Free “Endless Expeditions” Update Now Available for ‘Pacific Drive’ [Trailer]
Ironwood Studios has rewarded those 1 million plus Pacific Drive players with their most substantial update yet with “Endless Expeditions”. Packed with new features and improvements headlined by the addition of Expeditions and the introduction of the Suspend feature, the update is further celebrated with a 40% discount for Pacific Drive on Steam until April 15 and PlayStation until April 23.
The Endless Expeditions update adds two highly requested features to Pacific Drive. For roguelite fans, Expeditions starts you in the garage with an ever-changing set of challenges and restrictions, generating new routes, and ramping up the difficulty to ensure that every journey feels fresh. You’re also now able to use the new Suspend feature to save your progress at any time, exit the game and return when you’re ready to pick things up again in the game.
Other additions in the update include quality of life improvements, such as upgrades to essential tools like the Plasma Scrapper and Thermal Vacuum, UX features and the addition of Ida’s Exchange. Ida is a trader who offers players new parts while in the Zone in exchange for scrap material, negating the need to go back to their garage.
And no road trip would be complete without the perfect soundtrack, and the radio playlist for Pacific Drive is now even better with 21 new tracks from new and returning artists. The Pacific Drive Radio Soundtrack Vol. 2 is also available to listen to on your actual road trips via streaming music services too.
Pacific Drive is available for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. It has also been shortlisted for Best Debut in this year’s BAFTA Game Awards and Best Game Writing at the 2025 Nebula Awards.
Illfonic and Gun Interactive have revealed another map for Halloween: The Game in the Orange Grove Estates. Not only that, but fans can finally start pre-ordering the physical game on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, which will arrive on October 6.
Meanwhile, the digital version is sticking with the September 8 release date.
Teaming up with Nighthawk Interactive, there will be two editions for the physical edition: the Standard Edition will be available for MSRP $39.99, while the Limited Collector’s Edition will be available for MSRP $149.99.
The Standard Edition of Halloween: The Game will include a copy of the game for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, an exclusive poster, and advance access to the Michael Myers Clown skin and two civilian cosmetics.
Meanwhile, the Limited Collector’s Edition will include a copy of the game, plus an exclusive Trick or Treat Studios Shape Jump variant action figure, exclusive lenticular art, an exclusive poster, advance access to the Michael Myers Samhain and Clown skins, advance access to the two civilian cosmetics from the Standard edition and two additional civilian cosmetics, and more surprises to be revealed at a later date.
As for the Orange Grove Estates, this is an upscale neighborhood in one of Haddonfield’s affluent corners. Multi-story houses surround a playground and basketball court, and expansive yards turn every fence and hedge into a fresh hiding (or hunting) ground. The map’s open layout reshapes how players move between structures, opening up new opportunities for collaboration while widening the lines of sight that can give a hero (or The Shape) away. The larger, multi-story homes also introduce precarious upper-floor encounters that every player will need to account for.
“Every neighborhood in Halloween: The Game is designed to change how you play, and Orange Grove Estates is our most ambitious map yet,” said Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer, IllFonic. “The open layout and multi-story homes force players to rethink their every action as it could compromise their line of sight, collaboration, and escape, whether they are playing as a Civilian or Myers. Players will learn to dip, dodge, and scan surroundings for options to find an escape route. Pairing this map’s reveal with our physical editions felt like the perfect way to celebrate the physical pre-order launch.”
In addition to the physical editions, Halloween: The Game will launch digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
