<p>Seasonal frights have arrived in the latest update to GTA Online. Featuring bonus rewards, exclusive cosmetics, and the return of a fan favorite game mode, there’s plenty to do as the terror descends on Los Santos.</p>



<h2>Shivers Down Your Spine</h2>



<p>With the most recent update to GTA Online Rockstar has revealed its newest event, <a href="https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/39a22k25434a53/experience-halloween-thrills-all-throughout-october-in-gta-online">Halloween Thrills</a>. Starting from October 1st and running for the whole month, players can participate in a variety of activities for increased rewards and some time limited cosmetics.</p>

<p>Firstly, there are law enforcement bonuses available all month long. Players can earn double GTA$ and RP by catching either the standard or most wanted Bail Office targets, or by completing any Dispatch Work with Vincent Effenburger. Interested players can track down those stalking the streets for a handsome profit.</p>



<p>But that’s not all. To go along with the strange happenings in Los Santos, the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival game mode has returned. Brave players can journey to the snow-swept North Yankton to fight waves of the undead in this cooperative PvE activity type. To sweeten the deal, Rockstar has given all Survivals (Alien, Cayo Perico, and Ludendorff Cemetery) worth 3 times the GTA$ and RP, so players should try to make the most of the bonuses while the event is here.</p>



<p>On top of that, Rockstar has included some timed rewards that change weekly. From October 1st to October 7th players can receive the Green Vintage Skull Mask and GTA$100,000 by completing two Bail Office bounties. The Cheerleader Massacre 3 T-Shirt is also up for grabs for any player who logs in during that week.</p>



<p>All together it looks like the Halloween season has arrived with a vengeance in GTA Online. With returning modes, huge rewards, and exclusive cosmetics, Rockstar shows no signs of slowing GTA Online support despite the approaching launch of GTA VI.</p>

Halloween Thrills Arrive in GTA Online


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Risk of Rain 2 just dropped its brand-new Hallowed Concepts DLC, but not quite in the way anyone expected. After ads teased that today&#8217;s livestream would finally reveal the DLC&#8217;s release date, fans tuned in expecting a launch announcement. Instead, the devs went one step further and released the DLC today, turning what looked like a release date reveal into a surprise launch.</p>

After the initial reception from the big reveal during RuneFest 2026, the team has ultimately decided to re-evaluate Reignited to better welcome not just new players, but veterans as well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Back to the Drawing Board </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RUNEFEST-ROADMAP-RS-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18546" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RUNEFEST-ROADMAP-RS-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RUNEFEST-ROADMAP-RS-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RUNEFEST-ROADMAP-RS-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RUNEFEST-ROADMAP-RS-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RUNEFEST-ROADMAP-RS.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the biggest criticisms and worries that have surfaced since <a href="https://all.gg/news/runescape-reignited-is-rebuilding-25-years-of-runescape/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/runescape-reignited-is-rebuilding-25-years-of-runescape/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the announcement of RuneScape Reignited</a> is that it felt like Jagex was unintentionally isolating veteran players. As it currently stands, Reignited brings brand-new realms with a fresh economy and a chance for players to start over and experience what 25 years of RuneScape has to offer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One clear oversight is that this update didn&#8217;t invest in the smaller crowd that never stopped playing. This would ultimately split the community, forcing veteran accounts to either make new characters and start from scratch on fresh realms or stay isolated from the rush of new players. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jagex has not only heard, but swiftly responded in kind. They don&#8217;t wish to exclude time, progress, or older players. So they are going backward and finding new ways to keep the community growing without harming the loyal players who have been around for years.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Coming Next</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for what&#8217;s next. The devs are doing what they absolutely do best. Hear the community. For the next week, Jagex wants to hear your feedback. Where they go from there will be based on what the players say and want.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The future of Reignited needs to be a shared belief between you and us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Right now, having seen the&nbsp;<em>potential&nbsp;</em>to grow our community, we’re exploring a heavy set of revisions to Reignited based on your feedback. But let’s be clear: this is something we want to put in front of you to see how you feel first, and every option for what we do with regards to Reignited remains firmly on the table.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re reviewing a lot of possibilities right now, but let’s run through some of our main considerations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re looking at&nbsp;<strong><u>more ways for the progress of a Veteran to remain intact and be represented meaningfully</u></strong>&nbsp;while not destabilizing the new things that make Reignited exciting for other folks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Similarly, we will focus a lot of our time on&nbsp;<strong><u>ensuring that a hard split in community does not persist&nbsp;</u></strong>and that our existing players will be able to enjoy RuneScape alongside new players.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Separate to the split, we’ve also heard the&nbsp;<strong><u>concerns around requiring separate Membership</u></strong>&nbsp;too. We’re currently exploring possibilities and we’ll let you know if we can make changes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It all ties together, but we ultimately&nbsp;<strong><u>want to remove friction that our veteran players may have</u></strong>&nbsp;engaging with or co-existing alongside Reignited. This is hugely important to us and is something we will keep coming back to.</p>

RuneScape Reignited is going back to the drawing board as Jagex explores ways to bring new and veteran players together.


Jagex Is Rethinking RuneScape Reignited After Fan Feedback


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Battlefield 6 just dropped its newest trailer for Season 5, and with it comes one of the game&#8217;s more bizarre crossovers yet. We are not only hitting the strip but Area 51 as well, and when the brand-new Halloween event rolls around, we will <a href="https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/area51" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/area51" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">finally see what&#8217;s underneath</a>: a Marker from the Dead Space franchise.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Something Hidden, Something Buried </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the end of the brand-new <a href="https://all.gg/news/battlefield-6-season-5-takes-the-fight-to-las-vegas/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/battlefield-6-season-5-takes-the-fight-to-las-vegas/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gameplay Trailer for BF6 Season 5</a>, we got a quick glimpse of an iconic Marker from Dead Space seemingly inside the top-secret Area 51 base. From early guesses about this small teaser, this Marker is red, which likely means mankind built it. Whether this is true or even canon in the Battlefield universe is up for debate, but it&#8217;s a noteworthy detail that might bleed into the upcoming Halloween event.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Currently, at the time of writing, we don&#8217;t know exactly when the Dead Space crossover will drop or what the rewards will be, but since it&#8217;s a Halloween update, we can likely assume it will be around the end of the month.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, according to a new press release, the eventthe Dead Space Halloween event will be a new PvE experience where, you guessed it, the Marker is trying to corrupt the world. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But one thing is for certain. The community is equally excited and nervous since Battlefield 6 initially promised the player base it would keep their cosmetic rewards realistic, and there have been some clashes along the way. With a fresh Sci-Fi crossover, who knows if they&#8217;ll keep that vision?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Battlefield 6 Season 5 is hiding a Dead Space Marker inside Area 51, teasing a strange new Halloween PvE event coming later this month.


Battlefield 6 Is Getting a Dead Space Crossover


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Battlefield 6 just dropped the trailer for Season 5, and the fight is heading straight to Sin City! That&#8217;s right, <strong>Battlefield 6 Season 5 is taking us to Las Vegas next week</strong>, bringing a handful of brand-new maps, some reworks, new weapons, vehicles, a new Operation, and even <a href="https://all.gg/news/battlefield-6-is-getting-a-dead-space-crossover/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/battlefield-6-is-getting-a-dead-space-crossover/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a Dead Space crossover.</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">War in Sin City</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Battlefield-6-Las-Vegas-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18657" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Battlefield-6-Las-Vegas-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Battlefield-6-Las-Vegas-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Battlefield-6-Las-Vegas-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Battlefield-6-Las-Vegas-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Battlefield-6-Las-Vegas-2048x1152.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Season 5 is taking us straight into the heart of Las Vegas. Soon, players will be able to deploy right onto the Strip, bringing hellfire and destruction to some of those familiar casinos where you may have lost a little too much money before.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that&#8217;s not the only place we&#8217;re heading. We&#8217;re also deploying to <strong>Area 51</strong>, and whatever we end up finding inside is sure to be one of the strangest things Battlefield 6 has thrown at us so far.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In total, Season 5 will add three brand-new maps, although one of them is still being kept under wraps. Two existing maps are also getting reworks: <strong>New Sobek City</strong> and <strong>Blackwell Fields</strong>. Honestly, Blackwell probably needs the makeover the most.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And, as always, a new season means new weapons. Season 5 is bringing six new additions to the arsenal:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>MK 24</strong> — Assault Rifle</li>



<li><strong>MCX Rattler LT</strong> — Submachine Gun</li>



<li><strong>Zastava M84 M</strong> — Light Machine Gun</li>



<li><strong>Noveske N4</strong> — Carbine</li>



<li><strong>Cadex CDX-40</strong> — Bolt-Action Rifle</li>



<li><strong>MK 1 Mod 0</strong> — Designated Marksman Rifle</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for some new wheels, the trailer showed off the <strong>M142 HIMARS</strong> and <strong>B-1B Lancer Bomber</strong>. And yes, we already got to see exactly what these things can do, with the trailer showing them obliterating the European Casino tower and the Area 51 control tower.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">REDSEC &amp; More</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Season 5 is also bringing <strong>Platoons</strong> into the game, giving players another way to group up as Battlefield&#8217;s massive lobbies get even bigger. We&#8217;re also getting <strong>Multiplayer Leaderboards</strong>, while REDSEC is getting a new <strong>Rapid Royal</strong> mode that moves the action onto the Las Vegas Strip.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking of REDSEC, the Battle Royale side of Battlefield 6 is also getting <strong>Ranked Battle Royale and Open Series</strong>, alongside a brand-new Operation called <strong>High Roller</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then there&#8217;s easily the weirdest part of the entire update.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This year&#8217;s Halloween event is actually going to be a <strong>Dead Space crossover</strong>. We don&#8217;t know exactly what rewards players will be able to earn just yet, but the crossover is already turning some heads. Battlefield 6 has made a big deal about maintaining its grounded art style, so it&#8217;ll be interesting to see exactly how Dead Space fits into that world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Either way, Battlefield 6 is going all-in on Sin City for Season 5, and we&#8217;re going to find out just how much chaos Las Vegas can handle.</p>


Battlefield 6 Season 5 is taking the fight to Las Vegas, adding new maps, weapons, vehicles, modes, an Operation, and a Dead Space crossover.

New Halloween Update in GTA Online


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is back with a surprisingly hefty 1.30 update, and this one is bringing an entirely new way to play. The latest patch introduces a brand-new unarmed combat playstyle, a new questline, plenty of new armor, weapons, and items, plus an entirely new skill tree. Best of all, <strong>it&#8217;s completely free!</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fists of Fury + Patch 1.30</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fall has officially arrived, and the folks over at Awaken Realms are <a href="https://all.gg/news/tainted-grail-the-fall-of-avalon-celebrates-1-year/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/tainted-grail-the-fall-of-avalon-celebrates-1-year/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">celebrating with yet another free DLC</a> for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. This time, it&#8217;s all about getting up close and personal with Fists of Fury.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The biggest addition in this DLC is a playstyle that players have been asking for for quite some time: <strong>unarmed combat</strong>. That&#8217;s right, you can finally throw away the sword, axe, or whatever other weapon you&#8217;re carrying and just start throwing hands. More importantly, unarmed combat isn&#8217;t just a fun gimmick. It&#8217;s now a fully supported build that you can actually build around.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To make that possible, Fists of Fury adds a brand-new skill tree dedicated to fighting with your fists, along with new items designed to enhance unarmed combat. There&#8217;s even a brand-new weapon category with seven fist weapons to help make your journey across Avalon a little more punchy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Without giving too many spoilers away, here&#8217;s what you can expect from the DLC:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>A new questline</strong> involving a mysterious traveler in the Horns of the South</li>



<li><strong>A brand-new weapon category</strong> with seven fist weapons</li>



<li><strong>New armor and items</strong>, including three new amulets and rings</li>



<li><strong>A brand-new skill tree</strong> under Strength focused on unarmed combat</li>
</ul>

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon Gets a Huge Free Update


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marvel Rivals just dropped a brand-new trailer showcasing what the developers have been cooking up for the next chapter of the Path to Doomsday. <a href="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-5-balance-changes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-5-balance-changes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Season 10.5</a> may not be adding a new hero, but it is bringing a ton of new events and multiplayer modes for players to jump into as we enter the Avengers: Infinity War portion of the event.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Path to Doomsday &#8211; Avengers: Infinity War</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First, let&#8217;s get the big news out of the way. We already knew that the latter half of this season would be dedicated to the Path to Doomsday event, and we&#8217;re now moving into Avengers: Infinity War. While that means we aren&#8217;t getting a brand-new hero this time around, we are getting a brand-new PvP mode.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this new mode, players will fight to claim the Infinity Stones, with each Stone granting a special power that can easily turn the tide of a fight. That&#8217;s not all, either. Between rounds, players will be able to choose from a selection of upgrades, all of which lean heavily into the ridiculous power fantasies we saw during the Marvel Zombies event.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Outside of the Infinity War game mode, we&#8217;re also getting, you guessed it, a whole lot more skins. The new Halloween event, Night of Illusions, will challenge players with an interactive puzzle experience, while a new batch of Infinity War-inspired skins will bring the Avengers&#8217; iconic looks to Marvel Rivals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that&#8217;s not all. Later this month, we&#8217;re getting <strong>another PvE game mode where 50 players</strong> will take on Thanos&#8217; Army and attempt to bring the Mad Titan down at the ruined Avengers Compound.</p>

Marvel Rivals is entering Avengers: Infinity War with new PvP and PvE modes, Infinity Stones, Halloween content, and plenty of new skins.


Marvel Rivals Is Going All-In on The Path to Doomsday


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 is arriving soon, bringing a bunch of <a href="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-is-going-all-in-on-the-path-to-doomsday/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-is-going-all-in-on-the-path-to-doomsday/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new events, skins, modes</a>, and, of course, some balance changes. While we aren&#8217;t getting a new hero or any new Team-Ups this time around, that doesn&#8217;t mean the developers are leaving the current roster completely untouched.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As usual, the midway point of a season means it&#8217;s time for another round of balance tweaks. Some heroes are getting buffs, others are getting hit with the nerf bat, and a few are getting some interesting changes to their abilities.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 10.5 Patch Notes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every new season brings the usual sweep of balance changes, and Season 10.5 is no different. Since there is <a href="https://all.gg/news/marvel-rivals-season-10-brings-gorr-and-loki-back/">no new hero arriving</a> and we&#8217;re only halfway through the season, these patch notes are understandably a little more tame than what we&#8217;d normally see with a major seasonal update.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That said, there are still a few changes worth keeping an eye on. So, let&#8217;s break everything down by role, starting with the Vanguards.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vanguard</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-3-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18647" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-3-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-3-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-3-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-3-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-3-2048x1152.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There aren&#8217;t a ton of major Vanguard changes to talk about this time around, but there are still a few notable tweaks. The biggest one is arguably coming to Bruce Banner, who is getting a little stronger when Hulk isn&#8217;t around.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s not all, either. Magneto and The Thing are both getting some buffs to their Team-Ups, giving these heroes a little more power when they&#8217;re fighting alongside their respective partners.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Duelist</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-2-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18646" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-2-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-2-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-2-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-2-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-2-2048x1152.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s probably no surprise to see Gorr getting some nerfs after the new Duelist has been dominating lobbies since his arrival. He&#8217;s been making quite the impact since joining the roster, so it was only a matter of time before the nerf bat came swinging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the biggest change for Duelists might actually be coming to Iron Man. His missile launcher is finally getting an update, with the missiles fired by his barrage now automatically tracking nearby enemies as soon as they&#8217;re launched.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Strategist</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-1-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18645" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-1-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-1-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-1-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-1-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Marvel-Rivals-Season-10.5-Balance-Changes-1-2048x1152.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the Strategists, it&#8217;s pretty much the same old, same old. Gambit is getting another nerf, continuing the game&#8217;s recent effort to bring the hero back in line.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, Jubilee is getting a brand-new effect that gives her some extra sustain during Sparking Sprint. The ability will now apply a continuous healing buff to herself, giving Jubilee a little more survivability while she&#8217;s zipping around the battlefield. But the bigger question is, did she really need it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 brings a new round of balance changes, including Gorr nerfs, an Iron Man buff, and updates for several other heroes.


Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 Balance Changes


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the launch of <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Valheim 1.0</a>, the game has added a bunch of brand-new achievements that Vikings couldn&#8217;t earn before launch. While many are straightforward, such as defeating every boss on normal or hard mode, crafting, building, or sailing a lot, there are a few that prove to be a bit difficult or weird to obtain. Easily one of the more misleading achievements in the game, based on its description, is Are You Alright? Achievement.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deadly &amp; Diseptive</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-6562" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Valheim-Swamp.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Are You Alright? Achievement is one of the deadlier and more misleading ones. The achievement&#8217;s in-game description says you need to &#8220;die in every way possible.&#8221; Despite initial impressions, this isn&#8217;t the case. When I first set out to get this achievement <a href="https://all.gg/news/10-valheim-tips-every-viking-needs-to-know/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/10-valheim-tips-every-viking-needs-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on my fresh playthrough</a>, I initally thought I needed to die in literally every way possible. From every enemy, damage type, environmental hazard, and more. But turns out you don&#8217;t. The achievement only requires 16 total different deaths, which are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Death By Enemy</li>



<li>Death By Falling</li>



<li>Death By Tree </li>



<li>Death By Smoke</li>



<li>Death By Burning</li>



<li>Death By Poisoning</li>



<li>Death By Drowning</li>



<li>Death By Freezing</li>



<li>Death by Stalactite </li>



<li>Death By Catapult</li>



<li>Death By the Obliterator </li>



<li>Death By Ashlands Ocean </li>



<li>Death By Ashlands Lava</li>



<li>Death By Ballista</li>



<li>Death By Drawbridge</li>



<li>Sail Over the Edge of the World</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s worth noting that if you are going for this achievement, you might want to do it in small bursts so you don&#8217;t lose your skill points over and over again. Or make a fresh character in <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-all-alternative-biomes-and-where-to-find-them/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-all-alternative-biomes-and-where-to-find-them/">an already ex</a><a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-all-alternative-biomes-and-where-to-find-them/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-all-alternative-biomes-and-where-to-find-them/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">p</a><a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-all-alternative-biomes-and-where-to-find-them/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-all-alternative-biomes-and-where-to-find-them/">lored world</a> and go die in all the necessary places.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for some of the more confusing ones, like the <strong>Stalactite, it is only found inside Frost Caves</strong>. For the Obliterator, you have to stand on top of it as it goes off. <strong>The Ashlands, ocean, and lava are two different sources</strong>, so dying in the water and in the normal lava are separate requirements. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus, sailing over the Edge of the World is actually a separate achievement on its own, so two birds with one stone. And there&#8217;s actually <strong>a separate achievement for getting crushed by every different type of tree in the game</strong>. So if you want that one as well, better get used to standing under falling logs.</p>


The Are You Alright? achievement sounds simple, but its description is misleading. Here are all 16 deaths you need to unlock it.


Valheim’s Are You Alright? Achievement Is Brutal


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The votes are in! The second hero arriving in Deadlock&#8217;s <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The City Never Sleeps Update</a> is Baba. Despite community reception suggesting many folks expected today&#8217;s new hero to be Solomon, New York&#8217;s notorious pigeon lady is arriving second!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baba Joins Deadlock</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="732" height="916" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Baba-Deadlock-Announcement.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18639" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Baba-Deadlock-Announcement.webp 732w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Baba-Deadlock-Announcement-240x300.webp 240w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Baba is easily one of the more interesting characters Deadlock has pushed out so far. Not only is Baba a deceptive old woman who clearly wields more power and magic than the populace believes, but she also has a very interesting playstyle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She is the second Deadlock hero who can steal enemy stats. Graves steals Gun Damage, while Baba can steal Spirit Power. But the most interesting part of her kit is that she can grow her living chair, causing her light melee attacks to knock foes away or her heavy attack to create a giant shockwave.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She also packs a little bit of variety. She can brew tea that deals damage, heals/shields her allies, or even silences her enemies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for her ultimate, she can throw bread at her enemies to attract birds that dive-bomb her foes for unavoidable damage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She is bringing one of the most diverse playstyles, and we can&#8217;t wait to see what players do with her.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


The second hero in Deadlock’s City Never Sleeps Update is Baba, the notorious pigeon lady with one of the game’s wildest kits yet.


Deadlock Adds Baba, the City’s Notorious Pigeon Lady

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://all.gg/news/guns-of-eschaton-combines-soulslike-combat-with-western-horror/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/guns-of-eschaton-combines-soulslike-combat-with-western-horror/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Guns of Eschaton</a> just dropped its brand-new demo, but this isn&#8217;t your average early peek at the game. Instead, the developers built the demo as a <strong>hand-crafted adventure</strong> that lets players experience the world, atmosphere, combat, enemies, weapons, and other core systems firsthand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The demo isn&#8217;t the campaign&#8217;s opening chapter, nor is it meant to be a complete slice of the Guns of Eschaton experience. The full game will take players much further than the chaotic West, eventually bringing them to the East of the burning Old South as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for what awaits you in the demo, you&#8217;ll encounter enemies that wouldn&#8217;t normally appear in this area of the full game. You&#8217;ll also get the chance to face a boss and experience the core of what Guns of Eschaton is all about: deadly gunfights, learning from every encounter, and getting a feel for this unique soulslike FPS.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And honestly, the combination of those two genres works surprisingly well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Than Just Bullets</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GoE_screenshot_4-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18616" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GoE_screenshot_4-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GoE_screenshot_4-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GoE_screenshot_4-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GoE_screenshot_4-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GoE_screenshot_4.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Take breaking an enemy&#8217;s guard, or poise, for example. Instead of simply giving you an opportunity to land a visceral attack, Guns of Eschaton slows everything down and kicks in bullet time. It feels like a much better fit for a game built entirely around gunplay rather than trying to force traditional soulslike mechanics into the mix.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The weapons are another highlight. Each one feels distinct, with different firing timings, reload patterns, handling, and overall weight. There&#8217;s a real emphasis on making every weapon feel like its own tool rather than simply giving you a collection of guns with slightly different stats.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mix all of that with a fantastic art style that blends the dusty Old West with cryptic, undead horrors, and Guns of Eschaton is already shaping up to be something pretty special.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We seriously recommend checking out the demo while you can. If this early taste is anything to go by, Guns of Eschaton will be a massive hit when the full game finally arrives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


The Guns of Eschaton demo is finally here, giving players a brutal taste of its unique blend of Old West gunplay and soulslike combat.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Overwatch x Solo Leveling</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Overwatch-x-Solo-Leveling-Skins-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18624" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Overwatch-x-Solo-Leveling-Skins-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Overwatch-x-Solo-Leveling-Skins-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Overwatch-x-Solo-Leveling-Skins-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Overwatch-x-Solo-Leveling-Skins-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Overwatch-x-Solo-Leveling-Skins.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You read that correctly. Blizzard just dropped a Solo Leveling crossover with <strong>five brand-new skins</strong>, and there was practically no buildup or warning leading up to the reveal. If you&#8217;re a fan of the anime, you can expect to see the following heroes take on some familiar faces:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Genji – Sung Jinwoo</strong></li>



<li><strong>Anran – Cha Hae-In</strong></li>



<li><strong>Lifeweaver – Choi Jong-In</strong></li>



<li><strong>Reaper – Igris</strong></li>



<li><strong>Reinhardt – Iron</strong></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The sudden reveal is definitely a bit surprising, especially since Blizzard gave players basically no time to prepare for it. Still, Overwatch isn&#8217;t exactly a stranger when it comes to anime and pop-culture collaborations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the years, we&#8217;ve seen the game team up with everything from One Punch Man and Avatar to Persona 5, YOASOBI, G.I. Joe, and even NERF. And that&#8217;s not even counting the <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-x-cyberpunk-edgerunners-collab-coming-in-2027/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-x-cyberpunk-edgerunners-collab-coming-in-2027/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">upcoming Cyberpunk collaboration.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, the big question is how much these <em>Solo Leveling</em> skins are going to cost. Hopefully, Blizzard doesn&#8217;t make us sell a kidney for them like it did with the third wave of <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-le-sserafim-skins-spark-price-debate/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-le-sserafim-skins-spark-price-debate/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LE SSERAFIM skins.</a></p>

Overwatch Season 5 just got a surprise Solo Leveling crossover, bringing five new skins based on characters from the popular anime.


Overwatch’s Solo Leveling Collab Is Here


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overwatch Season 5 is officially here, and Blizzard isn&#8217;t exactly easing players into it. Alongside the arrival of the highly anticipated new Support hero Doctrine, Season 5 brings a brand-new map, major Sombra and Roadhog reworks, new events, Mythic Weapons, returning favorites, and even <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatchs-solo-leveling-collab-is-here/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/overwatchs-solo-leveling-collab-is-here/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a surprising Solo Leveling crossover.</a> There is a lot packed into this season, so let&#8217;s break down everything dropping today.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Season 5 is offically here, and with it comes bunch of new content for players to get excited about. But just in case you missed it, here is a quick rundown of everything dropping today:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First, we are getting a brand-new escort map, Watchpoint: Grímsvötn, which you might already know <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-reveals-new-hero-doctrine-at-blizzcon-2026/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-reveals-new-hero-doctrine-at-blizzcon-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from the BlizzCon trailer</a>, where we saw members of Talon risk their lives to free Overwatch&#8217;s newest support hero, Doctrine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, we are getting the <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-season-5-reworks-sombra-and-roadhog/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-season-5-reworks-sombra-and-roadhog/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sombra &amp; Roadhog rework</a> as well. Sombra is swapping roles, becoming a full support, with a few new abilities that push her into a more supportive flanking role. Roadhog, meanwhile, is getting a few new toys to play with, mainly a new ability that lets him suck up enemy projectiles like scrap before firing them back.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the skin department, we have <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-season-5-brings-back-dokiwatch/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-season-5-brings-back-dokiwatch/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the return of Dokiwatch</a>. A new Halloween event: Mystery Madness: Graveyard Games. Unvaulted, Battle Passes. Two new Mythic Weapons for Wuyand and, finally, Lucio. And a surprising crossover with Solo Leveling.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It has been reported that with the recent explosion of jailbreaking capabilities on the Playstation 5, Rockstar could be choosing whether to lock the upcoming release of GTA VI to newer software.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A GTA VI Lockdown</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier this month, a new Playstation 5 jailbreak surfaced. Called <a href="https://github.com/ntfargo/Relapse-Exploit" data-type="link" data-id="https://github.com/ntfargo/Relapse-Exploit">Relapse</a>, it would allow anyone with a Playstation 5 running any firmware from 7.00 through to 13.60 to easily jailbreak their console. For those who don&#8217;t know, jailbreaking allows for the limits or restrictions placed on software to be bypassed. In this case it means that programs and apps can be run on a Playstation 5 without Sony approval.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whilst this does allow the Playstation 5 to run software that was previously impossible, like emulators, it also opens that gates to piracy. With the launch of GTA VI next month looking like the most anticipated release of the year, its no wonder why these recent developments have Rockstar concerned.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Grand Theft Auto VI requires at least PS5 Update 14.10.00.00. <a href="https://t.co/oxUZXiaUs8">pic.twitter.com/oxUZXiaUs8</a></p>&mdash; PlayStation Game Size (@PlaystationSize) <a href="https://x.com/PlaystationSize/status/2106137775955231098?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 2, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a way to combat this, it&#8217;s been reported that Rockstar will lock GTA VI to a certain firmware. The October 14.00 update is supposedly the one being targeted, well above the 13.60 limit of Relapse. This means that in order to play GTA VI when it comes out this November the console has to be up to date. The firmware limitation hasn&#8217;t been confirmed by either Rockstar or Sony, but given the hype it appears likely.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This should prevent GTA VI from being affected by these jailbreaks, at least in the near term. How long these measures will remain in place is anyone&#8217;s guess. It could be that some time after launch Rockstar drops the firmware requirements, or maybe the continuing development of jailbreaking software will necessitate harsher restrictions. Either way, the hype and anticipation surrounding GTA VI is palpable, and its launch will be immense.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following the recent bombshell announcement that Jagex is working on <a href="https://all.gg/news/jagex-reveals-runescape-4-its-new-mmo/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/jagex-reveals-runescape-4-its-new-mmo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RuneScape 4, a brand-new MMO</a> set in the RuneScape universe, the developers have now dropped even more details. A new post on the official website answers some of the biggest questions surrounding the game, including when and where it will take place in the RuneScape timeline.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A New RuneScape</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RS4_ConceptTeaser_Image-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18567" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RS4_ConceptTeaser_Image-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RS4_ConceptTeaser_Image-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RS4_ConceptTeaser_Image-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RS4_ConceptTeaser_Image.webp 1280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For more than 25 years, player feedback and the community have shaped the world of RuneScape. Originally, RS4 began as an expansion for <a href="https://all.gg/news/elves-new-skills-and-mods-are-coming-to-dragonwilds/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RuneScape: Dragonwilds</a>, but after hearing players ask for more MMO-style social features, Jagex decided to take the project in a much bigger direction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, that project has evolved into a fully fledged MMO.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the developers want to make one thing abundantly clear: <strong>RuneScape 4 will not replace any of Jagex&#8217;s existing games.</strong> That includes <a href="https://all.gg/news/runescape-reignited-is-rebuilding-25-years-of-runescape/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/runescape-reignited-is-rebuilding-25-years-of-runescape/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RuneScape</a>, <a href="https://all.gg/news/osrs-just-revealed-menaphos-hardcore-worlds-more/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/osrs-just-revealed-menaphos-hardcore-worlds-more/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Old School RuneScape</a>, and especially Dragonwilds. While RS4 will share Dragonwilds&#8217; art style and some of its DNA, all four games will continue to coexist as their own separate experiences.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Does the Journey Begin?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18563" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-2048x1152.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for where RS4 will take players, we&#8217;re heading back to <strong>Gielinor</strong>, but during the Sixth Age.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The developers have confirmed that the adventure will begin in Ashenfall, the area first explored in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. The region is located on a landmass northeast of Gielinor and will serve as the starting point for this new chapter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RS4 will take place years after the events of Dragonwilds and the defeat of the Dragon Queen Kuldra, which marked the first saga of Dragonwilds. Since then, the world has continued to change, and Ashenfall has changed right alongside it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And according to Jagex, this is only the beginning.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Start of Something New</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Naturally, announcing an entirely new RuneScape MMO has raised <strong>a ton</strong> of questions. Which platforms will it launch on? Will it use existing accounts? What about Membership? How will progression, combat, and skills work? Most importantly, when can we actually play it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately, Jagex doesn&#8217;t have all of those answers just yet, and the developers aren&#8217;t ready to talk about most of them. However, they have confirmed a few important details about what we&#8217;re getting with RuneScape 4:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>It&#8217;s a brand-new RuneScape MMORPG built in Unreal Engine.</li>



<li>It will exist alongside RuneScape, Old School RuneScape, and Dragonwilds as an independent experience.</li>



<li>It will remain true to RuneScape&#8217;s principles of integrity, permanent progression, and community-driven development.</li>



<li>It will be set in <strong>Gielinor</strong>, beginning in <strong>Ashenfall</strong>.</li>



<li>It&#8217;s still a few years away, but Jagex is announcing it now because the developers want to build the game alongside the community.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s still a lot we don&#8217;t know about RuneScape 4, but at least we now have a much clearer picture of where this new MMO is taking us. And honestly, if Jagex really intends to build this one alongside the community, we&#8217;re in for a very interesting few years.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-video"><video height="1080" style="aspect-ratio: 1920 / 1080;" width="1920" controls src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Jagex_RS4_Concept_Teaser_1080-1.mp4"></video></figure>


Jagex has revealed fresh RuneScape 4 details, including where the new MMO begins, its place in the timeline, and how it connects to Dragonwilds.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deadlock just released the first minor patch of the brand-new <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Never Sleeps Update</a>, hitting the king of Long Island, the Rat King, with some much-needed nerfs. However, what&#8217;s even more surprising is that Sinclair, of all heroes, got his with some nerfs as well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Rat Dethroned </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s no surprise that when a brand-new Deadlock hero releases, they&#8217;ll either go live in an over- or underpowered state. Such is the case with the Rat King, who has been seriously taking the streets by storm over the weekend. However, despite this, Valve is swinging the nerf bat at Sinclair too, marking the first major changes the magician has seen since last winter!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Outlast Trials is currently experiencing a massive surge in players, likely thanks to the ongoing Steam Autumn Sale. The sale has slashed the game&#8217;s price by a staggering 90%, and that massive discount appears to have brought in a flood of new players. In fact, the game has now broken its all-time peak player count <strong>twice in the past 24 hours.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fresh Meat for the Trials</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The recent <a href="https://all.gg/news/steam-autumn-sale-2026-25-games-worth-checking-out/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/steam-autumn-sale-2026-25-games-worth-checking-out/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steam Autumn Sale</a> has dropped the price of The Outlast Trials by <strong>90%</strong>, bringing the game down to just <strong>$4</strong>. Not only that, but all of the game&#8217;s DLC is also between <strong>70% and 90% off</strong>, bringing the total cost of picking up all the DLC down to just <strong>$14</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to these massive discounts, The Outlast Trials is absolutely exploding right now. The game has shattered its all-time peak player count twice in the past 24 hours, eventually reaching a staggering <strong>94,507 concurrent players</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="599" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Outlast-Trials-Player-Spike-1024x599.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18590" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Outlast-Trials-Player-Spike-1024x599.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Outlast-Trials-Player-Spike-300x175.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Outlast-Trials-Player-Spike-768x449.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Outlast-Trials-Player-Spike.webp 1028w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The sale isn&#8217;t the only reason for the sudden surge, either. With the game now available for just a few bucks, plenty of <a href="https://all.gg/games/dead-by-daylight/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/games/dead-by-daylight/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dead by Daylight</a> players appear to be jumping over to see what The Outlast Trials has to offer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While some existing players have expressed concerns about the sudden influx of new players, others believe the massive spike in exposure could be exactly what the game needs. If nothing else, The Outlast Trials has suddenly found itself with a lot of fresh meat walking through its doors.</p>

Not only are we getting <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-teases-diablo-crossover-and-more/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-teases-diablo-crossover-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a Diablo 4</a> and Nier: Automata crossover this month, but we are also getting the Terrifier in the PTB soon, and now we have a bunch of Twitch Drops to farm every week.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DBD October Twitch Drops</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unlike regular Twitch Drop campaigns where you can sit down and grind for a few hours to earn all the rewards at once, Behavior Interactive is switching things up this time. Instead, they&#8217;re spreading the rewards across all four weeks of October.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each week brings a brand-new reward, and the best part is that you only need to watch <strong>one hour</strong> of Dead by Daylight streams to earn each one.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here’s the full schedule:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>October 1–11:</strong> Corvidicus Malficus Charm</li>



<li><strong>October 12–18:</strong> Kit-Flying Fright Banner</li>



<li><strong>October 19–25:</strong> Fanged Flier Badge</li>



<li><strong>October 25–November 1:</strong> Smile Pumpkin Banner</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, if you want to collect all four rewards, check in each week and get that hour of watch time in before the current Drop expires.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Claim the Rewards</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To get any drops, make sure your <a href="https://account.bhvr.com/twitch/dbd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dead by Daylight account and Twitch are connected</a>. Afterward, watch any Drops-enabled Dead by Daylight streams in the <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/dead-by-daylight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dead by Daylight section</a>. You’ll see your progress tracked in the Twitch Drops Inventory as you watch. After you’ve reached the required watch time, go to your Twitch Drops Inventory and manually claim the reward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Dead by Daylight has four Twitch Drops up for grabs throughout October, with a new free reward available every week.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Seasonal frights have arrived in the latest update to GTA Online. Featuring bonus rewards, exclusive cosmetics, and the return of a fan favorite game mode, there&#8217;s plenty to do as the terror descends on Los Santos.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shivers Down Your Spine</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the most recent update to GTA Online Rockstar has revealed its newest event, <a href="https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/39a22k25434a53/experience-halloween-thrills-all-throughout-october-in-gta-online" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/39a22k25434a53/experience-halloween-thrills-all-throughout-october-in-gta-online">Halloween Thrills</a>. Starting from October 1st and running for the whole month, players can participate in a variety of activities for increased rewards and some time limited cosmetics.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GTAVOnlineJason-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-18605" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GTAVOnlineJason-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GTAVOnlineJason-300x169.jpg 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GTAVOnlineJason-768x432.jpg 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GTAVOnlineJason-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/GTAVOnlineJason-2048x1152.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Firstly, there are law enforcement bonuses available all month long. Players can earn double GTA$ and RP by catching either the standard or most wanted Bail Office targets, or by completing any Dispatch Work with Vincent Effenburger. Interested players can track down those stalking the streets for a handsome profit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that&#8217;s not all. To go along with the strange happenings in Los Santos, the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival game mode has returned. Brave players can journey to the snow-swept North Yankton to fight waves of the undead in this cooperative PvE activity type. To sweeten the deal, Rockstar has given all Survivals (Alien, Cayo Perico, and Ludendorff Cemetery) worth 3 times the GTA$ and RP, so players should try to make the most of the bonuses while the event is here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of that, Rockstar has included some timed rewards that change weekly. From October 1st to October 7th players can receive the Green Vintage Skull Mask and GTA$100,000 by completing two Bail Office bounties. The Cheerleader Massacre 3 T-Shirt is also up for grabs for any player who logs in during that week.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All together it looks like the Halloween season has arrived with a vengeance in GTA Online. With returning modes, huge rewards, and exclusive cosmetics, Rockstar shows no signs of slowing GTA Online support despite the approaching launch of GTA VI.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RuneFest 2026 has officially delivered one of <strong>the biggest RuneScape showcases in years</strong>, with Jagex revealing major plans for nearly every corner of the franchise. From a brand-new era for the main game to the reveal of RuneScape 4, Dragonwilds&#8217; massive content roadmap, and a huge slate of OSRS updates, RuneScape fans have plenty to look forward to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether you&#8217;re returning to Gielinor after years away or you&#8217;ve been playing every day, Jagex has made it clear that the RuneScape franchise is entering a new era.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here&#8217;s everything announced during RuneFest 2026.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RuneScape 4</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="575" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runescape-4-Town-1024x575.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18519" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runescape-4-Town-1024x575.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runescape-4-Town-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runescape-4-Town-768x431.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runescape-4-Town.webp 1319w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jagex also dropped a massive surprise at RuneFest 2026 <a href="https://all.gg/news/jagex-reveals-runescape-4-its-new-mmo/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/jagex-reveals-runescape-4-its-new-mmo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with the reveal of RuneScape 4</a>, officially<strong> expanding the franchise to a fourth MMO.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The funny part is that the project has actually been hiding in plain sight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RuneScape 4 originally started life as Shadows of Ashenfall, a planned RuneScape Dragonwilds expansion set for 2027. Jagex originally wanted to use the project to push Dragonwilds toward a more traditional MMO experience, with persistent servers, larger player counts, social hubs, player trading, and more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the scope eventually grew far beyond what was originally planned. Instead of keeping it as a Dragonwilds expansion, Jagex turned the project into a standalone MMO.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And now, it&#8217;s officially known as RuneScape 4.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The project is still in development, and no release window has been announced yet.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RuneScape Reignited</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Reignited-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18547" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Reignited-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Reignited-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Reignited-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Reignited-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Reignited.webp 1919w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The biggest announcement for the main RuneScape game is undoubtedly <a href="https://all.gg/news/runescape-reignited-is-rebuilding-25-years-of-runescape/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/runescape-reignited-is-rebuilding-25-years-of-runescape/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RuneScape Reignited</a>, a brand-new chapter designed to rebuild <strong>25 years of RuneScape history for the modern era.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RuneScape Reignited <strong>launches on December 2</strong> and will introduce a fresh economy, new high scores, the Remastered Journey and Adventure Guide, and several other changes aimed at creating a more streamlined, player-focused experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the biggest changes is also the <strong>removal of Treasure Hunter</strong>, while players will start at Level 3 and gain access to official Plugin API support and new story arcs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this is only the beginning. Jagex has already <strong>revealed a packed 2027 roadmap</strong> featuring three major story arcs, an Agility rework, new skilling and solo bosses, expanded areas, and a brand-new Grandmaster Quest.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RuneScape Dragonwilds</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_Crown_of_night_keyart-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18527" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_Crown_of_night_keyart-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_Crown_of_night_keyart-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_Crown_of_night_keyart-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_Crown_of_night_keyart-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_Crown_of_night_keyart-2048x1152.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RuneScape Dragonwilds also drew huge attention during RuneFest, with Jagex <a href="https://all.gg/news/elves-new-skills-and-mods-are-coming-to-dragonwilds/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/elves-new-skills-and-mods-are-coming-to-dragonwilds/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revealing several major updates coming to the survival RPG.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The upcoming <strong>Luminance</strong> update will introduce Elves to Ashenfall, allowing players to customize their characters as Elves and build new Elf-themed structures. The update will also add new quests, a new area, and <strong>the Prayer skill.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jagex also revealed more details about the <strong>Blood Crystal Saga</strong>, which begins next year with <strong>Song of Rebellion</strong>. The saga will introduce iconic RuneScape enemies, new areas, quests, gear, decorations, and <strong>the Hunter &amp; Slayer skill.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that&#8217;s not all. <strong>Official mod support </strong>is coming to Dragonwilds in 2027 through a new partnership with CurseForge, bringing dedicated creation tools alongside an in-game mod browser and installer for PC and Console.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Old School RuneScape</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/vid_thumb_Menaphos-B-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18540" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/vid_thumb_Menaphos-B-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/vid_thumb_Menaphos-B-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/vid_thumb_Menaphos-B-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/vid_thumb_Menaphos-B-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/vid_thumb_Menaphos-B.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Old School RuneScape received <a href="https://all.gg/news/osrs-just-revealed-menaphos-hardcore-worlds-more/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/osrs-just-revealed-menaphos-hardcore-worlds-more/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">one of the biggest roadmaps of the entire show</a>, with Jagex revealing a huge lineup of content stretching into 2027.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Fractured Archive</strong>, a brand-new end-game raid, launches on October 20 with eight new bosses and new best-in-slot rewards. <strong>Hardcore Worlds</strong> will follow on November 4, giving players a fresh and much more dangerous way to experience OSRS.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And after roughly 20 years of waiting, <strong>Menaphos is finally opening its golden gates</strong>, bringing a new master-tier quest, creatures, encounters, and a Skilling Dungeon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s just scratching the surface, with new dungeons, bosses, quests, skill reworks, and the <strong>conclusions to both Zanik&#8217;s and the Fairytale storylines also on the way.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A New Era for RuneScape</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="350" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneFest-2026-Logo-with-Shadow-Horizontal-1024x350.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18555" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneFest-2026-Logo-with-Shadow-Horizontal-1024x350.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneFest-2026-Logo-with-Shadow-Horizontal-300x103.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneFest-2026-Logo-with-Shadow-Horizontal-768x263.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneFest-2026-Logo-with-Shadow-Horizontal-1536x525.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneFest-2026-Logo-with-Shadow-Horizontal-2048x700.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RuneFest 2026 made one thing very clear: <strong>Jagex isn&#8217;t slowing down the RuneScape franchise anytime soon.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And honestly, this is only the beginning. RuneScape Reignited launches on December 2, Dragonwilds has major updates coming soon, RuneScape 4 is already taking shape, and Old School RuneScape is preparing to roll out new raids, worlds, areas, quests, and more. Jagex has packed the next few months and all of 2027 with new RuneScape content, meaning there won&#8217;t be much time to sit around waiting for what&#8217;s next.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jagex is also taking RuneScape beyond video games</strong>, partnering with Charlie White, aka MoistCr1TiKaL, and LA-based production company Lyrical Media to bring Gielinor to life in <strong>a brand-new animated series</strong>. The adaptation will explore the world of RuneScape, its characters, and the stories that have kept players coming back for more for over 25 years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With so much already announced and even more still to come, RuneScape fans have a seriously busy year ahead.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Anniversary II update for Space Marine 2 is now officially live. If you missed it, this update isn&#8217;t just a celebration; it also brings a brand-new <a href="https://all.gg/news/space-marine-2-patch-15-adds-chaos-siege/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/space-marine-2-patch-15-adds-chaos-siege/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Siege Mode spin-off</a>, new progression mechanics, weapons, armor pieces, and the first two DLCs for Season Pass 3.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Years of Space Marine 2</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s hard to believe that it&#8217;s already been two years since Space Marine 2 took the world by storm. Since then, we have added a bunch of new maps for both PvE and PvP, a ton of new weapons, <a href="https://all.gg/news/space-marine-2-is-getting-a-new-class-and-more-in-2027/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/space-marine-2-is-getting-a-new-class-and-more-in-2027/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">one new class with another on the way</a>, and, of course, a mountain of skins.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this patch, we are getting a twist on the ever-popular Siege Mode, with Chaos Siege. It&#8217;s exactly how it sounds; it&#8217;s like playing regular Siege Mode, but you are Chaos Space Marines fighting against the Imperium. It&#8217;s just as good and bloody as it&#8217;s always been, and if you aren&#8217;t a big PvP enjoyer, this is your chance to really indulge in Chaos.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re also getting the new Crucible Mode, a system that lets players take on additional Penances designed to make their Operations even more challenging. Completing an Operation while a Penance is active will earn you Purity XP, which you can use to unlock unique customization items and armor pieces.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And of course, it wouldn&#8217;t be a new major patch without a few new armor pieces and weapons, but the Tactical Class is also getting a full rework!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for what&#8217;s in store for the year, the developers have already shown us the next four upcoming patches. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dead by Daylight just dropped another shocking crossover coming during the Halloween season.  After initally pushing out a smaller teaser a few days ago, they finally dropped the big news that NieR: Automata is getting its own collection on October 6.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NieR: Automata in DBD</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, you are reading that correctly. NieR: Automata is making its way to Dead by Daylight.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alongside this small teaser, the brand-new official October 2026 roadmap also confirms we are getting at least a 2B and an A2 skin. As for which survivor is getting them, neither the community nor we know (anyone is good as long as it isn&#8217;t Sable).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thankfully, we won&#8217;t have to wait much longer since this collab is actually dropping in three days, which is two weeks <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-teases-diablo-crossover-and-more/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-teases-diablo-crossover-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">before the Diablo 4 collab</a>, which we have known about for months now. Perhaps shock value will help these skins sell? Only time will tell.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">October of Horror Roadmap</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s no surprise October will be a massive month for Dead by Daylight, given the season and all. But this month will kill your wallet. In total, you can expect five entirely new collections this month: two brand-new crossovers with <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-teases-diablo-crossover-and-more/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-teases-diablo-crossover-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diablo 4</a> and <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-is-getting-a-nier-automata-collab/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nier: Automata</a>, plus the other original collections.

Dead by Daylight’s October of Horror roadmap is packed with crossovers, Halloween events, new collections, and the arrival of Terrifier.


Dead by Daylight October 2026 Roadmap Has Arrived


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RuneFest 2026 is finally here, and Jagex is coming out swinging, dropping major announcements one after another. But easily the biggest news so far is that Jagex is officially <strong>launching a fourth MMO in the RuneScape franchise.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RuneScape 4</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s right, you are hearing or reading that correctly. Jagex is officially expanding the RuneScape franchise with a fourth MMO, but the funny part is, it&#8217;s been hiding in plain sight this entire time.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Dragon-Wilds-2026-Original-Roadmap-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18521" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Dragon-Wilds-2026-Original-Roadmap-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Dragon-Wilds-2026-Original-Roadmap-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Dragon-Wilds-2026-Original-Roadmap-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Dragon-Wilds-2026-Original-Roadmap-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/RuneScape-Dragon-Wilds-2026-Original-Roadmap.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you remember the original 2026 RuneScape Dragonwilds roadmap, you might remember a section about &#8220;Shadows of Ashenfall&#8221; coming in 2027. Jagex originally designed the expansion to transform Dragonwilds into a more traditional MMO experience, with player feedback shaping its development.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The idea was to keep Dragonwilds&#8217; unique art style while adding persistent servers, higher player counts, and plenty of social features. Imagine Dragonwilds with social hubs, player trading, and all the other features you&#8217;d expect from a proper MMO.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-video"><video height="1080" style="aspect-ratio: 1920 / 1080;" width="1920" controls src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Jagex_RS4_Concept_Teaser_1080-1.mp4"></video></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, as the team continued working on the project, the scope started to grow, and it became clear that Shadows of Ashenfall was heading in a completely different direction. What was originally going to be a Dragonwilds expansion had evolved into something much bigger.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The project eventually grew into a brand-new standalone MMO, with Jagex officially revealing it as RuneScape 4.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The project is still in development, and there is currently no release window. So, hopefully, we&#8217;ll get to see more of RuneScape 4 as Jagex continues to build it out, with more details hopefully coming in 2027.</p>

Jagex Reveals RuneScape 4, Its New MMO


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jagex just announced one of the biggest roadmaps for Old School RuneScape at Runefest 2026. Players can expect a brand-new end-game raid launching in October, new Hardcore worlds in November, Menaphos finally opening its doors to the world, new quests, tons of new bosses, creatures, areas, a rework to Mining and Smithing, a continuation of the Fairytale questline, and so much more.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Fractured Archive</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First, there&#8217;s a mountain of new information and content coming for OSRS, so let&#8217;s start with the upcoming Fractured Archive. This update is the first of many and arrives October 20th, introducing Old School&#8217;s toughest raid yet, featuring eight brand-new bosses, a streamlined Boss Rush, and new best-in-slot rewards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition, a brand-new PvP tutorial drops October 7th to help newer players learn how to beat other players.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Chosen Commander </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Later this winter, the Chosen Commander update will finally bring the conclusion to Zanik&#8217;s storyline! It&#8217;s finally time to learn what Bandos plans are for his Chosen Commander and end them once and for all. Players will also revisit Dorgesh-Kann, along with brand-new skilling content.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have you wanted to earn your stripes and see how long you can last without dying? Perhaps days, weeks, months, or merely a few minutes. Well, now you can. Jagex is introducing a Hardcore mode on November 4th, with a fresh set of new worlds and a new game economy. Go in solo, with friends, or alongside your favorite creators in factions. Experience the prestige, new wonder, and danger in Hardcore, but most importantly… whatever you do, stay alive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if you do inevitably die, you can transfer your hardcore character back to the normal realms, or reset and start over.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dungeons of Gielinor</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Afterward, coming in 2027, we have the Dungeons of Gielinor, which aims to send players back to old dungeons alongside brand-new ones. Along with reintroducing old dungeons, the devs are also adding a new quest, new creatures, and, of course, new bosses.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Menaphos</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The day has finally arrived, one that thousands of OSRS fans have been waiting for. The golden gates are finally opening. After 20 years of waiting, Menaphos is finally within reach. Previously, we&#8217;ve heard about the city’s wealth, its towering palace, and its importance to the Kharidian Desert. We&#8217;ve explored and watched from the outside, but the gates have always remained firmly shut.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the wait is finally over.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Players can now experience the city of Menaphos with an all-new master-tier quest, new creatures, encounters, a new Skilling Dungeon, and much more.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mining &amp; Smithing Reforged</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As summer approaches, OSRS players are finally getting a bunch of major quality-of-life updates. Some include a full rework of the Mining and Smithing skills, and the developers want the community&#8217;s help shaping them for the better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This patch will also focus heavily on addressing problems the developers and the community have known about for a while.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Fairytale III: Nexus of Power</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next is the conclusion to one of, if not the most requested, storylines the OSRS player base has been asking for. The completion of the Fairytale storyline! Finally, players will see the Fairy Godparent and his orc army trying to take over all of Gielinor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This update will also ship with new Runecraft training methods, Fairy Ring upgrades, and a new repeatable boss.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Tower of Xophoros</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, Jagex is keeping the final section of the roadmap pretty close to their chest so far. But one thing is for certain: players should be hyped. The Tower of Xophoros will finally introduce the best slot magic cape to the game, filling in that last piece of the BiS capes.</p>

OSRS Just Revealed Menaphos, Hardcore Worlds & More


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jagex just unveiled what&#8217;s next for RuneScape at RuneFest 2026, and it&#8217;s easily one of the biggest reveals the game has seen in years. The developers are officially launching a brand-new chapter with RuneScape Reignited, inviting both new and returning players to rediscover the game and experience RuneScape as it was always meant to be.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RuneScape Reignited</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For over 25 years, millions of players have experienced the world of Gielinor, whether they&#8217;re completing quests, grinding skills, or simply exploring the lands. But a lot has changed throughout those 25 years, and now Jagex is taking RuneScape into a brand-new era.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">RuneScape Reignited is rebuilding 25 years of RuneScape history for the modern era, giving both new and veteran players a fresh way to experience the game.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through the Remastered Journey and Adventure Guide, a fresh economy, brand-new high scores, and a renewed focus on putting players first, Reignited aims to deliver the ultimate RuneScape experience like never before.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s right, RuneScape Reignited launches on December 2, and Jagex already has plenty of new content planned for 2027. The new year will kick off with a series of major story arcs, each tying into long-running RuneScape storylines while introducing new content and gameplay features.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reignited Roadmap</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">2027 will unfold across three major story arcs: <strong>Hoard of Dragons</strong>, which kicks off in January and serves as a sequel to the popular Dragon Slayer quest; <strong>City of Gnomes</strong>, which continues the Gnome storyline that began all the way back in 2002; and <strong>Secrets of Karamja</strong>, which will introduce a brand-new end-game raid.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These three story arcs will shape RuneScape&#8217;s 2027 content while also bringing a <strong>major Agility skill rework</strong>, new skilling and solo bosses, new area expansions, and a <strong>brand-new Grandmaster Quest.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus, that&#8217;s not even mentioning the mountain of improvements and quality-of-life updates that will roll out through the Road of Restoration.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With RuneScape Reignited, Jagex isn&#8217;t just looking to bring players back to Gielinor. It&#8217;s laying the foundation for a whole new era of RuneScape.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Jagex has unveiled RuneScape Reignited, a massive new chapter rebuilding 25 years of RuneScape with major changes and a packed 2027 roadmap.


RuneScape Reignited Is Rebuilding 25 Years of RuneScape


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jagex just dropped a ton of news about RuneScape Dragonwilds during RuneFest 2026. Fans finally got more information about the upcoming Luminance update, which will <strong>introduce Elves to Dragonwilds</strong>. We also learned more about the upcoming Blood Crystal Saga, which will bring back iconic enemies, add new areas and quests, and introduce new gear, decorations, and skills.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you thought that was all, Jagex still had more to share about the upcoming Song of Rebellion update: they are <strong>adding official modding support!</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Elves &amp; Luminance</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18563" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Runefest_SOR_forest-2048x1152.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s right, Elves are officially making their way to RuneScape Dragonwilds as part of the game&#8217;s first major update since the 1.0 launch. With Luminance, players will finally be able to <strong>customize their characters as Elves</strong> instead of only playing as Humans.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jagex is also adding a bunch of Elf-themed building customizations alongside the new character options, letting players give their homes a matching Elven aesthetic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The update also introduces brand-new quests featuring both friendly and hostile Elves for players to interact with and fight. A new area will also help explain why the Elves have suddenly started appearing throughout Ashenfall.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, the Luminance update will finally bring another classic RuneScape skill to Dragonwilds: Prayer!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next year will kick off the Blood Crystal Saga with Song of Rebellion. These updates will bring several iconic enemy encounters from the RuneScape series to Dragonwilds, including <strong>Moss Giants, Kebbits, and Implings</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jagex will also introduce the Hunter skill alongside new areas to explore, quests to complete, gear to collect, and decorations for players&#8217; homes. Some of these new decorations will even take inspiration from the classic RuneScape city of Prifddinas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jagex also plans to start rolling out monthly and quarterly updates. Monthly updates will include things like new quests, weapons, decorations, and quality-of-life improvements, building on the content the team has already delivered since Early Access.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quarterly updates, meanwhile, will focus on larger additions, including major <strong>new features and skills like Hunter and Slayer.</strong></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Official Mod Support</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that&#8217;s not all coming to Dragonwilds! Jagex also announced that RuneScape Dragonwilds will <strong>receive official mod support in 2027.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through a new partnership with CurseForge, Jagex will provide dedicated creation tools alongside an in-game mod browser and installer. Even better, the modding update will launch across all platforms, including consoles.</p>

Elves, New Skills and Mods Are Coming to Dragonwilds


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The votes are in! Deadlock just dropped its first brand-new hero from the recent <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/">City Never</a><a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/">Sleeps Update</a>, and it&#8217;s really no surprise who won. That&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s Rat King!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rat King Joins Deadlock</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s really no surprise that Rat King was the very first hero the community voted for. He&#8217;s easily one of the most standout heroes from the roster, but more importantly, he&#8217;s been a community prediction for a long, long time. So, it only makes sense that folks wanted him in the game first.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To top it all off, the <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlocks-city-never-sleeps-update-completely-reworks-the-map/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlocks-city-never-sleeps-update-completely-reworks-the-map/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">brand-new map</a> made his addition even more fitting. The underground tunnels are now much larger, with more characters roaming around besides Rem, and even Mo &amp; Krill can fit inside. Jokes have been circulating throughout the community since day one of the patch about Rat King finally stalking Rem through the sewers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, now that joke has officially become a reality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the King&#8217;s kit, it is primarily a Gun hero, packing loads of rats and a lot of scrap. But like other rats, he seems built big enough to charge into the front lines; after all, he is the king of Long Island.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But don&#8217;t forget to keep those votes rolling to see what hero comes out next Tuesday!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1011" height="878" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Deadlock-Rat-King-Announcement.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18516" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Deadlock-Rat-King-Announcement.webp 1011w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Deadlock-Rat-King-Announcement-300x261.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Deadlock-Rat-King-Announcement-768x667.webp 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1011px) 100vw, 1011px" /></figure>


Rat King has finally arrived in Deadlock after winning the community’s first hero vote, bringing plenty of rats, scrap, and gunplay with him.


Rat King Finally Stalks the Sewers in Deadlock


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rust is back with its annual update. This time, for October, they are focusing a little bit more on the world itself, or rather the lack of wildlife and animals. So this patch, the Livestock update, fleshes out the world with a mix of wildlife and tameable animals. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Livestock &amp; Benifits</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond the many smaller animals now <a href="https://all.gg/news/rust-common-ground-update-introduces-apartments-and-shops/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/rust-common-ground-update-introduces-apartments-and-shops/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">running around Rust Island</a> from the trailer, a handful of livestock can now be tamed, bred, and harvested for different materials. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Players can now tame cows and sheep, with cows producing milk and sheep producing wool. You can harvest both for meat, bones, and leather like other animals. Additionally, <strong>you can sell a grown animal to an NPC at the ranch</strong> if your farm is getting full.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for what milk is used for, you can drink it just like any other consumable, but if you refrigerate it for 4 hours, you can turn it into skim milk. Doing so will give you<strong> Skimmed Milk and Cream</strong>. All of these items are in a bunch of crafting recipes. <strong>Milk generally increases the duration of Tea effects, whereas Cream increases the potency.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Rust - Livestock Update | Launch Trailer" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZF09w_v7Shw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fencing &amp; Biofuel</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can now also construct small fencing areas to keep your livestock under control, but you&#8217;ll naturally want to do that behind sturdy walls, <a href="https://all.gg/news/rust-breach-clear-update-is-here/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/rust-breach-clear-update-is-here/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">since they offer no protection.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus, with this update, there is finally a way to make use of raw or spoiled meat via the Biofuel Generator. <strong>This new machine turns organic matter into low-grade fuel</strong>, but you must stir it by hand. Simply fill it up, stir it, and let it process for over 30 minutes before you have to touch it again. You can also hook up some IO to let you know when it needs stirring again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The amount of low grade you get depends on the type of organic matter you put in; those with a higher calorific value will give you more low grade.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Critters &amp; Performance</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_squirrel_2_1080-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18508" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_squirrel_2_1080-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_squirrel_2_1080-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_squirrel_2_1080-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_squirrel_2_1080-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_squirrel_2_1080.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alongside the livestock coming in this update, you&#8217;ll also see a bunch of smaller animals scuttling around the environment. From squirrels in the forest to crabs on the beach, the world of Rust no longer feels completely devoid of animal life, sparing a few mobs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The devs know the community will have comments about possible stuttering or performance problems these animals might bring. So they had this to say:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The critters are heavily budgeted and have dedicated behaviours to ensure they don&#8217;t take up any more server (and client) performance than strictly necessary. For now, they are mostly set dressing, and their performance limits are set with that in mind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to our many efforts to optimise other aspects of the game, we can use a part of those savings to give the game more life and vibrancy!</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Air Wolf Raid</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/30_13-24-FondNeonrainbowfish-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18507" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/30_13-24-FondNeonrainbowfish-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/30_13-24-FondNeonrainbowfish-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/30_13-24-FondNeonrainbowfish-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/30_13-24-FondNeonrainbowfish-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/30_13-24-FondNeonrainbowfish.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this update isn&#8217;t all about animals. At the start of the wipe, the Air Wolf helipad in the Bandit Camp will now be in a state of disrepair. <strong>The vehicle vendor NPC will refuse to sell vehicles to anyone until repairs are done.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultimately, players must make these repairs, and doing so is like constructing siege weapons. <strong>But once the helipad no longer needs fixing, it stays repaired for the duration of the wipe.</strong></p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The intention is that repairing the helipad requires a communal effort and air vehicles purchased from this vendor should no longer start spawning too quickly into the start of the wipe. If a clan wishes to get quick access to air vehicles they are required to invest a significant amount of resources to do so and they are also opening up access to the vendor to everyone else on the server.</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Powergrid Loot Rooms &amp; Heavy Fuse Decay</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_lootroom_4_1080-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18506" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_lootroom_4_1080-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_lootroom_4_1080-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_lootroom_4_1080-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_lootroom_4_1080-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/rust_lootroom_4_1080.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The last major thing arriving in this update is an expansion of a previous Rust update: the <a href="https://all.gg/news/rust-power-trip-update-overhauls-monuments-power/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/rust-power-trip-update-overhauls-monuments-power/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Power Trip patch</a>. They are adding new loot rooms to several other monuments. These rooms are locked by default and will become accessible once enough Heavy Fuses have been put into the Powerplant.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can find some of these new rooms at the following locations:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Airfield</li>



<li>Ferry Terminal</li>



<li>Harbour 1</li>



<li>Harbour 2</li>



<li>Ferry Terminal</li>



<li>Junkyard</li>



<li>Launch Site</li>



<li>Military Tunnels</li>



<li>Nuclear Missile Silo</li>



<li>Radtown</li>



<li>Sewer Branch</li>



<li>Trainyard</li>



<li>Water Treatment Plant</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, <strong>heavy fuses and their decay rate will now scale with the server population</strong>. If the server has 10 or fewer players, the fuses will last four times as long. This means that smaller servers won&#8217;t have to keep as frequent tabs on Power Plant and other monuments as much as larger servers will.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Rust’s latest update is breathing new life into the island with tameable livestock, roaming critters, biofuel, new loot rooms, and more.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So far, what we know this season is bringing is:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>New Overclocks</li>



<li>Revising the Perk System
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>11 new perks have been added.</li>



<li>Some old perks have been reworked.</li>



<li>Addition of a new “Perk Maintenance” system, which will function similarly to the existing Weapon Maintenance system.</li>



<li>Once all perks are unlocked, you&#8217;ll be able to unlock &#8220;Perk Proficiency&#8221; slots, which lets players dump excess points into them to grant very small baseline stat buffs.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Tattoo Cosmetics</li>



<li>Traversal Tool Paintjobs</li>



<li>New Season Event</li>



<li>New Performance Pass</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 08 + Expansion DLC</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the following season and the first-ever Expansion DLC, the release window is summer 2027. As with any other season, Season 8 will be free for everyone, and the developers still plan to continue free content updates in the future. However, they also say Season 8 will likely be one of the smaller seasons, since it&#8217;s shipping with the expansion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the expansion, the developers sadly don&#8217;t have anything to share right now, as a lot of details are still up in the air.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But for the DRG Universe overall, they did share a roadmap of all the updates coming across all three games!</p>

Ghost Ship Games has finally revealed what’s next for Deep Rock Galactic, with Season 7 arriving this December and a new expansion planned for 2027.


Deep Rock Galactic Reveals Season 7 & First Expansion DLC


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ghost Ship Games just dropped a brand-new teaser for the third major update to Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core. This short teaser shows Reclaimers digging deeper than ever before, and what they find might be Rogue Core&#8217;s most eldritch enemy yet.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Something Old, Something New</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This brand-new trailer for <a href="https://all.gg/news/rogue-core-update-2-finally-adds-threat-levels/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/rogue-core-update-2-finally-adds-threat-levels/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DRG Rogue Core</a> is sadly short and doesn&#8217;t show much, but it leaves a lot of questions in the air that the community is buzzing about. During the Big Break Showcase, we got a brief look at what appears to be a brand-new type of artifact, along with the mysterious enemy seemingly connected to it.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whatever this enemy is, it&#8217;s certainly unlike anything we&#8217;ve seen before. It could mark a first not only for Deep Rock Galactic, but for Rogue Core as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So far, the developers are keeping their secrets about Update 3 for Rogue Core on the downlow, but we can expect to see the full update on live servers sometime at the end of this month or the start of November. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Until then, prepare yourself for what&#8217;s to come. </p>

This time, they&#8217;re talking not only about what&#8217;s coming in the DLC itself, but also a free update alongside it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Everything in Hallowed Concepts </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Risk-of-Rain-2-Hallowed-Concepts-Map-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18488" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Risk-of-Rain-2-Hallowed-Concepts-Map-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Risk-of-Rain-2-Hallowed-Concepts-Map-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Risk-of-Rain-2-Hallowed-Concepts-Map-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Risk-of-Rain-2-Hallowed-Concepts-Map-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Risk-of-Rain-2-Hallowed-Concepts-Map.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a quick recap of everything arriving in the Hallowed Concepts DLC for Risk of Rain 2:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two new Survivors are arriving: <a href="https://all.gg/news/new-risk-of-rain-2-survivors-look-wild-in-final-dev-diary/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/new-risk-of-rain-2-survivors-look-wild-in-final-dev-diary/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Enforcer &amp; The Acolyte</a>. Several new trial stages, which are unique mid-run challenges. A handful of brand new items, including Hexes, which negatively affect your character until you can cleanse them, turning them into the new Hollowed Items.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are three new standard stages arriving with three new bosses, four new enemies, a new Elite type, new unlockable Survivor skins, and of course a new soundtrack, and much more.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Free Update</h2>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alongside this DLC, Risk of Rain 2 is also getting a free update which will add a bunch of new skills to a handful of older Survivors. The vanilla game is also getting a brand-new system: the Karma system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While we don&#8217;t know the exact details of this new system yet, we do know that if you achieve certain milestones during your run, you will earn Karma. The more Karma you stack, the harder your final encounter with Mithrix will be. The community is already rejoicing, as Mithrix, for the most part, has been pretty easy to beat compared to other bosses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So with the Karma system, if you max it out, you will basically be <strong>fighting Mithrix on his long awaited Umbral difficulty.</strong> Complete with more power scaling, new moves, and a lot more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More details surrounding the DLC&#8217;s eventual release will drop on <strong>October 8th.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dead by Daylight just dropped a massive teaser for a handful of new skins, events, and everything happening in October. From brand-new Blight skins for Killers to the arrival of the Diablo Collection, a new event, and more.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">October of Horror</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Naturally, October always has a lot in store for <a href="https://all.gg/games/dead-by-daylight/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/games/dead-by-daylight/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dead by Daylight</a>; it&#8217;s spooky season. In today&#8217;s trailer, fans got a small taste of what is arriving this month, but the devs haven&#8217;t released an official roadmap at the time of writing, so we don&#8217;t know the release order or dates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But with that out of the way, you can expect a bunch of brand new skin lines to drop this month, which include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Haunted Blight Collection.</li>



<li>Academia Rift.</li>



<li>Diablo Collection.</li>



<li>November Days Collection.</li>



<li>Stranger Things Collection.</li>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To quickly summarize. <strong>The Haunted Blight Collection</strong> introduces brand-new skins for Jason, The Houndmaster, and The Knight. <strong>The Academia Rift</strong> is giving The Clown, The Huntress, Claudette, Renato, Thalita, and Vee old-school outfits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Diablo collection</strong> is bringing in a fresh crossover with Blizzard Entertainment&#8217;s <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diablo Series</a>, giving new skins to The Artist, The Dredge, The Nurse, David, Taurie, and Zarina.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>November Days</strong> is giving Ghost Face a brand new skin inspired by Day of the Dead. And last, the <strong>Stranger Things Collection</strong> is getting fresh skins that are more in line with the show&#8217;s ending.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s also going to be a new event, dubbed the <strong>Haunted By Daylight Event</strong>. So far, all we know is that this limited-time game mode includes only The Hillbilly and Shane, and is unlike last year&#8217;s Haunted event.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deep Silver just dropped a <a href="https://www.deepsilver.com/games/metro2039/news/metro-redux-next-gen-update-coming-this-month">surprise announcement</a> for its older METRO titles, months ahead of <a href="https://all.gg/news/metro-2039-release-date-finally-revealed/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/metro-2039-release-date-finally-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the release of METRO 2039</a>. Later this month, both METRO 2033 Redux and Last Light Redux will receive a major next-gen update for consoles and PC.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Old World, New Look</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/image_2026-10-01_141648857-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18481" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/image_2026-10-01_141648857-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/image_2026-10-01_141648857-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/image_2026-10-01_141648857-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/image_2026-10-01_141648857-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/image_2026-10-01_141648857.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s right, the METRO developers just confirmed that both <a href="https://all.gg/news/the-witcher-3-remastered-broke-its-10-year-old-record/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/the-witcher-3-remastered-broke-its-10-year-old-record/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">older games are getting a facelift</a>. This isn&#8217;t a full remaster or a remake, either. The original METRO Redux experience and aesthetic are being preserved while the games receive a host of modern visual and technical upgrades.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All platforms will receive support for <strong>4K textures, improved animation fidelity, higher-quality audio, and richer environmental detail.</strong> The update will also introduce a wide range of community-led bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Best of all, the entire update is completely free for all current and future owners of the METRO Redux games.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The METRO Redux Next-Gen Update will add native support for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. Each platform will also receive its own enhancements, including PSSR support on PlayStation 5 Pro, TSR upscaling and improved anti-aliasing on Xbox Series X, and Spatial Audio support across Xbox platforms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Console players will be able to experience the games in 4K at 60FPS or upscaled 4K at 120FPS, depending on their setup. PC players are also getting DLSS support, Spatial Audio, additional quality-of-life improvements, and a selection of frequently requested community fixes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the timing of this update may seem unexpected, there&#8217;s a pretty big reason behind it. The original METRO games have now surpassed a massive milestone, with the series&#8217; older titles reaching <strong>50 million copies sold</strong>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Iron Gate is back with an <a href="https://www.valheimgame.com/news/word-from-the-devs-what-a-month-/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.valheimgame.com/news/word-from-the-devs-what-a-month-/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">official blog post</a>.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s right, the devs have officially broken the silence on the future of Valheim. They have confirmed that the game will continue to get more content updates. As to when and what that content will be, they can&#8217;t reveal just yet. </p>

Valheim Isn’t Finished Yet; More Content Is Coming


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered is finally here, and over 10 years later, this <a href="https://all.gg/news/the-witcher-3-remastered-is-making-geralts-life-much-easier/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/the-witcher-3-remastered-is-making-geralts-life-much-easier/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beloved cult classic RPG</a> is still finding new ways to break records and, <a href="https://all.gg/news/the-witcher-3-songs-of-the-past-gets-a-new-gameplay-showcase/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/the-witcher-3-songs-of-the-past-gets-a-new-gameplay-showcase/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">of course, hunt monsters.</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A New Record for The Wild Hunt</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shockingly, with the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, the 10-year-old RPG has broken its all-time peak player count, meaning there are officially more Geralts running around than ever before. Within hours of yesterday&#8217;s update, Witcher 3 hit a new all-time record of <strong>120,975</strong> players <a href="https://steamdb.info/app/292030/charts/#max" data-type="link" data-id="https://steamdb.info/app/292030/charts/#max" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Steam</a>. This beats not only the returning-player spike at the start of the first season of the TV show, but also its original launch numbers.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered | Official Launch Trailer" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OlmuIckOX0c?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reason is that not only does everyone already own The Wild Hunt, since it&#8217;s been on sale for under $10 for years, but this update was free. So the only ones who had to pay full price were the unlucky few who somehow didn&#8217;t have a copy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus, this project also saw the return of many of the original devs from the initial release, so the ones who handcrafted this once-in-a-lifetime experience have returned to give it one more polish.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this update brought a ton of changes, too many to name, actually. But some of the highlights are:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Implemented an improved shading model.</li>



<li>Updated multiple textures and models based on assets from<em> The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project</em>.</li>



<li>Improved lighting and shading for grass and foliage.</li>



<li><strong>Updated the visual effects of Signs, including their upgraded versions.</strong></li>



<li>Added new visual effects for skills.</li>



<li><strong>Improved the skill system.</strong> Skills are now organized into a skill tree, and each skill has three ranks. Unlocking new skills now requires having the necessary prerequisite skills rather than spending a set number of skill points.</li>



<li><strong>Rebalanced the skill tree by refining skill bonus values, effects, and synergies.</strong></li>



<li>Renamed some skills to better reflect their effects.</li>



<li><strong>You can now Reforge your equipment to change its appearance without affecting its stats</strong>. Only master craftsmen (Yoana and Hattori) offer this service. Unlock appearances by adding new equipment and crafting diagrams to your inventory. Dyes from <em>Blood and Wine</em> applied to equipment will carry over to the reforged item.</li>



<li>Polished the combat behavior of many non-boss monsters, including their attack patterns, counterattacks, movement, reactions, flight, and the application of effects.</li>



<li>Added new finisher animations for Geralt.</li>



<li>Added new idle animations for Geralt.</li>



<li>Updated the Photo Mode UI and vastly expanded its features and options.</li>



<li><strong>Added Cross Platform Mod Support</strong>, an in-game tool powered by mod.io that allows you to easily browse and install player-created mods to customize your game.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The sheer number of engine upgrades has also raised the minimum and maximum requirements for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered. So, along with all of these monumental changes, here are the new system requirements:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s been 24 hours since Minecraft Dungeons II officially released, with thousands of players returning to the world of Minecraft in search of powerful weapons, loot, and a chance to explore <strong>the first new dimension Mojang has added in 14 years</strong>. While the gameplay and overall experience are proving to be a hit so far, a handful of technical problems and some reported gameplay shortcomings remain.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mixed Blocks</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So far, Minecraft Dungeons II is resonating with many fans and critics across almost all platforms.<a href="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-is-getting-major-changes-to-combat-gear-exploration/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-is-getting-major-changes-to-combat-gear-exploration/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Several improvements have been made since the first game</a>, including enchantments, fast travel, the overworld, and jump attacks. But so far, not all is well on PC.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Several users have reported having problems with Dungeons II so far. This is mainly due to <strong>account-linking issues that cause the game to crash, as well as broken Linux support.</strong> While fans are enjoying <a href="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-gives-us-a-new-look-at-the-sift/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-gives-us-a-new-look-at-the-sift/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the brand new Sift dimension</a>, which adds a bunch of colorful mobs, both friendly and hostile, others are leaving negative reviews in equal measure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the time of writing, Steam Reviews for Minecraft Dungeons II sit at 60% positive. While some boast that the <strong>sequel delivers an elevated experience over the first game</strong>, other fans question whether <strong>the game is too short</strong>. Some players report finishing the game in under 6 hours and say the new armor system didn&#8217;t really create more diverse builds.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="603" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Minecraft-Dungeons-II-Numbers.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18464" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Minecraft-Dungeons-II-Numbers.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Minecraft-Dungeons-II-Numbers-300x177.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/10/Minecraft-Dungeons-II-Numbers-768x452.webp 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All in all, Dungeons II seems like a mixed bag. If you enjoyed the first game with your friends, you will likely have fun with the sequel. On the other hand, you might run into problems on PC or notice some questionable balancing choices. <strong>Still, despite all this, Dungeons II is still proving to be a very fun time generally across the board.</strong></p>


Minecraft Dungeons II is off to a mixed start, with players praising its improvements while reporting PC issues, short playtime, and more.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Story Mini-Campaign: Terrors of the Deep</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The update introduces a brand-new mini-campaign consisting of three missions, each with an interconnected narrative similar to the base Battle for Tertium campaign.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The brand-new Spillway mission also features a terrifying new boss: <strong>the Prophet of Decay</strong>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to the new mission, the update is introducing a bunch of new weapons:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Ogryn Cruncher</strong></li>



<li><strong>Mk V Slab Shield</strong></li>



<li><strong>Ogryn Thugshot</strong></li>



<li><strong>Crusher Krourk Mk VII</strong></li>



<li><strong>Huntsman’s Shotgun</strong></li>



<li><strong>Double-Barrelled Shotgun Krourk Mk IV</strong></li>



<li><strong>Gromm Mk I Battle Maul</strong></li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of these weapons are brand-new marks that offer competitive sidegrades to existing weapons, but the star of the show has to be the <strong>Ogryn Cruncher</strong>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The update also brings plenty of other noteworthy changes. Fatshark has finally added an <strong>end-game screen</strong> that displays detailed stats for every player, so you&#8217;ll finally be able to see who was carving through the hordes the best.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Expeditions are also now giving more rewards at higher difficulties, with rewards now increasing based on how many players successfully extract. There&#8217;s also more detailed Operator Stats in the loadout and talents screens, showing exactly how much Toughness, Health, Stamina, Regeneration, and other stats your build has.</p>

On top of this, all of the talent trees are being slimmed down to make them easier to navigate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, the update is bringing the Death Korps of Krieg skins back to the shop, alongside a special live event through the <strong>Allies and Adversaries</strong> event.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From now until <strong>October 13</strong>, players who complete the brand-new <strong>Terrors of the Deep</strong> campaign can unlock a brand-new <strong>Insignia</strong> as a reward.</p>

Darktide Depths of the Damned Update Is Here


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In an exclusive interview with <a href="https://gameinformer.com/feature/2026/09/29/grand-theft-auto-vi-welcome-to-leonida" data-type="link" data-id="https://gameinformer.com/feature/2026/09/29/grand-theft-auto-vi-welcome-to-leonida">Game Informer</a>, Rockstar has revealed a massive amount of information about GTA VI. This ranges from exploring the expectations that came with development, to a breakdown of the games setting, and even to discussing new gameplay features. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Exceeding Expectations</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The interview begins with Rockstar Games&#8217; head of development Aaron Garbut explaining why they chose to return to Vice City for GTA VI. A factor that stems from the monumental expectations facing any Rockstar title. Having come from the great success of GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, the developers behind the upcoming GTA sequel knew that pushing the series further than ever before required some bold decisions. Garbut simply states that &#8220;the level for this game is frankly unprecedented and we don&#8217;t take that lightly.&#8221;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-1024x576.webp" alt="GTA 6 Vice City at Night" class="wp-image-17799" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/gta-vice-city-night.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This was the deciding factor for featuring such a storied location like Vice City in GTA VI. “We needed a way to exceed those expectations, to deliver something that resonated both with ourselves and the players – and this location was the natural choice.” Rockstar present Vice City as the perfect backdrop for Grand Theft Auto. A place that embodies the chaotic, exceptionally American aspects of the series.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vice City&#8217;s authenticity to GTA VI has been expanded to the cover a whole state itself. The fictional state for GTA VI, Leonida, is heavily based on Florida, and has been divided into six regions: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park. &#8220;Part of the job of the game&#8217;s story is to bring the player around the map in a way that feels authentic and interesting.&#8221; Explained Rupert Humphries, Rockstar&#8217;s senior vice president of narrative. &#8220;We don’t have time to take you everywhere, but we want you to be able to explore and get a feel for most of the places, cultures, and vibes.&#8221; This coupled with the trips Rockstar took to Florida for study illustrate how far they are willing to go for immersion.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The authenticity that Rockstar is trying to capture in GTA VI doesn&#8217;t stop at with its locations or narrative however. In another discussion with the vice president of art for lighting and rendering, Owen Shepherd, we get a new insight into how the skies above Leonida will behave during gameplay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We have re-engineered our weather system to make everything much more localized and persistent,&#8221; Shepherd explained, before further stating that they wanted to &#8220;achieve a sense of scale we haven’t felt before.” As an example, Leonida will featuring localized weather patterns. Meaning that during gameplay the weather can dynamically change from sun to cloud to rain as a player moves through the different regions of the map.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shepherd even confirms that hurricanes can occur. The article describes how “heavy clouds, strong winds, dense atmospherics, and a lot of rain combine so that everything is dripping wet, water is gushing off roof edges and lampposts, thunder rumbles and flashes of lightning light up the clouds dramatically.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Like Nothing Else</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is little doubt that GTA VI has become the most anticipated release of the year, and perhaps even the decade. There is even less uncertainty that Rockstar is going to have to move mountains to reach the expectations and hype surrounding its launch. It&#8217;s too early to say whether that&#8217;s been accomplished, but this statement from Garbut shows how Rockstar is aware and determined to make GTA VI the largest launch the studio has ever seen. “As the pressure for us on this project is huge, we dealt with that by doing our best to overdeliver. I don’t think we have ever created anything close to this before.”</p>

Deadlock Just Broke Its All-Time Player Count Record


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The latest major Deadlock update brought a bunch of brand-new features, both in-game and via some quality-of-life improvements. <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alongside new heroes</a> and <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlocks-city-never-sleeps-update-completely-reworks-the-map/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlocks-city-never-sleeps-update-completely-reworks-the-map/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a total revamp of the main map</a>, we got new features, including new health bars, HUD enhancements, and more.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tons of Quality of Life Updates</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There&#8217;s a lot that&#8217;s gotten changed both visually and under the hood for this Deadlock patch, so let&#8217;s dive in really quick. Firstly, there&#8217;s been a massive update to the pings and communication system. You can practically ping everything now. There&#8217;s a new minimap and top bar wheel. You can ping all of your abilities, and there are new targets such as ziplines, bridge buffs, and a ton more.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="740" height="835" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Pings.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18439" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Pings.webp 740w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Pings-266x300.webp 266w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are now over 15,000 new updated pings, and with voicelines to match.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking of voicelines, this update adds new pre-match conversations between new and existing heroes, increasing the total from over 700 to 1500. That&#8217;s over 10,000 non-ping voice lines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can also listen to all of them via the new Dialogue Player in the hideout!</p>

Deadlock Just Got a Massive Quality-of-Life Overhaul


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deadlock’s City Never Sleeps Update is really shaking up the entire state of the game. Not only do we have <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-city-never-sleeps-update-adds-6-new-heroes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">another 6 heroes</a> to vote on, but <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlocks-city-never-sleeps-update-completely-reworks-the-map/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlocks-city-never-sleeps-update-completely-reworks-the-map/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Cursed Apple just got a massive revamp</a> with new locations, items, and more. We also have an update to the shop and a brand new cursed one as well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Broker</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This Deadlock update brings a brand-new merchant to the game: the Broker. This creepy lad is selling all those wonderful, dangerous, and very illegal items to the denizens of the Cursed Apple. Everyone wants power, and the Broker offers it for a price.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During your games, the <strong>Broker opens his shop once the match hits the 30-minute mark</strong>. Seeking him out lets you turn your already purchased items into Corrupted variants. These Corrupted items give your <strong>normal items a massive power boost at the cost of a negative downside</strong>. This downside is somewhat random, but thankfully you can view the effects before you make your purchase.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, for example, you can give him your Rapid Recharge. Corrupting it will possibly grant you more ability charges, faster recharge time, and more Spirit Power and CDR. But the random debuff you could get is that you lose Stamina and some Stamina Regen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultimately, it&#8217;s your choice, and the same upsides and downsides apply to everyone in the match, based on the item. So the upgrades and downgrades will differentiate between games. But thankfully, this doesn&#8217;t mean that if 4 people Corrupt their Rapid Recharge, everyone gets the same nerfs and buffs.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, this new shop might not be around for long. The official page says that, firstly, he can pop up in any of the 4 new districts. And also, he might disappear from New York once the first new hero makes their arrival.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>So much of the community is guessing his brand-new shop will only be around for three days. Or perhaps there is yet another reveal coming for the Broker soon.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quality of Life Shop Updates</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the normal shop, a brand-new section is available via the<strong> Popular Items tab</strong>. This part of the store shows what items are popular for the hero you are currently playing as. Plus,<strong> it auto-updates with the meta changes based on global stats</strong>, and it even shows you at what stage of the game that particular item is bought, so you know what&#8217;s a good early-game vs. mid-game item.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also a new Item Filter setting you can use to browse through all the items that just have a particular stat you need. They also updated the build browser for better previews and easier build copy/pasting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Deadlock’s City Never Sleeps update adds the mysterious Broker, a risky new Corrupted item system, and several major shop improvements.


Deadlock’s City Never Sleeps Adds a New Cursed Shop

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deadlock&#8217;s primary three-lane map in the Cursed Apple just got another massive facelift. All three lanes have gotten massive thematic upgrades, atmosphere, locations, creatures, and much more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So let&#8217;s get started, but one thing is important to remember: you might recognize a handful of locations from the old map, but you are gonna need to learn a bunch of new locations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, Yellow, Blue &amp; Green lanes all now look massively different from one another.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yellow lane, or York, holds a lot of the industrial and financial aspects of New York. From big locations like the Stock Exchange, to the Seaport Dock, or even getting a close look at the Old Fairfax Factories.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Blue Lane, or Broadway, now houses the nightlife of the Cursed Apple. Everything from Uptown, Times Square, and Downtown. From the bustling nightclubs, shops, and lots of city attractions. It&#8217;s smooth and paved, unlike the other lanes, which have more varied hills and slopes from leftover parts of industrial projects.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, Green Lane, or Greenwich, holds more wildlife, arts, and cryptic creatures. From Umbria University to Central Park, all the way down to the Brownstones. There&#8217;s a lot more life and mystery lurking in these communities and woods.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Jungle</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/haunted_slums_01-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18427" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/haunted_slums_01-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/haunted_slums_01-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/haunted_slums_01-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/haunted_slums_01-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/haunted_slums_01.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Between the lanes also houses a bunch of new sites, smells, and horrors. There are now 4 districts, hidden between the 3 primary lanes. The Theater, Chinatown, Haunted Lot, Plaza Districts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each of these areas includes not just changes to the overall map and landscape of Deadlock, but comes with a bunch of brand new jungle camps, or now referred to as Haunts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Haunts are now the neutral camps you are used to farming between waves, but now filled with so much class and character depending on their district.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="741" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Haunts-1024x741.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18428" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Haunts-1024x741.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Haunts-300x217.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Haunts-768x556.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Haunts.webp 1254w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, wandering into Chinatown, the jungle camps, aka Haunts, are now Festival Spirits, souls encased inside festive lanterns, or Crabbage Pots, plants given twisted shape and life thanks to whatever is in the city&#8217;s water supply.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every district has different Haunts, and a lot have different abilities and will now actually move around in their territory, rather than stand still and auto-attack you. Some can explode like the Barrel Mimics, and some throw small little bombs like the Festival Spirits.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Points Of Interest</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="990" height="871" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-POI.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18418" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-POI.webp 990w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-POI-300x264.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-POI-768x676.webp 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each district also has some new interesting and some cases breathtaking locations. Inside the Plaza, there sits a small area shrouded in purple fog, aka the Sunken Plaza. This small landmark holds a bunch of jungle caps, Sinner Sacrifices, but comes at the cost of dulling your senses to the outside world. No one can see or hear outside, so you never know who will jump into the mist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Or ascend to the top of the Chinatown Bell Tower, seeking all the rewards at the top, at the cost of striking the bell to get them. The Sunken Plaza invites you to stay low, whereas the Bell Tower&#8217;s rings echo across the entire map. So play it safe, or don&#8217;t.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Map Items</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="762" height="928" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Map-Stuff.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-18419" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Map-Stuff.webp 762w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-City-Never-Sleeps-Map-Stuff-246x300.webp 246w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, there are also a bunch of new map items around the streets of the Cursed Apple. Now while doing your box route, you might encounter Tough Crates, which require a heavy melee to break open, but promise extra souls.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Buff Containers also got a facelift. The golden statues now also include Spirit Resist, Bullet Resist, Ability Range, and Move Speed permanent bonuses, just as they always did, but now with a new thematic look.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, while moving around the map, you can see some flying green apples, called Healing Snacks. These little apples grant you a healing orb if you come into contact with them, providing you with some extra healing while you roam around the map.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But easily one of the more important additions are the new Steam Vents. These act like brushes from other MOBAs, providing you with invisibility and a slight amount of regeneration whilst you stand on them. These are found sparingly around the map, but now make for great ambush positions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Deadlock’s City Never Sleeps update completely transforms the Cursed Apple, adding new districts, Haunts, landmarks, and plenty of map changes.


Deadlock’s City Never Sleeps Update Completely Reworks the Map


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deadlock just dropped the brand-new patch, the City Never Sleeps update, and, like many fans&#8217; predictions, it has, in fact, changed the entire game once again. This update brings a monumental number of changes, but most importantly, we have <strong>another 6 heroes to vote on in the coming weeks.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meet the Locals</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The City Never Sleeps update for Deadlock is bringing a total of 6 new heroes for players to vote on. Much like previous voting rounds, every player may earn a vote after completing a match. Your first match of the day earns you some extra votes, so if you really want a certain hero to drop first, make sure you get your daily match in.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aside from that, the brand new heroes up in the spotlight are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nurse Harrow</li>



<li>Rat King</li>



<li>Solomon</li>



<li>Deadman Danny</li>



<li>Baba</li>



<li>Violet</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Voting is live right now, with the first release set for October 2nd. Afterward, expect to see two heroes released a week on <strong>Tuesdays and Fridays at 2:00 PM PT.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>All voting is now done in the new Pregame lobby</strong>. So you gotta convince your allies to make the right choice. The winning team’s votes will count as double. Starting with the first hero release, playing will also earn you priority tokens.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Funnily enough, one of the heroes in this roster is one the community somewhat predicted: the Rat King. There have been a handful of hints or speculation going back as far as the <a href="https://all.gg/news/new-deadlock-patch-adds-6-heroes-new-mode-patron-reworks/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/new-deadlock-patch-adds-6-heroes-new-mode-patron-reworks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Old Gods New Blood update</a> with the expansion of the sewer tunnel sections Rem or Mo&amp;Krill can access.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But don&#8217;t stand around; get out and win some matches in the brand new streets of the Cursed Apple, and cast your vote!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Deadlock’s City Never Sleeps update is finally here, bringing six new heroes to vote on alongside a massive list of gameplay changes.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With this months GTA Online event ending soon, players should make sure they aren&#8217;t missing out. From the last minute bonuses, to the massively increased rewards, and even some exclusive cosmetics, there&#8217;s still a lot to grab before this event leaves.</p>

There&#8217;s still time to make the most of these opportunities before they disappear, and the more dedicated players can find some gifts for themselves as well.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we mentioned last week, from the 24th &#8211; 30th GTA Online has massively increased <a href="https://all.gg/news/huge-nightclub-bonuses-in-gta-online/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/huge-nightclub-bonuses-in-gta-online/">nightclub bonuses</a> for all players. This ranges from extra GTA$ and RP from nightclub missions, to a free property for new players. Anyone interested should make sure to complete as many nightclub activities as possible while the bonuses are still here.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alongside these preexisting benefits Rockstar has also issued a challenge to anyone who can demonstrate their &#8220;entrepreneurial hustle.&#8221; During this final week, any player who manages to sell GTA$ 1,000,000 across all their businesses will receive GTA$ 1,000,000 in return as well as the time limited Retro Fruit Tracksuit. The boosted nightclub missions should make this easier, so players should try their best to grab this while they still can.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additionally, Business Rivalries final weekly challenge bonus has a gift for the committed player. As long as one of the previous weekly challenges has been completed, players can login and collect a Penaud La Coureuse (Sports) for free at Legendary Motorsport. This also comes with a HSW upgrade from Hao&#8217;s Special Works on the house for players on current gen hardware.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All together, Business Rivalries has offered players a month of massively increased rewards, unique cosmetics, and large vehicle discounts. These bonuses leave at the end of September, so make sure to earn as much as you can.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A major update about <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlocks-next-major-update-is-dropping-next-week/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlocks-next-major-update-is-dropping-next-week/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the upcoming Deadlock patch</a> just dropped in the official Discord today. Yoshi is back, and it looks like the long-awaited patch will finally be shipping tomorrow. Alongside the new content, the current ranked season is also getting extended.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">24 Hours Remain</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;ve been around the Deadlock community for a while, or even spend some time in the official Discord, you&#8217;ll probably know just how obsessive the fans can get when tracking internal build updates, developer activity, and pretty much anything that could hint at a new patch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the community&#8217;s favorite ways to predict a major update is by tracking pizza deliveries to the studio. Yes, you read that right. There are several community trackers, including one for a local pizza place near the studio, alongside other trackers monitoring developer activity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yoshi decided to poke a little fun at this today by dropping two messages in the Discord. The first mentioned an incoming pizza order, which is about as close to a confirmation as you can get that <strong>the Deadlock patch is coming tomorrow.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="785" height="648" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-Yoshi-Pizza.png" alt="" class="wp-image-18403" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-Yoshi-Pizza.png 785w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-Yoshi-Pizza-300x248.png 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-Yoshi-Pizza-768x634.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second message confirmed that the current ranked season is being extended due to the upcoming major content patch. After all, it would be a little strange to launch a brand-new ranked season alongside a major content update.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, all in all, <strong>tomorrow looks to be the big day.</strong> As for exactly what&#8217;s coming with the patch, we&#8217;ll just have to wait and find out.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="761" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-Yoshi-Rank-Delay-1024x761.png" alt="" class="wp-image-18402" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-Yoshi-Rank-Delay-1024x761.png 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-Yoshi-Rank-Delay-300x223.png 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-Yoshi-Rank-Delay-768x571.png 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/09/Deadlock-Yoshi-Rank-Delay.png 1260w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

Deadlock’s next major patch looks set to arrive tomorrow, and the current ranked season is being extended alongside the update.


Deadlock Patch Drops Tomorrow, Ranked Season Extended


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The success of Valheim 1.0 hasn&#8217;t gone unnoticed. Since the launch of <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-1-0-is-here-with-the-deep-north-update/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Deep North</a>, Valheim has <a href="https://all.gg/news/valheim-just-hit-its-second-highest-player-count/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/valheim-just-hit-its-second-highest-player-count/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">steadily climbed back up Steam&#8217;s charts</a>, spending weeks among the platform&#8217;s top 10 and even breaking into the top five. Now, Iron Gate has another reason to celebrate, as Valheim has been nominated in three categories at this year&#8217;s Golden Joystick Awards.</p>

Players around the world begin to <a href="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-is-getting-major-changes-to-combat-gear-exploration/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-is-getting-major-changes-to-combat-gear-exploration/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">prepare for another adventure</a> into the dungeons of Minecraft&#8217;s Overworld and the brand-new Sift dimension. For those planning to play on PC, you might want to take a moment to see if your hardware can run Dungeons II; you likely can, but it&#8217;s always good to check.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Min/Recommended Specs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re planning to grab a copy of Minecraft Dungeons II, it&#8217;s always good to double-check that your system can run it. We are fairly certain that your system will be able to run it, or practically any system, especially at the Minimum Requirements:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system</li>



<li><strong>OS:</strong> Windows 10 64‑bit (1703 or newer)</li>



<li><strong>Processor:</strong> Intel Core i3‑8100, AMD Ryzen 3 2200G, or equivalent</li>



<li><strong>Memory:</strong> 8 GB RAM</li>



<li><strong>Graphics:</strong> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, AMD Radeon RX 560, or equivalent dedicated graphics card with at least 2 GB VRAM</li>



<li><strong>DirectX:</strong> Version 11</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Recommended Requirements don&#8217;t climb much higher outside of the expected RAM increase:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system</li>



<li><strong>OS:</strong> Windows 10 64‑bit (1703 or newer)</li>



<li><strong>Processor:</strong> Intel Core i5‑8400, AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or equivalent or higher</li>



<li><strong>Memory:</strong> 16 GB RAM</li>



<li><strong>Graphics:</strong> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, AMD Radeon RX 580, with at least 6 GB VRAM or equivalent</li>



<li><strong>DirectX:</strong> Version 11</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, just in case you haven&#8217;t grabbed a copy yet, you can still snag the preorder bonuses by buying either the <a href="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-editions-standard-vs-deluxe-rewards/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-editions-standard-vs-deluxe-rewards/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">standard or deluxe versions.</a></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Minecraft Dungeons II is releasing on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, or Switch 2, and it will be available on Xbox Game Pass.

There isn&#8217;t a preload available, but the download shouldn&#8217;t take too long since the first game was only around 6 GB, without DLC.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Plus, you still have time to get yourself a copy, because like any modern game, there is a preorder bonus, and the option between the <a href="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-editions-standard-vs-deluxe-rewards/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/minecraft-dungeons-ii-editions-standard-vs-deluxe-rewards/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">standard and the deluxe edition.</a></p>
