Dungeons and Dragons Modern Horror Adventure Adds A New Playable Species and 4 Backgrounds

Dungeons and Dragons has finally revealed all the details about its new modern horror adventure and the new collection includes some exciting new character options for players to explore.

Unlock The Reborn Species in Project Lamordia

After dropping a very mysterious and creepy teaser trailer a few weeks ago, D&D Beyond and Dungeons and Dragons are finally ready to unveil Project_Lamordia.

“Monsters are now machines, spells become technology, and every unlocked door reveals a darker mystery. Built for eerie adventures and minimal prep, PROJECT_LAMORDIA is ready to run.”

The new modern horror adventure is available through D&D Beyond now for $14.99 and offers a collection of resources for both Dungeons Masters and players. DMs will find three one-shots that they can use to run some scary adventures during spooky season, while players get a brand-new playable species and new Dark Gifts.

Here is a full breakdown of everything included in the Project_Lamordia materials:

  • 3 one-shots that can be connected into a full adventure, each with a map to traverse through the haunted halls of Mordenheim Kinetics
  • 1 character species, the Reborn, whose consciousness was uploaded into a synthetic body after death
  • 4 new character backgrounds and 4 feats (Dark Gifts)
  • New mechanics to help you play desperate survivors in a modern world, including 4 preset playable stat blocks
  • 5 monstrous stat blocks blending gothic dread and technological horror
  • Terrify your table instantly with Project_Lamordia’s Quickplay Maps, complete with preloaded creature tokens, fog of war, and Scene Prep notes pinned to each map

Use a new species, the Reborn, who died on Mordenheim Kinetics’ operating table and woke up in a synthetic shell, with origin tables that decide what their memories lost in translation.

Players can also step into the role of a survivor with new backgrounds and feats designed for this techno-horror adventure.

It should be very exciting to see how many players and DMs embrace this new content and experiment with the modern horror settings over the next few weeks. The three one-shot adventures can be tackles as standalone content or woven into a large narrative.

Be sure to check back soon for lots more Dungeons and Dragons news and updates.

Dungeons and Dragons is available now at local game shops and digitally through D&D Beyond, Roll20, and other similar online services.

Helldivers 2 New Warbond Weapons and Strategem

A new Premium Warbond arrives in Helldivers 2 on October 20 and brings some exciting new rewards for players to unlock.

Helldivers 2: scope of Authority Warbond Details

Players will be able to access Helldivers 2’s next Premium Warbond when the Scope of Authority releases on October 20.

On October 20, the Ministry of Defense will authorize deployment of the Scope of Authority Premium Warbond – the next leap forward in long-range and clandestine combat solutions to guarantee your squad never misses the mark.

“Deliver Managed Democracy from long range and strike from the shadows with pioneering active concealment tech to eliminate enemies of Liberty before they know you are there with the all-new Scope of Authority Premium Warbond coming October 20.”

Here is a breakdown of what players can expect to find in the co-op game when the new Warbond goes live:

  • The R-40 Sightliner bolt-action sniper rifle | The best sniper knows the balance of stability and power is a delicate one, and a primary sniper rifle that can balance both is a tall order. After extensive research and trials in the Ministry of Defense, they have developed an elegant solution: The R-40 Sightliner bolt-action sniper rifle. Your trusty sidekick with the eagle eyes, the Sightliner can provide powerful armor piercing rounds and long-range precision.
  • P-44 Mist | The perfect companion to the exactitude of a sniper rifle primary is something that can provide that same steadfastness with the speed and versatility of a pistol. That brings us to the purpose-built P-44 Mist, a one-handed machine pistol designed for a compact carry. If the enemy closes in on you, carve a path out with the help of the P-44.
  • AMW-20 Apex | As we have faced larger and more heavily-armored foes, we have responded by making a more powerful and armor-penetrating, backpack-fed, colossal anti-materiel rifle featuring assisted reload: the AMW-20 Apex. The Apex is far from subtle, but there is not much in the galaxy that could survive an assault from it.
  • LAS-44 Nova | For the advanced tech-loving teams, there is a new entry to the LAS series of energy weapons: the LAS-44 Nova! This sleek rifle has the luxury of infinite ammo provided by weapons of its type, but it fires a high-precision non-explosive thermal projectile after a short charge cycle. A new optimization routine designed specifically for better cooldown performance means your rifle will be firing longer after all targets have been eliminated.
  • G-11 Caltrops | When thrown, the G-11 Caltrops scatters a wide field of proximity-detonated submunitions that slow and stun foes, making them easier to get in your sights.

Along with the impressive stratagems, weapons, and armors, players will also get the Manual Ballistic Projection emote and a new title to claim to demonstrate your prowess as a distance shooter: Longshot.

Helldivers 2 launched all the way back in February of 2024, but the game is still going strong. It should be exciting to see if this Premium Warbond does a successful job at keeping the active playerbase engaged and drawing back any lapsed players.

Be sure to check back soon for lots more Helldivers 2 news and updates once the Scope of Authority content goes live.

Helldivers 2 is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles.

New Fortnite Sprites Coming in the October 15 Update – Full List

Epic Games has confirmed that the Honey Sprite and Obsession Sprite are coming to Fortnite on October 15. Here is the full list of new Sprites and expected variants arriving in the next Fortnitemares 2026 update.

How Many New Fortnite Sprites Are Coming on October 15?

Up to 12 new Fortnite Sprites are expected in the October 15 update, including variants of the new Honey Sprite and Obsession Sprite. The Honey Sprite is one of the winners of the Chapter 7 Season 3 community design-a-Sprite contest. It is also the last winning design from the Runners competition to be added to the game.

The Obsession Sprite, meanwhile, is a collab with Curry Barker’s breakout 2026 horror movie of the same name. It will let players use a “One Wish Willow” power, although we are still waiting for the full details on how it works.

So far, only the Honey Sprite has been confirmed to have all six variants. If the Obsession Sprite gets the same treatment, we will have 12 new Sprites to collect. However, if it only has its base form, the total will be seven.

All New Fortnite Sprites Coming on October 15

Here is the list of confirmed Honey Sprites and expected Obsession variants coming in the October 15 update:

  • Honey Sprite
  • Gold Honey Sprite
  • Cheat Master Honey Sprite
  • Loot Hacker Honey Sprite
  • Bounty Hunter Honey Sprite
  • Trick or Treat Honey Sprite
  • Obsession Sprite
  • Gold Obsession Sprite (unconfirmed)
  • Cheat Master Obsession Sprite (unconfirmed)
  • Loot Hacker Obsession Sprite (unconfirmed)
  • Bounty Hunter Obsession Sprite (unconfirmed)
  • Trick or Treat Obsession Sprite (unconfirmed)

We’ll update this list as soon as the Obsession Sprite’s variants are confirmed.

New Fortnite Sprite Powers Explained

At the time of writing, Epic Games has not fully explained how the new Sprite powers work. However, official previews and the Honey Sprite’s original community contest description give us an idea of what to expect:

  • Honey Sprite: Launches a swarm of bees at enemies when you take damage, according to the original contest concept.
  • Obsession Sprite: Uses a “One Wish Willow” power, rumored to let you wish for a Sprite in the overworld.

The final abilities could differ from the original concept or rumored details, so we’ll update this section once the Sprites are live. If both new Sprites receive all six versions, the Chapter 7 Season 4 collection will reach 157 Sprites. Which, yeah, is a lot.

With Fortnite Override ending on October 31, these are likely to be the last Sprites added this season. That gives collectors a little over two weeks to hunt them down before the next season arrives.

GTA 6 PC Release Reportedly Planned for Early 2027

A new GamesBeat report claims that GTA 6 could release on PC within the first three months of 2027. If accurate, PC players could get Grand Theft Auto VI just a few months after its console launch. However, Rockstar Games has not publicly confirmed the reported release window.

When Is GTA 6 Coming to PC?

According to a new GamesBeat report, Rockstar Games plans to release GTA 6 on PC in the first quarter of 2027. That would put its launch sometime between January and March, although the report does not give a specific release date.

GamesBeat says the information comes from four industry sources familiar with Rockstar’s plans. All four reportedly requested anonymity to avoid damaging business relationships. However, their identities and how they learned about the release window are unclear.

Rockstar Games has not publicly confirmed a PC release date for Grand Theft Auto VI. According to GamesBeat, a representative also did not respond to its request for comment before publication. So while the outlet says it has confirmed the plans through its sources, we are still waiting for an official announcement from Rockstar.

If the report is accurate, though, it would be a pretty big deal for PC players who were expecting a much longer wait.

GTA 6 PC Release Could Arrive Just Months After Consoles

GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. A PC release in early 2027 would mean players only have to wait roughly two to four months for the port if the GamesBeat report is accurate.

That would be a much quicker turnaround than Grand Theft Auto V. The previous game originally launched on consoles in September 2013, while its PC version didn’t arrive until April 2015. That was around a year and seven months of waiting.

Of course, a reported release window isn’t a guarantee. Even if Rockstar is targeting the first quarter of 2027 internally, those plans could change before the studio announces anything publicly. Still, if you were worried about having to wait until late 2027 or beyond to play GTA 6 on your PC, this report gives you some reason to be hopeful.

All Fortnitemares 2026 Collabs Coming In the October 15 Update

Dataminers have revealed the remaining Fortnitemares 2026 collabs releasing after the October 15 update. From Slender Man to Obsession, here are the Halloween Fortnite crossovers that will be launching soon.

All Remaining Fortnitemares Collabs Revealed

It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through Fortnitemares 2026. Although Epic Games has already released many crossovers such as Five Nights at Freddy’s, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Hollow Knight, there are still plenty more on the way.

According to dataminers, we have a pretty good idea of which Fortnitemares 2026 collabs will arrive after the upcoming October 15 update. For your convenience, here is the list of remaining reported crossovers:

All Fortnitemares Collabs Releasing After October 15

Fortnite Hazbin Hotel Skins

  • Obsession
  • Slender Man
  • Hazbin Hotel
  • HamiKuma (Halloween Horror Nights)
  • Beetlejuice
  • The Purge
  • Predator: Badlands
  • League of Legends (datamined)
  • Metal Sonic (Sonic Wave 2 datamined)
  • The Exorcist (datamined)

Dataminers have also listed original Nurse and Spice skins, along with more cosmetics. These aren’t crossovers, but they could give players even more Halloween outfits to choose from.

When Is SlenderMan Coming to Fortnite?

Slender Man is expected to arrive in Fortnite after the October 15 update. According to dataminers, his cosmetics will likely be added to the game’s files on Thursday. However, Epic Games has not confirmed a specific Item Shop release date.

Many of the remaining Fortnitemares 2026 collabs will be added to the game’s files this Thursday, with staggered releases throughout the coming weeks. If we had to guess, October 17 could be a date to watch for Hazbin Hotel or Slender Man, given Epic Games’ recent Saturday crossover releases. That is speculation, though, so don’t mark your calendar just yet.

We’ll update this list as soon as Epic Games releases its weekly shop rotation trailer. Meanwhile, the Obsession crossover is scheduled to launch on October 15, the same day as the upcoming Fortnitemares 2026 update.

Ethan Winters Has a Familiar Face in Resident Evil: Biohazard Fan Film

Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil adaptation is currently in theaters, but another smaller adaptation is also arriving this month from a former Walking Dead star.

Chandler Riggs Stars As Ethan Winters in Biohazard Short Film

and here we go. my short film BIOHAZARD hits youtube this wednesday, 10/14. can’t wait for y’all to see it. check out my exclusive interview with @IGN from the link in my bio for all the info.

any resident evil 7 fans here? pic.twitter.com/ESt20l3cMq

— chandler riggs (@chandlerriggs) October 12, 2026

Chandler Riggs has grown up quite a bit since his long run as Carl on The Walking Dead came to a close, but now the actor is attaching himself to another beloved franchise.

Riggs has been working on a short film called Biohazard that adapts some of the most iconic moments from the open hours of Resident Evil: Biohazard. The short film runs roughly 20 minutes and debuts on YouTube this week.

Riggs plays Ethan Winters in the unofficial short film and will offer Resident Evil fans a closer look at the characters face than they got during the original game, which was almost entirely in the first-person from Ethan’s perspective, aside from a few segments.

According to Riggs the short film was aiming to release before Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil adaptation hit theaters, but things didn’t quite come together in time to hit that goal. Instead, the short film debuts on October 14.

Riggs spoke with IGN about the project and shared details about the process around deciding to show Ethan’s face and how to handle that aspect of the adaptation:

“We’re trying to do so much else super faithful and true to the game, but this is a huge aspect that we are breaking from it. But there isn’t really another good way to tell [the story] in a live-action format. I was going back and forth like ‘Okay, could we do first person the whole time? Could we avoid getting his face in or anything?’ But the more we went back and forth on it, the more I was like, ‘I mean, if we are going to do this and are going to appeal to a wider audience — more than just the people who played the games — then we’re going to have to break those rules. It was very intimidating. Hopefully people are okay with it.”

The teaser trailer is definitely high-quality and it looks like a faithful adaptation with strong acting and a good sense of building suspense. It should be very exciting to watch the whole short film later this week and see how film and gaming fans react to the this take on the franchise.

Be sure to check back soon for lots more Resident Evil and video game movie news and updates.

The Biohazard short film will be available on YouTube starting October 14, 2026.

Is There a Scream Video Game? All Games and Ghostface Appearances

With Ghostface showing up in everything from Mortal Kombat to Fortnite, you might be wondering whether there is a Scream video game. While the horror franchise has had a mobile adaptation, fans are still waiting for a new standalone title. However, a leaked multiplayer prototype gives us a look at a game that never made it to release.

Is There a Scream Video Game?

At the time of writing, there is no new standalone Scream video game has been officially announced. So if you were hoping for an upcoming Ghostface title with a confirmed release date, there isn’t one yet.

That said, the series hasn’t completely missed out on getting its own adaptation. An official Scream 4 mobile game was released in 2011 for iOS and Android. Ghostface has also appeared in several other popular titles, although those appearances are guest characters and cosmetics rather than full Scream video games.

There was even an unreleased multiplayer project that surfaced online following a Steam data leak. And based on the footage, it sounds like fans almost got a very different kind of Scream game.

Leaked Scream Video Game Prototype Explained

Scream Video Game Fortnite

In September 2026, reports revealed that playable builds of an unreleased Scream project had been discovered in leaked Steam files. The prototype was reportedly developed by Fatshark, the studio behind Warhammer: Vermintide and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

The multiplayer game had players trying to escape Ghostface, while another player controlled the masked killer. If you’ve played Dead by Daylight, you can probably picture the appeal of that setup. However, the reported final build dated back to February 2011, years before Behaviour’s horror game launched.

There is a catch, though. The person who examined the files suggested that the project may have been a pitch to secure the Scream license. That detail remains speculation, so the footage shouldn’t be treated as proof that an officially licensed game was approved for release.

All Scream Video Games List

The list of standalone Scream games is pretty short. Below is the released mobile adaptation, followed by the unreleased project discovered in the Steam leak.

Standalone Scream Games

TitleRelease DatePlatforms
Scream 4 / SCRE4MApril 2011 on iOS; Android release also reported in 2011iOS, Android

Scream 4 was a tie-in to the fourth movie and let players take control of Ghostface. Contemporary coverage places its iOS launch in April 2011, although release listings differ on the exact day.

Unreleased Scream Projects

TitleRelease DatePlatform
Untitled Scream multiplayer prototype attributed to FatsharkNever released; reported final build dated February 2011PC

The prototype surfaced publicly in 2026, but that was the discovery of an old build rather than a release announcement.

Games Featuring Ghostface

If you mainly want to play as Ghostface, there are more options. The killer has appeared as a playable character, an Operator, and even a suspicious little crewmate. The dates below refer to Ghostface’s arrival, rather than each base game’s original release. Platforms include later ports where applicable.

Dead by Daylight – The Ghost Face DLCJune 18, 2019PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch

For now, fans hoping for a full Scream adventure will have to keep waiting. The leaked prototype is an interesting look at what could have been, but we still don’t have an announced new game or a release date.
