Just in time for Halloween, Dead by Daylight is getting a new survivor next month in October with the Hour of the Witch content drop. Mikaela Reid joins the ranks of the survivors as a witch! Reid writes horror stories and, not surprisingly, loves Halloween. What perks will she bring to the table? Good question. A better question – will her perks help her survive against Pinhead? Like all other survivors, Reid can be slotted with any perks to play – unlike killers that come with core signature abilities tied to their character. 

Check out the Hour of the Witch Mikaela Reid trailer below to get a look at the latest addition to the asymmetrical survivor horror game. While I enjoy playing characters with the gaudiest outfits when I play survivor, it's often not the smartest idea. I tend to attract a lot of killer attention, and I'm a much better killer than I am a survivor. Reid has some serious style to bring to the game and is likely to get some super cool skin cosmetics as time goes on, as well.

Obviously, holidays like Halloween are likely to come with all kinds of cool things for games like Dead by Daylight. What do you expect?

Night School Studio is the team behind the beloved adventures games Oxenfree and Afterparty. But after seven years of working as an independent studio, the developer is being acquired by streaming giant Netflix. This is surprising but not a complete shock. Netflix has been working to break into the gaming industry for some time. However, this is the first time Netflix has outright acquired a game studio. 

In an official blog post, Night School Studio's founder and creative director Sean Krankel said, "Night School wants to stretch our narrative and design aspirations across distinctive, original games with heart. Netflix gives film, TV, and now game makers an unprecedented canvas to create and deliver excellent entertainment to millions of people. Our explorations in narrative gameplay and Netflix's track record of supporting diverse storytellers was such a natural pairing. It felt like both teams came to this conclusion instinctively. Of course, it's a surreal honor to be the first games studio to join Netflix! Not only do we get to keep doing what we do, how we like to do it, but we get a front-row seat on the biggest entertainment platform in the world."

Krankel went on to assure fans that Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is still in the works. It's worth noting that this isn't the first time the two companies have worked together; several years ago, Night School and Telltale were working on a Stranger Things game for Netflix, but that game was never released

In our review for the original Oxenfree, Kimberley Wallace said, "I constantly wanted to see where it was going and where my choices would lead. Night School Studio clearly wasn't afraid to experiment and try some different and interesting things with presentation in regards to a narrative-based, choice-driven game. As much as I loved parts of the overall experience, others let me down. Even so, I enjoyed learning about these characters and seeing them grow through my actions." 

While we're excited to see how Oxenfree II turns out, we're equally interested to see what Night School cooks up next for Netflix. What do you think it will be?

Streaming giant Netflix has acquired Night School Studio, a developer founded by former Telltale Games employees that released Oxenfree, an intriguing supernatural mystery game, and Afterparty, a barhopping comedy journey through Hell. Though now a Netflix subsidiary, Night School Studio confirmed that Oxenfree 2's…

     Two semi-classic adventure games are free-to-keep on Steam for a limited time

Okay, look. Not every old game needs to have the 'classic' label applied, or get subjected to lavish remasters and revivals. The Syberia series gained an impressive stature among fans of adventure games largely because they came out in a time when there weren't a lot of point-and-clicks to enjoy - and that's fine. But I take as much joy as anyone in poking at the games of yesteryear, and now you can grab the first two Syberias at an unbeatable price.

Syberia and Syberia II are both free on Steam at those respective links. You have until September 29 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST to claim them, but once you do, they will remain in your library forever, just as with any game you'd purchase with money.

Syberia 3 is also currently on sale at 85% off, though it is not especially well-regarded by players, owing to both technical and gameplay issues. The fourth game, Syberia: The World Before, is prepping to launch this December.

     Netflix buys the Oxenfree devs – they'll

Netflix wants to get into gaming, and what better way for the streaming service to make its mark than by picking up the studio which basically made a Stranger Things game before Stranger Things even existed? Yes, Netflix has purchased Night School Studio, the developer behind narrative-driven adventures including Oxenfree and Afterparty.

In a blog post, the devs say "we get to keep doing what we do, how we like to do it" under the new partnership, and say Netflix has "shown the utmost care for protecting our studio culture and creative vision". Night School will "keep making Oxenfree II. We'll keep cooking up new game worlds."

As for what Netflix's games will look like, well… we don't know. In its own announcement, Netflix says "these games will all be included as part of your Netflix membership - all with no ads and no in-app purchases". (No word yet on whether Oxenfree II will also be available on traditional platforms, either.)

     Echoes Of The Eye New Location 1You're finally ready to explore new lands in Outer Wilds' brand new expansion, Echoes of the Eye, which features a new location. But this is Outer Wilds we're talking about, and it's not exactly the most obvious thing in the world. Sure, you're probably going to want to figure this out on your own without help — it's not too hard or anything. But I'm going to break down exactly how to reach the expansion's new location. Don't worry, I'll ease into it step by step based on the game's breadcrumbs, so I won't spoil the whole thing right off the bat. The first step, which is the only thing the game deigns to tell you, is that there's a new museum exhibit. Going and checking that out will lead you to see a model satellite, photos, and a model of a radio tower. This is meant to clue you in to the fact that there's now a radio tower on Timber's Hearth. I guess it was there all along? (Narrator: ...

     Echoes Of The Eye Worth It 1When it was announced that Outer Wilds was going to get an expansion, people's curiosity went through the roof. What would it be? Where would it take us? Would it be set within the existing framework? The developer, Mobius Digital, didn't really offer much in the way of clarification in the following months. To be fair, this is exactly what we'd both expect and want from the cryptic exploration game. The expansion is finally out and all of our questions are slowly being answered as we peel back the layers of this new space onion, but the question stands: is Outer Wilds – Echoes of the Eye worth it? I want to be upfront here: don't read any of this if you want to go in blank. There be spoilers ahead. Once you have Echoes of the Eye installed, the game lets you know that there's a new museum exhibit. Heading there, you notice mention of a radio tower that we've definitely never seen before. Taking a look at Timber's Hearth reveals the to...

     Splitgate UpdateSplitgate has done more than just hit a sweet spot for people wanting an experience that felt like the Halo games of yesteryear. It unites hectic first-person shooting with the use of portals to bring a little modern flavor into the mix. Spiltgate's appeal is reflected in its its Steam player count, growing from hundreds to more than 65,000 peak players in August alone. The growing population can also mean more people experiencing bugs and the need for fixes. Developer 1047 Games seems as though it's had its their ear close to the ground, as it addressed some growing concerns in a recent patch. The latest Splitgate update brings with it more than bug squashing to the teleportation-infused shooter, such as mantling and playlist improvements. One of the standout fixes highlighted in the Splitgate patch notes is an improvement to the game's mantling system. This will allow for better vertical traversal to get you into or out of combat more strategically. It promises t...

     Sphere Flying Cities Pc Steam Early AccessWhen I think of buildings or homes up in the clouds, my mind goes to childlike adventures such as Sky High with its flying school, or something like Jack and the Beanstalk. But this city builder where you get to actually create a civilization in the sky is a bit darker than the whimsy of my earlier years. In Sphere – Flying Cities, you'll be building your civilization in the clouds when the game drops on Steam. Taking place on a post-apocalyptic Earth, you're in charge of the last humans alive. In this game's Earth, developed by Hexagon Sphere Games, a meteor has stricken the planet's surface, wiping out most of humanity and making the planet uninhabitable. Humanity's last hope is by utilizing the latest anti-gravity technology and ascending to a flying city, which is everyone's last chance of survival.   High in the sky Here in Sphere – Flying Cities, much of the game revolves around the elephant in the room: the flying city.
