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:
