‘Tomb Raider’ Enters ‘The Temple of the Witch’ Next Week
I’ve been eagerly waiting for word of a release date for the spooky Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch DLC that was announced at The Game Awards last month, and today, that patience has finally paid off. When the Baba Yaga story expansion arrives next week, it’ll take Rise of the Tomb Raider into Blair Witch territory.
“Deep in the wilds of Siberia, there is a forbidden forest that no man will enter, where a Soviet expedition vanished without a trace. Lara enters the Wicked Vale in search of a missing man, but what she finds is a nightmare that she cannot explain. Is the witch, Baba Yaga, truly haunting the forbidden forest? Or is there more to the legend?”
A witch with a goofy name, a missing expedition and a forbidden forest that’s home to a nightmare so nightmarish, that it cannot be explained? Surely you’re on the baba-bandwagon by now?
Baba Yaga is more than side story, as it will also come with a special bow and outfit for Lara, frightening new enemies and a tomb filled with puzzles and treasures. It’s coming to Xbox One on Tuesday, January 26. Rise of the Tomb Raider is headed to PC on Jan 28, so a PC release might not be that far off. PS4 owners will have to continue being patient, unfortunately.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
