Respawn has released a new trailer for Fight or Fright, Apex Legends‘ first Season 3: Meltdown limited-time event. The event will see the return of Kings Canyon, the addition of a new mode, an assortment of Halloween-themed skins, and a possible teaser for a brand-new character.

The trailer begins with Wraith and Pathfinder under fire while in Kings Canyon. Seeing a portal, Pathfinder tries to escape into it, jumping through before Wraith can fully warn him that the portal doesn’t belong to her. Pathfinder ends up in a nightmarish version of Kings Canyon, one overseen by a shadow-like entity. Pathfinder teams up with the Halloween versions of his fellow Legends to escape, but the foes they each defeat rise up as living shadows that continue to hunt the Legends down. The trailer ends with Pathfinder ultimately finding his way back to the portal and returning to the normal Kings Canyon.

What Pathfinder stumbled into is Shadowfall, the new mode tied to Fight or Fright. For a limited-time, you’ll be able to drop in this solo mode that takes place in the nightmare Kings Canyon. If you’re killed, your deathbox will spawn killer spiders and you’ll drop onto the map again as a member of the Shadow Squad–beings with enhanced speed and melee damage. Your goal is to survive until there are only 10 players left, and then work together to flee to the dropship. If you die and return as a member of the Shadow Squad, you can still win by working with your fellow shadows to kill off the remaining survivors before they can escape to the dropship.

During the event, Halloween-themed items will be available for you to unlock as well. Most are skins which–as seen in the trailer–dress up the Legends in Halloween costumes. You can unlock a cowboy costume for Mirage, for instance, or a spooky scarecrow outfit for Bloodhound. If you happen to unlock all of the new epic and legendary cosmetics, you’ll be rewarded with Lifeline’s heirloom.

Though it’s not confirmed, the Fight or Fright trailer may also further tease Apex Legends’ twelfth playable character. The shadow-like entity that is overseeing Shadowfall has a similar outline to Revenant–a character first seen in Season 3: Meltdown’s launch trailer, revealed in further detail via a leaked screenshot alongside new character Crypto, and then officially teased in a tweet by Respawn level designer Alex Graner. Revenant’s rumored ultimate ability is Death Recall, allowing them to use a totem to resuscitate squadmates without the need to retrieve their respawn banner–which may explain how the overseer is able to keep the Legends from fully dying in Shadowfall.

Fight or Fright will continue from October 15 to November 5.

A trailer for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 1 has leaked, and features what appears to be a brand new map, boats, a new progression system, and more, according to a report by PC Gamer.

The trailer was originally posted by the Twitter account SkinTrackerCom before being removed. Neither IGN nor PC Gamer was able to confirm where the video was originally obtained, but IGN has reached out to SkinTracker for comment.

As for the trailer itself, there’s a lot to parse through.

Most notably, it appears we are in fact getting a new map, as none of the areas displayed in the trailer are recognizable from any season of the original map.

Another Overwatch seasonal event is scary-close. Blizzard has announced that Halloween Terror, its yearly October event filled with spooky skins and events, is coming on October 15.

The teaser didn’t give much information beyond the date, though it did give us a cute look at what Zenyatta apparently does when no one’s looking. Past Halloween Terror events have included tons of new seasonal skins, a limited-time loot box bundle to collect them, and the continuing story of Dr. Junkenstein. Last year introduced Sombra as the Bride of Junkenstein.

All of this will come right alongside the launch of the Nintendo Switch version of the game, which we recently got hands-on time with. Alessandro Fillari wrote that it’s “a great way for players, new and lapsed alike, to revisit the game in a more fresh and laid back way.”

The event may be overshadowed, though, by another incident from outside Overwatch entirely. After Blizzard made the controversial decision to punish a Hearthstone player after expressing his views on unrest in Hong Kong, some fans were calling to boycott Blizzard entirely. Overwatch fans rallied to help by attempting to turn Mei, the game’s only Chinese character, into a symbol of the boycott. Blizzard has since rescinded most of the punishment.

Fortnite players believe that they’ve cracked the code posed by the mysterious numbers displayed by the black hole. The hole and the numbers are now the only elements available following the destruction of the game’s island map.

In the hours since Fortnite’s map exploded at the end of Season 10, the sole remaining aspect of the game – a black hole – has been displaying a series of numbers. That series has now begun to repeat itself, and fans on Reddit have determined that the full sequence is 11 146 15 62 / 87 14 106 2 150 / 69 146 15 36 / 2 176 8 160 65. But what do those numbers mean?
