Apex 'Blood Pact' Factions, Rust Monsters & CoD 'The Haunting' | FOX on Games - Video Game News & Industry Analysi
Halloween multiplayer events reach a fever pitch across the industry. Apex Legends takes players back to a nighttime, fog-covered Haunted Kings Canyon in the "Blood Pact" event, featuring a Beasts vs. Demons wildcard faction system, enemy-seeking Rev Shell grenades, and jump-scare loot bins. Over in Rust, the annual Halloween update returns with trick-or-treat candy runs and a mad-scientist Frankenstein monster-building mechanic. Meanwhile, Dead by Daylight bids farewell to Michael Myers as the Halloween DLC departs the store to make way for IllFonic's standalone game, countered by new Void realm updates and Ghost Face cosmetics. Finally, Activision unleashes "The Haunting" across Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone, transforming Resurgence into Haunted Hollow with an intense 64-player "Giant Infected" zombie survival mode.
