About the game:

Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood is a bundle of the classic titles, but re-formatted to feature modern game elements. Experience two of the greatest games from the Castlevania series as you make your way to the top of Dracula’s castle as Richter Belmont – descendant of the famed clan of vampire hunters – in Rondo of Blood, or take the leading role as Dracula’s son Alucard in Symphony of the Night. Enjoy the unique world, the epic classical music, and the side-scrolling action in Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood, exclusively for the PlayStation4.

Fun facts about Symphony of the Night:

• The Jewel Knuckles are a powerful and quick weapon you can normally get in the Outer Wall once Alucard gains Form of Mist, however, you can get it as well as the Mirror Cuirass early. Once you enter the Outer Wall, go down and to the left to fight an Armor Lord. In the room he’s guarding, destroy the wall for some food and hold down for about 20 seconds to be transported to the room with the items.
• After completing the game, a few New Game bonuses will be unlocked if you enter the name RICHTER, AXEARMOR or X-X!V’’Q before starting a new game.

Fun facts about Rondo of Blood:

• After defeating a boss, don’t think you’re safe yet! Bosses have one final desperation attack that can still get you after you take out their HP meter.

Epic has begun teasing an apparent Halloween event for Fortnite, titled Fortnitemares. The event will kick off this Wednesday, October 24 and last through Monday, November 26. It promises “spooky rewards” for completing special Fortnitemares challenges, and uses a variation on the Season 6 theme, “Darkness has risen.”

One such reward could be a skin that Epic appears to be teasing through Twitter. Three images have been revealed so far, and at least two of them look like they fit together like a puzzle. The Fortnitemares rewards will probably go through both the Battle Royale and Save the World modes, since Epic has announced that you can win a couple of skins by logging onto Save the World during the event.

That same announcement gave word that the Save the World mode, which had been planned for release as a free-to-play mode this year, won’t be switching to free after all. That means to earn any Fortnitemare rewards you’ll need to be a founder, but the studio is offering those packages at half-price.

The whole season is fairly creepy, and its biggest Battle Pass reward is the Dire Wolf skin that changes you into more and more of a werewolf as you level it up. We’ve also seen a slow drip of special Halloween skins. For more Halloween events, check out our Halloween roundup.

Wonder Woman was a breakout critical success for the often uneven DC cinematic universe, and its sequel set in the 1980s–Wonder Woman 1984–will take the character into the Cold War. We’ll have to wait a little longer for the return of Princess Diana, though, as the film has been pushed back to 2020.

Star Gal Gadot, who plays the title character, announced the delay via Twitter. Rather than its planned November 1, 2019 date, it will now release on June 5, 2020. Gadot calls this date its “rightful home,” presumably a reference to its placement among tent-pole summer movies rather than a fall release.

That was subsequently confirmed in a statement WB shared with GameSpot. “We had tremendous success releasing the first Wonder Woman film during the summer so when we saw an opportunity to take advantage of the changing competitive landscape, we did,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution. “This move lands the film exactly where it belongs.”

No other reason was given for the delay other than the “changing landscape” Gadot mentioned. That could mean that next fall is simply getting too crowded or that space has opened up in the following summer. DC has scheduled its Joker movie for October 2019, so keeping Wonder Woman 1984 in the November slot could have overlapped with it.

So far we haven’t seen a trailer for WW84, so details are still scarce. Patty Jenkins is returning to direct, and Chris Pine is coming back in some capacity as Steve Trevor. We also know that Kristen Wiig has been cast as one of Wonder Woman’s most iconic nemeses, Cheetah.

Fortnite has exploded into wild popularity thanks to its free-to-play Battle Royale mode, thanks in part to its availability as a free-to-play game. But Fortnite’s original Save the World mode will also eventually transition to a free-to-play model. However, those plans have been pushed out of 2018, as developer Epic Games says it needs to progress on some reworks and additional features before it makes the switch.

In an update about its Save the World mode, Epic suggests that the popularity of Fortnite as a whole means it needs to be prepared for a large influx of new users once STW goes free for all.

“We’re working on a broad set of features, reworks, and backend system scaling we believe are needed to go free-to-play,” it said. “Scaling up for the legions of player heroes who will be joining the fight is key to providing an excellent experience. This applies to all of our players, old and new, so we’re taking the time to get this right.”

If you just can’t wait for it to go free-to-play, Epic is hosting a 50% off sale for the Standard, Deluxe, Standard Deluxe, and Limited Founder’s Packs starting later this week. That means that your cheapest option will be $20 soon, until it goes free. Founders will also get a Brainiac Jonesy and Skull Ranger Ramirez for free if they log on during the Fortnitemares Halloween event.

The update also details a big change to the Hero System to give you more flexibility in the loadouts, along with several front-end UI improvements.

The cooperative PvE Save the World mode was the original pitch for Fortnite, and has remained in development as the free-to-play PvP Battle Royale has exploded in popularity. It’s fair to say the free version of the game has overshadowed its original vision, especially since the PvE isn’t available for some versions, including the Nintendo Switch or mobile games. But at least some of its large audience is likely to jump into Save the World once it’s free, so Epic is looking to be prepared.
