If you’re unfamiliar with the original Costume Quest, I would describe it as a charming love letter to Halloween. I was immediately drawn to it because it celebrated the undisputed king of all the holidays, and by the time October comes around I’m you can bet I’m looking to get my Halloween fix. I’ve even returned to the game for another playthrough every October since it released in 2010. It’s not a long game, maybe 4-5 hours, and it’s a fantastic way to spend a couple October evenings.
Costume Quest 2 is clearly something I’m looking forward to, and not just so I can update one of my annual Halloween traditions.
It promises to bring DoubleFine’s trademark combination of quirk and humor and package it in a game that can be enjoyed by anyone. There’s no blood or gore, we can leave that to Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within, both of which are also coming this October.
It’s currently available for preorder on Steam for $14.99, or you can spend $5 more and get both games on the cheap.
Costume Quest hits PC on October 7, with PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Wii U versions following sometime before Halloween.
