Let Steam Spotlight Be Your Guide to the Best Horror Games On Steam
We have a new series on our YouTube channel, and it likes it when you call it Steam Spotlight in that sexy low voice you do so well. The goal of these videos, which we plan to upload with as much consistency as we can muster, is to help guide you, dear reader, toward making smart purchasing decisions. Steam can be a scary place, it’s best you don’t go there alone.
In this episode you’ll find five very different games, from the the existentially devastating SOMA, to the surprisingly creepy Oxenfree, the endlessly enjoyable co-op shooter Killing Floor 2 — a must-play for gorehounds — the psychedelic horror game Layers of Fear, and Dark Souls II, which is more or less the video game equivalent to being in an abusive relationship with a LARPer.
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.
