Three Monstrosities Hit ‘War Dragons’ for Halloween

Published

So yeah, every game developer that can get into the Halloween swing of things is doing so. One such developer, Pocket Gems, wrote in to tell us about part of their Fall 2017 update for their mobile medieval real-time strategy game, War Dragons, which looks pretty badass.

Already filled with more than one hundred types of dragons, the three newest dragons are part of the “Nightmare Collection”, and certainly fit the bill for Halloween. Chimerak is a cobbled-together dragon resembling something out of a Frankenstein nightmare, while Spindra is an spider-like dragon that arachnophobes should enjoy (or not). Lastly, Necryx is an undead dragon that’s certainly seen better days.

The game (which is free to play on iOS and Android), has scored high on both the App Store and Google Play, with over 16 million downloads. For more info on the game, head over to the War Dragons official site.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
