Part 2, and final for this week, of the news:

 

You can ride a unicorn in Assassin's Creed: Origins, just like the ancient Egyptians did
http://www.pcgamer.com/you-can-ride-a-unicorn-in-assassins-creed-origins-just-like-the-ancient-egyptians-did/
While skulking around ancient Egypt looking for people to neck-stab in Assassin's Creed: Origins (our review in progress is right here), you'll note that most people's transportation of choice are either horses or camels. Well, there's no need to succumb to peer pressure. You've already got a magical eagle, why not a mythical unicorn mount, too?

>>And it looks like you can also pet cats.

 

Fortnite Battle Royale adds new potion and character customisation in Halloween update
http://www.pcgamer.com/fortnite-battle-royale-adds-new-potion-and-character-customisation-in-halloween-update/
Fortnite has been given the customary Halloween once over in an update that adds some ghoulish cosmetics including a pumpkin rocket launcher, but the more substantial changes come in the popular (and completely free) Battle Royale game mode. Developer Epic Games has added a new potion called Slurp Juice, which regenerates one point each of health and shields per second for 25 seconds, and can get you back up to full health. Previously, knocking back the game's only potion would boost your shields by 50 points instantly.

Absolver update adds prestige system which allows players to respec
http://www.pcgamer.com/absolver-update-adds-prestige-system-which-allows-players-to-respec/
One of the toughest things for new Absolver players to figure out is where to spend ability points. It isn't perfectly clear what's going to benefit you the most later, especially since you might switch fighting styles, and some attributes have diminishing returns after a certain level. Finally, we have a way to respec.

 

Blizzard warns Hearthstone players over fake Fireside Gatherings
http://www.pcgamer.com/blizzard-warns-hearthstone-players-over-fake-fireside-gatherings/
Nemsy Necrofizzle, as Tim explained earlier this month, is a new Warlock-class Hearthstone skin that Blizzard is offering exclusively to participants of Fireside Gatherings, the fan meet-up events that bring players together for some face-to-face card-throwing. It's a really fun idea, and of course it's gone terribly wrong. Disgruntled players have taken to Reddit to complain about fake events that leave them without the skin, sometimes after traveling long distances, and at least one guy claims he ended up in actual physical danger.

http://www.pcgamer.com/pc-building-simulator-is-gaining-the-ability-to-benchmark-your-proposed-build/
PC Building Simulator, a game about building a PC from scratch that was developed by an 18-year-old student in Romania, is growing up fast.

Digital Extremes, the developer behind the massive free-to-play hit Warframe, has announced that it is halting development on its new shooter The Amazing Eternals. First teased back in May and then officially announced in August, The Amazing Eternals was supposed to be a Overwatch-style hero shooter with a collectible card game twist, where players would collect and play cards that fundamentally alter their abilities during a match.

 

Try the demo for this 2D platformer about defending your dungeon from adventurers
http://www.pcgamer.com/try-the-demo-for-this-2d-platformer-about-defending-your-dungeon-from-adventurers/
Skelattack is not about the many brave adventurers plundering a dungeon's depths. It's about Skully, an enchanted skeleton who doesn't want adventurers poking around his dungeon. It's a fittingly spooky 2D platformer with an anti-hero twist, and you can try it for yourself via the free demo available on GameJolt.

 

D&D-inspired roguelike Soulblight is all about role-playing
http://www.pcgamer.com/dd-inspired-roguelike-soulblight-is-all-about-role-playing/
Polish developer My Next Games hates to see players obsess over grinding experience in RPGs. In lieu of bigger numbers, they reckon the genre could use a shot of good old-fashioned role-playing, and they intend to give it one with Soulblight, a top-down roguelike that's fundamentally about writing and playing a character. It's currently on Kickstarter, with My Next Games asking for $US11,729 to bring it to life. At the time of writing, its campaign has earned $US3,311 and will run for another 30 days.
