's like it never died: but it did! That's why it's so amazingto me that the Sonic franchise has not only endured but is constantly debuting on a system run by its former competitor, Nintendo. All that to say: Sonic Superstars is the main eShop game coming out this week, and will be out on October 17.
Beyond that, Fotnite, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Overwatch 2, Fall Guys, and Apex Legends are all running Halloween events, which you can read about below:
Fortnite?During Fortnitemares 2023, it?s time to call in a vampire hunter ? you! Match the stakes of Kado Thorne?s threat with the new Wood Stake Shotgun. Don?t stop at just vampire hunting ? jump into the Horde Rush limited-time experience, complete quests for in-game rewards and more! Fortnitemares 2023 runs until Nov. 3 at 2 a.m. ET.
Disney Dreamlight Valley?Prepare for plenty of frights and delights in this season?s new Haunted Holiday Star Path! Trick and treat yourself to various items and cosmetics inspired by Disney?s Hocus Pocus, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tim Burton?s The Nightmare Before Christmas and Disneyland?s The Haunted Mansion. Additionally, from Oct. 24 to Nov. 1, the seasonal candy event is returning to the Valley! Search your Plaza for colorful candy buckets to unlock Dreamlight duties and prizes.
Overwatch 2?Starting Oct. 10, team up with Pharah as she leads the forces of light against Moira and her allies of darkness. Defeat powerful bosses and level up your hero in the new Trials of Sanctuary game mode. Travel to a tropical paradise with the new Samoa map, try out Sombra?s new ability kit and look out for Roadhog?s rework later in the season. Explore seasonal cosmetics in the shop or earn them with the Battle Pass!
Fall Guys?On Oct. 17, the Trick or Yeet Fame Pass will help pack the Blunderdome with fanciful, fearsome fancy dress. Highlights include the gnawsome Bat-Tastic Costume for bitey Beans and the Buff Guy Costume that adds insta-muscles without the workout. Scary never looked cuter than the Bad Beast or Pawly Repaired Costumes.
Apex Legends?Until Oct. 31, embrace your dark side in Tricks N? Treats Trios, where you?ll find candy that boosts your EVO level and Ultimate charge, plus Copycat Kits that grant extra Legend abilities. Drop into After Dark versions of Olympus, Kings Canyon and World?s Edge. Unlock 24 limited-time items before the event ends and automatically receive Revenant?s Prestige Skin ?Apex Nightmare.?
