    Haunt in Style — HorrorVale: Deadluxe Edition Arrives October 31 on All Consoles, Packed with New Content

    Halloween just got a massive upgrade.

    Indie studio Telesphore has announced that HorrorVale: Deadluxe Edition — the definitive version of the beloved monster-filled RPG — launches October 31, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. This isn’t just a port: it’s a full-blown overhaul with new quests, characters, areas, and a stunning visual refresh, all arriving on the spookiest day of the year.

    Welcome Back to HorrorVale

    HorrorVale first won hearts on PC as a charming, retro-styled RPG where you play as Alma, a young witch who sets out to uncover the truth behind a mysterious disappearance in her monster-inhabiting hometown. The game blends classic turn-based combat, a colourful cast of undead and supernatural allies, and a delightfully spooky-but-wholesome tone — equal parts EarthBound, Undertale, and every monster movie you ever loved as a kid.

    The Deadluxe Edition builds on that foundation with enough new material to feel like a fresh adventure, even for returning players.

    What’s New in Deadluxe?

    This edition is packed with upgrades across the board:

    • Enhanced Visuals — completely redrawn character sprites, richer backgrounds, improved lighting and effects, and widescreen support that makes the world feel bigger and more alive than ever
    • New Story Chapters — untold tales from the valley, including side quests that dive deeper into your party members’ backstories and a mysterious new thread that unfolds after the main campaign
    • New Playable Characters — recruit additional monsters to your team, each with unique abilities, combat styles, and personal arcs
    • Explorable New Areas — venture into previously unseen corners of the valley, from a mist-shrouded cemetery district to a sprawling underground market where creatures trade in rare and curious goods
    • Rebalanced Combat — refined encounters, new skills and combos, and optional difficulty settings so everyone from casual explorers to tactical masters can enjoy the ride
    • Audio Remaster — remixed and expanded soundtrack, plus improved sound design that brings every creak, cackle, and cheer to life

    Monster Friends, Big Hearts

    At its core, HorrorVale is about community — and finding courage in the most unexpected places. Your party includes a friendly werewolf, a dapper skeleton, a shy ghost, and more — each with their own quirks, fears, and strengths. The Deadluxe Edition deepens those bonds with expanded dialogue, character-specific side stories, and moments that will make you laugh and care even more.

    Combat is turn-based with a twist: timing-based inputs boost your attacks and reduce damage, keeping every encounter engaging without slowing the story down. Build your team, mix and match abilities, and turn every battle into a chance to show off your monster squad’s best moves.

  • Tricks, Treats & Terrors — Scary Baboon Unleashes Spooktacular Halloween Update

    Tricks, Treats & Terrors — Scary Baboon Unleashes Spooktacular Halloween Update

    The howling begins soon. Developer Gorilla Games has confirmed Scary Baboon is getting a massive Halloween update, landing exclusively on Meta Quest. Prepare for a bone-chilling new monster, a ghoulish co-op event, the game’s very first limited Tech Tree, and a mountain of seasonal gear, cosmetics, and pets — all just in time for the spookiest time of the year.

    What’s Haunting the Jungle This Halloween?

    This isn’t just a reskin — it’s a full-blown takeover. Every corner of the jungle is getting dressed up for the season, with four headline additions that change how you play:

    New Monster — The Hollow Howler

    A towering, wraith-like predator that emerges only under the pale moonlight. Faster than anything you’ve faced before, and deadlier too:

    • Phases in and out of visibility to ambush unsuspecting players
    • Emits a disorienting howl that disrupts communication and slows movement
    • Can summon spectral minions to swarm your squad
    • Drops rare seasonal materials needed to craft exclusive gear

    “You’ll hear it long before you see it. And by then, it may already be too late.” — Gorilla Games

    Co-op Event — Trick or Treat

    Grab up to three friends and hit the trails in this brand-new seasonal mode:

    • Special Halloween-themed maps packed with pumpkins, fog, and spooky decor
    • Two paths at every turn — Trick: fight harder enemies for better rewards; Treat: take on easier challenges to collect loot faster
    • Shared progress — everyone in the squad earns rewards, no one gets left behind
    • Limited time only — event vanishes when the clock strikes midnight on 1 November

    First-Ever Limited Tech Tree

    Unlock exclusive abilities and upgrades that won’t be around forever:

    Branch
    Moonlight — glow-in-the-dark tools, night-vision goggles, silent movement boosts
    Ward — temporary shields, faster revive speeds, group buffs
    Hunt — increased damage against the Hollow Howler, trap mastery, stealth attacks

    Important: This Tech Tree resets after the event — unlock everything you can before it’s gone.

    Seasonal Collection — Spook Up Your Style

    The biggest drop yet — over 50 items arriving just for Halloween:

    • Weapons — Candy Corn Blaster, Ghost Grenade, Pumpkin Launcher, and more
    • Items — Ectoplasm Medkits, Bat Wings Glider, Lantern Light Source
    • Cosmetics — Vampire fangs, mummy wraps, witch hats, ghostly trails, glowing eyes
    • Pets — Black cat, will-o’-the-wisp, tiny skeleton companion — each follows you and grants a small passive bonus
