https://www.pcgamer.com/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-system-requirements/
Update: EA has sent out a notification that the 32GB RAM recommendation has been reduced to 16GB, and is now indicated as such on the Origin page. It didn't say why the change was made, but I've asked and will update again if I receive a reply.

Activision has revealed more about what we've got to look forward to in the Special Ops mode that will be included with the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot coming later this month. The four-player co-op modes will see an alliance led by the stalwart forces of good and righteousness at the CIA and FSB working to disrupt the operations of the global terrorist organization Al-Qatala.

https://www.pcgamer.com/here-are-hearthstones-new-1000-win-class-portraits/
In September, Blizzard teased a Hearthstone Halloween event that would include, among other tricks and treats, new class portraits that will require 1000 wins per class to be earned. The big event got underway today, which means players can finally get a look at what all that effort is going toward.

Argonus and the Gods of Stone is an old-school adventure inspired by '70s fantasy films
https://www.pcgamer.com/argonus-and-the-gods-of-the-stone-is-an-old-school-adventure-inspired-by-70s-fantasy-films/
Argonus and the Gods of Stone is a new free-roaming adventure game from Zojoi, the maker of the (very) retro revival Shadowgate. It's not as punishing as its predecessor—it won't instantly kill you for looking in the wrong direction—but even so it's a very old-school sort of experience that has you shipwrecked on an island in mythological ancient Greece that's filled with alarmingly lifelike stone statues.

Get a sneak peek at League of Legends' 2019 Halloween skins
https://www.pcgamer.com/league-of-legends-halloween-skins-2019/
It's October, which means Halloween is on the way, which means every game on earth is going to make some money by selling us images of classic horror monsters plastered on and stretched over characters with completely different anatomies. It's my favorite time of year.

Colorful Playtonic platformer Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair bounced onto PCs today. After only being revealed back in June, the 2.5D spinoff of 2017's Yooka-Laylee has arrived on both Steam and GOG. A bright and boisterous trailer is yours to gaze at above.

Untitled Goose Game goose gets jerkier, strips town of all valuable objects
https://www.pcgamer.com/untitled-goose-game-goose-gets-jerkier-strips-town-of-all-valuable-objects/
I was fed up with the jerk goose: I was determined never to write about the bastard again. But the creature's supreme malice has struck in yet another novel way, because now it's managed to completely strip a small township of all moveable objects (including, I should add, all signs forbidding the presence of geese).

Awesome Games Done Quick 2020 will include a Destiny 2 raid, Bloodlines, and Sekiro
https://www.pcgamer.com/awesome-games-done-quick-2020-will-include-a-destiny-2-raid-bloodlines-and-sekiro/
A list of the games being tackled by speedrunners at Awesome Games Done Quick in January of next year has been released, and it includes a bunch of highlight PC games. A team will be taking on Destiny 2's Last Wish raid with all encounters, which should be an interesting one. Speedrunning a live-service game presents an interesting challenge—here's hoping Destiny 2 doesn't get patched between now and January in a way that completely invalidates their plan.

If you're playing World of Warcraft this weekend and see a legion of pink-haired gnomes charging at you, don't worry—you've just found yourself in the middle of the Running of the Gnomes. It's an annual player-run event where players roll a gnome and race all the way from Gnomeregan to Booty Bay to raise money for breast cancer awareness.

Build nature, not cities, in free eco builder Terra Nil
https://www.pcgamer.com/build-nature-not-cities-in-free-eco-builder-terra-nil/
City builders, by their very nature, have you exploiting the landscape in order to make cities. Terra Nil—Reclaim the Wasteland, a free game created for Ludum Dare, is pretty much the exact opposite. Rather than constructing cities, you're recreating the natural world, with the aid of some advanced technology.

The 150GB game will include graphical improvements as well as new guns, horses, items, and other accoutrements. (For more on the technical bits, head to our post on RDR2's system requirements and graphical changes.)
