‘Maid of Sker’, ‘Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut’ Highlight Xbox Games With Gold For October
October is right around the corner (as if you didn’t already know), so you know horror is getting a focus for many companies. And Microsoft is doing just that with October’s lineup of Games With Gold, focusing on Wales Interactive’s Maid of Sker and Blue Wizard Digital’s Slayaway Camp.
Available from October 1 until the end of the month, Slayaway Camp has you indulging in your inner slasher while solving puzzles in order to get at those pesky teens. The game is also available on the Google Play Store and Steam. Meanwhile, Maid of Sker (which happened to release earlier this year in July for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam) steeps itself in Welsh folklore, where you must utilize stealth in order to survive the horrors to avoid The Quiet Ones. Maid of Sker will be available from October 16 to November 15.
Other games included in the pack are two Xbox 360 titles playable on the Xbox One in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (available from October 1 to 15) and Costume Quest (available October 16 to 30).

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
