Dead by Daylight x PUBG crossover is coming this Halloween, with a “horrific event” and spooky cosmetics
PUBG is getting a harrowing new event this October (as is New State) thanks to a spooky new Dead by Daylight crossover event on the horizon. As part of this new promotion, players of all three games will be able to net themselves some fancy new cosmetics, as well as take part in some exclusive events. Is this better than going outside and throwing chocolate at children? We’ll let you decide.
Lets start with PUBG players. As part of the event, battle royale heads will be able to earn 4 costumes and masks, 3 new backpack skins, a pan skin and a themed name plate between October 19 – December 7. These are all based on Dead by Daylight, so you’ll be able to rep a selection of your favourite killers as you drop into the firefight below.
In addition, there’s an exclusive Dead by Daylight hide and seek in-game web event that players can jump into in order to unlock some additional goodies. Four players can access it through the in-game lobby banner, where three survivors have to escape a killer in typical Dead by Daylight fashion: throwing objects and repairing generators in order to make their escape.

Project Zomboid build 42 will allow spooky basements and sewers
One of the most surprising things about Project Zomboid is how genuinely frightening it can be, despite the outwardly friendly visuals. Developer The Indie Stone is planning on making things quite a bit scarier, however – with some upcoming changes to the survival game’s underlying technology, soon we’ll be faced with exploring subterranean levels like basements and sewers. And they’re going to be very, very dark.
Apex Legends Dataminer Appears To Have Uncovered Spooky New LTM Map
Every October, Apex Legends throws its annual Halloween event, featuring an LTM called Shadow Royale that sees legends turned into zombie-like Shadows with supernatural speed and strength. But after a prolific Apex Legends dataminer uncovered evidence of a new Halloween event, it seems the game’s developers may have something different in store for trick-or-treaters this year: the new Gun Run LTM, set in a shadowy version of the Olympus map.
The dataminer, who has previously leaked the contents of Apex Legends’ battle passes well before they debuted in-game, posted an image to his Discord server that seemed to suggest an upcoming version of Gun Run set on a map called “Haunted Estates,” which appears to be a Halloween-ified version of Olympus’ Autumn Estates POI.
If this leak proves to be legitimate, it’ll be the biggest change to Apex’s annual Halloween event since it was renamed Shadow Royale (formerly Shadowfall) for the game’s second year, and would mean that Gun Run may not be gone for good when the Beast of Prey event ends on October 4. But Apex developers said in a recent AMA series that they don’t have plans for more events like Season 8’s multi-mode War Games event, so the leak could mean a spooky version of Gun Run will replace Shadow Royale entirely, as opposed to sharing the stage. One thing is certain, however: If the leak is legit, Apex players will finally get a glimpse of what Olympus looks like after dark, much like they did when the Kings Canyon After Dark map made its initial debut during Year 1’s Halloween celebration.

Jenna Ortega embodies Wednesday Addams in spooky teaser for ‘Wednesday’
Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) is a peculiar child…but then again, she is an Addams. The macabre runs in her blood.
In the teaser trailer for Tim Burton’s upcoming Netflix series Wednesday, we get to see how Wednesday fares when separated from her family. After getting expelled from several schools — once for an incident involving piranhas and water polo players — Wednesday is sent to Nevermore Academy, where Gomez and Morticia Addams (Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones) first met. There, she’ll work to solve a killing spree, learn more about her own abilities, and try to sort out her friendships with her fellow students.
You know, just normal teenage things.
