Greetings, Adventurers!
Nightveil Hallow returns as Baalphazu, Marquis of Terror rises once again on October 18 until November 14. Banish the shadowy demon back to the darkness, don unique costumes, and trick-or-treat for new candy rewards. You can also purchase new and returning event-specific items in the Event Shop.
Transform into some of your favorite characters like Captain Thorpe to celebrate the spooky season. Costumes can be obtained for the duration of the event from Town centerpieces and Baalphazu. Here’s the full selection:
Captain Thorpe
Adiana
Anubian Reaver
Lost Monarch
“Thematically costumes were very fitting for Nightveil,” said System Designer Joel Clift. “Personally I look forward to role playing as Thorpe in the open world and murdering a few denizens of Aeternum. Costumes also open up many doors to create even more memorable interactions in the future.”
Once you’re in costume, search each town for hidden Treat Baskets. These have a chance to contain new Baalphazu armor pieces (10% chance), 2 Nightveil Tokens (3 times daily), and a new item—candy. This limited-time consumable comes in 4 flavors. Visit multiple Treat Baskets to discover what surprises linger behind every bite.
Items marked with daily limits will reset at 5 AM local time. For example, if a player grabs their third set of Nightveil Tokens from Treat Baskets at 4:58 AM, they’ll be able to earn another at 5:01 AM.
“I wanted to embrace the aspect of ‘Trick-or-Treat’ and get silly with the item design,“ said Joel. ”Some may help you greatly with event activities while others may have unexpected consequences. I can’t wait to see the stories and interactions that come from these small additions.“
Shapes in the mist! Shrieks in the night! The demon Baalphazu, Marquis of Terror, and his horde of ghoulish Pumpkinites are spreading a living nightmare across Aeternum! Aid Salvatore the Mad in his quest to banish these foul terrors and collect a bounty of Nightveil Hallow rewards!
The Level 66 world boss is back with a vengeance. Join large groups of Adventurers to defeat Baalphazu for new armor pieces (5 times daily), costumes (3 times daily), and Ichor.
Learn more about Baalphazu’s design, lore, Al, and audio, plus insight into each aspect of the event . You’ll also get a glimpse at early Nightveil Hallow concept art from before Baalphazu could cast their first shadow over Aeternum.
Salvatore the Mad can be found at any Cauldron throughout the towns of Aeternum. Bring him Ichor to prove your victory over Baalphazu and finish the Nightveil Hallow questline. Upon completion, you’ll receive the Nightveil Hallow Cache:
5 Nightveil Tokens
2 Random Nightveil Hallow weapon patterns
Access to the Nightveil Sentinel section of the Event

Fan of the frightening, but stuck at a loose end this Halloween night? There’s something worth trying if you want an unusual experience on All Hallow’s Eve. The Silent Hill: Ascension release kicks off tomorrow, the spookiest of days.
GOG has long been known as the premiere destination for DRM-free PC releases, which comes in handy for those who don’t want to deal with DRM either preventing a game from being played, making it play worse performance-wise, or just being annoying with constant online check-ins. Sony has become known as the destination for long-form single-player epics, really beginning with the God of War series on the PS2 and continuing that trend with Uncharted – making today’s announcement that both series will be available in some form in a DRM-free format soon being rather fitting. Sony has released several of their games via GOG and GOG is marking the season not only with a big sale, but also the announcement that the 2018 God of War that got a PC release a couple of years ago will now see a DRM-free release via GOG alongside Uncharted: the Legacy of Thieves Collection.
The Steam Halloween sale, formally titled Steam Scream: The Revenge, is live now with big discounts on some of the best horror games out there.
'Tis the season to dress up in cool outfits, stay out late, eat too much candy, and get some good deals on videogames in a Steam sale. Steam Scream: The Revenge, as it's formally known, is live now and runs until November 2, with discounts of up to 90% on all kinds of games and daily free rewards from the Steam Points Shop.
While Halloween isn't massively celebrated here in Oz, we sure do take a heightened interest in those spooky sales. (Because, hell, I'll break out the festive spirit if there's up to 85% off in my future.) That's all I really have time to say, intro wise, as I suspect today's deals on Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Resident Evil 4 will be blink and you'll miss 'em affairs. Happy hunting!
Now's your chance to snag Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, Dredge, Death's Door, and thousands of other games at great low prices.
Amnesia: The Bunker is one of the most terrifying survival horror games out there. As if to poke fun at what scared players earlier this year, developer Frictional Games has now added to the horror.
Amnesia: The Bunker has received the Halloween update, adding a Shell Shock difficulty that ups the challenge players can face in the game. In addition, Amnesia: The Bunker has also received a Custom mode, allowing players to change more than 30 settings to curate the experience to suit themselves.
Disney Dreamlight Valley fans are reveling in a spooktacular Halloween festivity infused with the eerie mysticism of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The Haunted Holiday Star Path has a chokehold on Disney Dreamlight Valley players for all the right reasons.

Video games are expensive. We don’t have to tell you that. But the latest generation of video game console platforms also brought in a price hike for new AAA video games. That can be frustrating for some players who were already not fond of paying the standard $59.99. Now, we’re forced to dig deeper into our wallets and pay $69.99. Ultimately, this just means consumers will be more selective about the new games they purchase. Additionally, that means developers will have to deliver a solid product to persuade players to pick up their latest games. Fortunately, sales are going on regularly, and today, we have one to highlight for PlayStation players.
