Poncle announced a free 1.14 Vampire Survivors update adding new stages, characters, and online multiplayer, as well as a free DLC expansion based on the indie game Balatro called Ante Chamber. The Ode to Castlevania expansion also got 16 more characters, 13 more weapon unions, three more weapons, 12 new songs, and a new adventure. The add-on and updates are on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices now, and they'll be on the Switch on October 31, 2025. This comes after the Friends of Jimbo update added card cosmetics based on Vampire Survivors to the other game for free back in August 2024.
In the case of the Ante Chamber expansion, it features playable characters and weapons inspired by Jokers, packs, and mechanics from Balatro. We can earn Canio, Chicot, Jimbo, and Perkeo as new avatars. Meanwhile, the confirmed weapons ahead of their evolutions are the Celestial Booster, Fibonacci Seltzer, Gros Michel, and Infernolatro. The Ante Chamber is also the name of the new stage we'll explore.
Here's the trailer for the Vampire Survivors Balatro Ante Chamber DLC expansion.
As for the 1.14 Vampire Survivors update, here's the official list of what's in that patch:
Poncle also update Vampire Survivors official wiki
Vampire Survivors is available for the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and the free Balatro Ante Chamber DLC expansion and 1.14 are live on every platform other than the Switch now.

Here are all the teaser images Bandai Namco released on social media so far. In the case of the playable Tales of Xillia Remastered characters, there's a quote attributed to them alongside their official art, while the other members of the cast feature a description explaining who they are.
Bandai Namco already noted its commitment to Tales of remaster projects even before this latest one. In a Famitsu interview, it teased that two more are in development. During that, it was suggested that Tales of Xillia 2 is in line to return.
Tales of Xillia Remastered will come to the Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on October 30, 2025. The original game appeared on the PS3.

In a mass culling of jobs, Amazon is set to reduce staff by around 14,000 in the very near future, and its gaming departments have not been spared, with the company stating that it has "made the difficult decision to halt a significant amount of [its] first-party AAA game development work."
This comes days after the company launched its Luna gaming service, which offers members free PC games each month. Steve Boom—vice president of Audio, Twitch, and Games—added that the company will be "making significant role reductions in our studios in Irvine and San Diego, as well as [its] central publishing team."
This could very well mean the upcoming Lord of the Rings MMO, currently in development, may never grace our screens. This is also after the relatively successful launches of New World Aeternum and Throne and Liberty, both of which now hold only a fraction of their peak player base on Steam.
It's unclear at this point what this might mean for the future of these established games and how they'll be impacted by the layoffs, but we can more than likely expect far less future content. It's also unclear what will become of the Tomb Raider game in development at Amazon.
What is clear is how in a public blog on the company's website, it posted an update on these events. And yes, you guessed it, AI was mentioned. How big a role AI will play in Amazon's future game development is unclear, but it definitely has a place at Amazon, judging from the blog post.
Update on Oct. 28 at 4pm CT: In light of the layoff news, New World: Aeternum has announced that it will no longer receive content updates and will effectively be shut down eventually. The recent Nighthaven release has been made free to all players, and the studio says its "intention is to keep servers operating through 2026."
The FAQ on the game's website also states that the devs will "provide a minimum of six months' notice before making any changes that impact your ability to play New World: Aeternum."

Ultimate Scream Team 2 players are coming to FC 26 Ultimate Team very soon, and you can expect some fantastic cards hidden in packs.
These cards, like Team 1, will be heavily influenced by Halloween and will get boosts on full-moon nights. So far, EA Sports has remained tight-lipped about the cards that are coming to the second team. However, we already have confirmation about the release date, and certain leaks are also likely to appear before the full launch.
FC 26 Ultimate Scream 2 release countdown
The Ultimate Team 2 cards will be available as soon as Team 1 gets removed. The new cards will be added to packs on Friday, Oct. 31. The following countdown will expire once the new cards are in packs.
The countdown is based on the following timings. It's the usual routine that EA Sports follows every Friday when it comes to releasing a new batch of promo cards in packs.
If you have stored packs in your club inventory, you can also open them to find promo cards, potentially. We should also find new promo cards as part of SBCs and objectives. Unlike items from packs, you won't have to rely on luck to find them.
FC 26 Ultimate Scream 2 players (leaks)
As of writing, we have received the first set of leaks.
We should get more leaks as we get closer to the release date. We will duly add them to the guide once they appear on social media. EA Sports could also tease us some of the upcoming cards, so lookout for them as well.

A whole new battlefield has arrived. Welcome to Fort Lyndon, the battle royale map in Battlefield REDSEC.
When you drop into Fort Lyndon, you will need to be geared up to take on the enemies around you, on top of the wall of fire that is ever-encroaching and looking to kill you in one hit. That's why you need to be equipped with the knowledge (and equipment) for the best guns and loadouts in Battlefield REDSEC.
The Battlefield will be evolving over time, but here are our picks for the best guns to use in REDSEC depending on your class.
Battlefield REDSEC weapons meta
To get your custom loadout weapons, you can earn a Custom Weapon Drop during a match or find them as they will sometimes land around the map periodically in each game. But first, you need to find some ground loot to keep yourself prepared to deal with oncoming attackers.
In REDSEC, just like BF6, weapons are not restricted to your class, but each class specializes in different weapons. This means that the best weapon to use depends on what class you're using.
Complete Battlefield REDSEC weapons tier list
REDSEC offers all 45 weapons that are also present in Battlefield 6. However, the meta for the battle royale will be different due to the nature of the mode itself. That said, you'll once again want to use really meta choices to defeat your enemies and become the last team standing.
To separate the weapons, I have used four tiers.
The table below has every weapon classified according to its respective meta rating.
The only category of weapons missing from the table above is the Handgun. You can use any that you find, and they will hardly make much of a difference in my experience. In REDSEC, just like BF6, weapons are not restricted to your class, but each class specializes in different weapons. This means that the best weapon to use depends on what class you're using.
Best Assault loadout in Battlefield REDSEC
The Assault class is perfect for opening up new paths on the battlefield. With the Assault class, you can reach areas that will otherwise remain inaccessible, setting up new strategic benefits for yourself and your squad. Your gadgets also work well with most weapons inside the game, which acts as a bonus.
Best Engineer loadout in Battlefield REDSEC
With REDSEC getting a tank, it becomes pretty important for the Engineer to take all kinds of enemy vehicles down. The Engineer has gadgets and abilities that do bonus damage to vehicles, including tanks. If you're uncomfortable with default weapon choices, just switch to an LMG.
Best Support loadout in Battlefield REDSEC
The Support is a powerful class, as you can provide your team with more ammo and armor. You will often become the difference between your squad running out of supplies and having enough bullets to shred the enemies. Your proficiency with the LMGs means that it's your job to lay down suppression fire.
Best Recon loadout in Battlefield REDSEC
The Recon's primary role is to hit from a distance with the help of sniper rifles. Your gadgets are also focused on creating a veil so that you can stay hidden for a longer period of time. In REDSEC, your primary task is to scout the enemies from a distance and mark them for your team.
