The build-up to the Halloween editions has begun, and Pokémon GO has certainly come out swinging, but it’s a miss for us. The Arcane features have started to make an appearance in the LoL world, and we’re excited to see what else is in store. For all this information and more, keep reading. 

Pokémon Go Halloween event ghosting players

Everyone had high hopes for this one, but unfortunately this spooky edition kept ghosting its players and not in a fun way. Only one day after the official launch, the new Halloween upgrade to the map started disappearing, making players wonder if they’d imagined it all. The map would randomly dip in and out, and the spooky-themed decor was seldom there. The official report is that the decor and map were all removed due to certain bugs and crashes within the system. Read about the official statement here.

The Arcane bonuses have launched in League of Legends, and here’s one update you don’t want to miss. Arcane’s very own Ambessa has queue up for a match and is joining the game, and we’ve found out all of her special abilities. To read about them in detail, read here. She’s a 1v1 specialist and is featured in Arcane’s season one, but that’s not all we know. Her combat style has been crafted in a special way, separating her from the rest and making her a star feature piece. To read more about Ambessa Medarda, click here. 

OK, adding tanks to Skyrim is definitely a sign someone has to stop modders.

Skyrim is known for its obscure moves in the gaming world, but this one is something truly special. Albeit a fairly buggy game, it still reigns strong in the gaming community and has a pretty substantial fan base, a lot thanks to modding. There’s a new fan-made addition in which players can partake in a tank battle, and it’s pretty hardcore. This new Skyrim mod is pretty cool, and here’s what some people had to say about it after the release. 

Pre-show canceled for Assassin's Creed fans

Due to further setbacks for the highly anticipated yet slightly controversial Assassins Creed Shadows, players will only be able to access the game when it is officially released in February 2025, with no early access. There will also be no season pass after official statements were made by Ubisoft. The price has dropped (read more about that here), and it also seems like this all has something to do with the new Ubisoft strategy. After Star Wars Outlaws, they’re trying to cover themselves for another potentially underwhelming launch.

The new Croxel game, Tormenture, has hit the shelves, and the reviews are looking good. This nostalgic arcade haunting-themed game is a hit and definitely worth checking out. “Their careful puzzle design manages to shine past its attention-soaking veneer.”

Other Reviews worth checking out are:

• Yakuza Kiwami (8/10) “an admirably done port of a wonderful game.”

• Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 (7/10) “Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake ultimately did a decent job of bringing back a classic series entry by including newer features from the more modern entries.”

• Wilmot Works It Out (8.5/10) “We really like the premise of Wilmot Works It Out, and don’t mind a shorter experience!”

Upcoming releases (week of Oct. 28) 

• Red Dead Redemption PC (Oct. 29)

• Life is Strange: Double Exposure (Oct. 29)

• Farmagia (Nov. 1)
