Remnant: From The Ashes – $32 ($40)

Remnant: From The Ashes is the latest from Darksiders III developer Gunfire Games. It may be reductive to call this Dark Souls with guns, but it certainly takes a lot of inspiration from that series. Expect quite the challenge, as you team up with up to two friends to take on challenging bosses and hordes of enemies.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition – $15 ($40)

One of the best games of all time is currently discounted to $15, and that includes both of its expansions–Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine. GameSpot scored it a 10/10 in its The Witcher 3 review, so if you haven’t played it yet, now’s as great a time as any.

The entire Dark Souls series is discounted in the Shocktober Sale, including last year’s remastering of the original game. It’s called a modern classic for a reason, so if you’ve ever been curious, now’s a good time to try it out on the cheap.

Dead by Daylight: Special Edition – $15 ($30)

Two months after its release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, developer Deck13 Interactive has unveiled The Surge 2‘s season pass. The season pass, available to purchase for $20 USD, features content drops through January 2020, including additional weapons, a new story expansion, and more.

Arriving first are 13 additional weapons, available in November. December gifts three gear sets for your exo-rig, giving you the option of a completely new look. The season pass culminates with a new story expansion in January. The story content, titled “The Kraken,” takes place in an aircraft-carrier and introducing new enemies and bosses. Deck13 shared a roadmap with glimpses of everything headed to The Surge 2 in the coming months.

The Surge 2 features a prominent From Software design element: online communication. In The Surge 2, you can leave messages for online players to discover. And when compared to 2017’s The Surge, the sequel does combat better in almost every way.

In our Surge 2 review, we said, “Story and sidequests aside, however, The Surge 2 is absolutely worth the effort when the combat is taken in isolation. Not only does it pack a punch, but it also channels plenty of depth in its limb targeting and deflection systems, and is ably supported by a genuinely varied collection of weapons and potential character builds.”

The Fortnitemares 2019 event is now live in Fortnite: Battle Royale, bringing a new Storm King limited-time mode to the game, along with a related set of challenges. Many of these missions are tied to the aforementioned LTM, while a handful are more obviously Halloween-inspired, like destroying haunted household furniture and leaping out of hideouts when unsuspecting players are nearby.

One of the trickier Storm King challenges asks you to search chests at a haunted forest, a ghost town, and a spooky farm. The challenge itself is easy enough to complete, but the hard part is knowing where to go, especially if you’re not very familiar with Fortnite’s new map yet. If you fall in that camp, don’t worry; we show you what to do below.

Where Are The Haunted Forest, Ghost Town, And Spooky Farm Locations?

As the challenge states, you need to search chests at three specific areas. The haunted forest and spooky farm are simple enough to find; the former is Weeping Woods, while the later is Frenzy Farm–both named locations that you can easily spot on the game’s map.

The ghost town, however, is a bit harder to track down. Unlike the other two areas, it isn’t a named location, so you can’t obviously see it just by looking at a map of the island. For this one, you’ll need to go to quadrant G1, in the top portion of the island. The town is northwest of Steamy Stacks, and it’s received a ghostly makeover for this event. You can see where all three areas are located on the map below.

How To Complete The Challenge

Once you know where the locations are, all you need to do is head to all three areas and search one chest in each. Do that and you’ll clear the challenge, netting you 30,000 XP for your troubles. If you need more help, we walk you through how to complete the challenge in the video below.

Chapter 2, Season 1 is slated to run until December 12. If you need help completing any other challenges from this season, be sure to check out our ongoing Fortnite Chapter 2 challenges roundup for all of our other maps and guides.

It’s officially spooky season in Fortnite!

Ubisoft has revealed in a blog post that it intends to introduce a number of large-scale improvements to Ghost Recon Breakpoint, including a “more radical and immersive version” of the game that will focus on player choice and an authentic military experience.

“We are aware that some of the design choices made have caused polarized reactions and discussions regarding the direction taken by the Ghost Recon franchise,” explains the blog. “Some of you would like our new survival mechanics to have more impact on your experience, while others dislike the tiered loot progression we have added.”

As teased, Fortnite‘s Fortnitemares event has returned. The Halloween-themed festivities are now underway on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices, and they include new limited-time modes, along with a new set of challenges to complete and some devilish skins and other cosmetics to earn.

Headlining this year’s Fortnitemares event are three special LTMs. The first is called Storm King, and it has players taking on the titular super boss. This mode, however, is currently disabled while Epic addresses an issue. Additionally, the developer has highlighted two community-made LTMs: Gun Fright and Mansion of Power.

Alongside the LTMs is a set of Storm King challenges. These are, fittingly, Halloween-themed, and they have you destroying haunted household furniture, searching chests in a ghost town, and leaping out of hideouts when unsuspecting players are nearby. Complete the challenges and you’ll unlock Halloween-themed cosmetics, including a special Storm Sail umbrella.

Finally, Epic has added the Cryptic Curse Bundle to the in-game store, which includes the Phantom Outfit and Time Keeper Back Bling. You can unlock different styles for both of these cosmetics by completing the Cryptic Curse challenges. Fortnitemares runs until November 4. You can read more about the event on the official Fortnite website.

Epic kicked off Chapter 2 of Fortnite earlier this month, and it made a ton of changes to the hit battle royale game. Not only are there new mechanics like fishing and weapon upgrading, the map has also been revamped, and a variety of new challenges are already available. If you need help completing those, be sure to check out our ongoing Fortnite Chapter 2 challenges roundup for our maps and guides on this season’s trickiest missions.

After an hour-long tutorial, Doraemon Story of Seasons has me running out of battery faster than my Switch. It’s been 62 minutes, and I’ve barely touched a thumbstick. Soon, this licensed farm life spin-off will have me familiarly watering crops, collecting bugs, and rearing livestock in a farming sim that borrows from both Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. But first, I have to get through the boring part.

Doraemon, one of the best-selling manga in the world, has come together with Marvelous, the original developer behind the Harvest Moon farming series. The crossover is as unusual as it sounds. What do a sleepy 10-year-old and a robot cat from the 22nd century have to do with farming? As it turns out, not much! The characters are lost in an alternate dimension, and the only way they can get home is to befriend the townsfolk. There’s just one problem: this town puts its children to work, and I’m not talking about mowing the lawn.

Note: this is a mostly spoiler-free advance review of Excalibur #1, which releases on Wednesday, October 30.

Another week brings another new addition to Marvel’s growing Dawn of X relaunch. This time it’s Excalibur up to bat, with writer Tini Howard and artist Marcus To crafting a new take on a familiar X-Men-adjacent franchise. Excalibur #1 isn’t quite the home run Marauders #1 was last week, but it does find similar success in terms of offering readers something that’s both very different from Jonathan Hickman’s work while still feeling like a cohesive addition to the line.

Unlike Marauders, which has basically nothing to do with the original band of mutant killers employed by Mister Sinister, Excalibur does dabble in some of the expected tropes. This series is heavily centered around the Braddock family in general and Psylocke in particular. It’s also heavily steeped in the mythology of Camelot and Otherworld and even features Morgan le Fay as a major antagonist. But in other ways, the new series is a major deviation from the norm. Most of the old Excalibur mainstays are ignored in favor of a new team that includes iconic X-Men characters like Gambit, Rogue and Jubilee. And that’s to say nothing of the central role played by Apocalypse.
