Hyakki Castle, as we saw in September, is a grid-based dungeon crawler—think Eye of the Beholder if you're old, Legend of Grimrock if you're not—that trades conventional D&D-style fantasy trappings for the 18th-century Edo period of Japan. Today publisher Happinet revealed the launch date of November 15, and also a new trailer that showcases some of the monsters and puzzles you'll encounter in the castle's haunted halls.

Boyfriend Dungeon is an isometric action game with procedurally generated dungeons and, crucially, swords you can romance.

Ubisoft has kicked off a "Halloween-inspired" event in For Honor called Feast of the Otherworld that adds a monstrous new mode to the game called Endless March. It takes place on Dominion maps, but features skeletons in place of soldiers, and they're a lot more dangerous than the usual fleshy hordes of minions.

http://www.pcgamer.com/team-fortress-2s-jungle-inferno-update-will-launch-today/
Normally it’s pretty hard to halt an inferno, but Team Fortress 2’s Jungle Inferno update, which was meant to launch yesterday, seems to have been more of a small blaze. Valve is rectifying this, fanning the flames and adding some finishing touches, and it should be out today.

Valve’s been tormenting Dota 2 players for a while now. The 7.07 update, The Dueling Fates, was coming, but when? And what would it bring with it? There were teasers, sure, but not much solid information. Lost and confused, players started wandering the streets, grabbing strangers and demanding to know when The Dueling Fates was coming out. The strangers didn’t know.
But now we all do! Finally, Valve has announced the release date for the big update, and it’s soon: November 1. Now everyone can just relax.
