With everyone’s favorite non-holiday holiday looming, 2K and Gearbox have confirmed that its Halloween-themed DLC will be available in time to celebrate. The DLC titled TK Baha’s Bloody Harvest will be released on October 22.

Beyond the appropriately timed Halloween theme, the DLC is the first of the Headhunter add-ons, all of which offer a new area, a few missions, and culminate with a boss fight. As with all the Borderlands 2 content, they can be played solo or with up to three others.

In TK Baha’s Bloody Harvest, you will collect pieces of a key that will lead you to a showdown with the Pumpkin Kingpin. The DLC will also feature plenty of “candy,” which award you with temporary stat increases.

For a closer look at the DLC, check out our preview from our recent tour of Gearbox Studios. And if you are curious about the making of it, check out our interview with the devs behind it.

The DLC won’t be part of the season pass, but it will run you just $2.99.

Silent Hill 2 still doesn’t have a release date, but you can play a free spinoff game now

We got a new trailer for Bloober Team's long-awaited Silent Hill 2 remake during today's PlayStation State of Play stream, which highlighted the horror game's reworked combat. While it still doesn't have a release date, publisher Konami did reveal an entirely new spinoff, Silent Hill: The Short Message, which is available now.

The announcement trailer for the entirely new Silent Hill game, which is officially available and free of play on the PlayStation 5 as of this exact moment, depicts the series' notoriously creepy visuals and a storyline involving a woman named Maya contacting the protagonist, Anita, on a smartphone as the player is drawn deeper into The Short Message's dreary, graffiti-covered, and extremely haunted apartment complex.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more

Senua stares at a burning tree in Hellblade 2.

Given how impressive Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was, it seemed inevitable that there would be a sequel. The game, despite being made independently by Ninja Theory, blew even the highest-budget games on the market out of the water in terms of graphical fidelity and storytelling. Microsoft realized this potential as well and purchased the studio to provide a bigger budget to the team for the eventual sequel and to secure it as a console exclusive for its then-unreleased Xbox Series X and S systems.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was one of the earliest games shown off for the Xbox Series X and S, and was even initially thought to be one of the system's launch titles. That didn't come to pass, but the team has taken that extra time to craft this sequel into something that looks to be even more impressive than the original. Between the first Game Awards event where the game was announced and the latest footage we've seen, we have a very solid understanding of the important details surrounding this sequel. We have all the information you need to know about Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl gets final release date after arduous development

GSC Game World's highly anticipated S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will finally come out this year. The shooter is set to launch on September 5 on Xbox Series X/S and PC.

First announced in 2018 and publicly shown off in 2021, this survival horror shooter has been a long time coming. A much-demanded sequel to a PC cult classic, the development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has been arduous, mainly because of how Russia's invasion of Ukraine impacted the studio. Initially slated for April 2022, the game has been delayed several times. GSC Game World had settled on promising a Q1 2024 release window, but an announcement on Tuesday morning explained that it needed one final delay to get the game over the finish line.
