Epic Games Halloween Sale 2024 Buyer’s Guide
Our guide highlights just some of the games on sale for spooky season; there are plenty more to uncover in the depths of the sale. And don’t worry about having to make room on your hard drive: These games are so terrifying that the other titles in your library may choose to uninstall themselves!
Dead by Daylight
Be the hunter or the hunted in this asymmetrical multiplayer mauler. Four Survivors must fight for their lives in the Killing Ground, stalked by the player-controlled Killer. Survivors must repair generators to open the exit gates, forcing them to run around the procedurally generated levels to escape, hoping to avoid being dangled from the Killer’s hook and sacrificed to the Entity. And with the game’s deep dive into a variety of different types of horror, you end up with some surprising takes on the genre.
Alan Wake 2
Grab Remedy’s return to Bright Falls in the incredible Alan Wake 2. There’s so much going on here. Play as horror writer Alan Wake as he attempts to escape his personally crafted Hell in the Dark Place. Investigate the “real world” murders as Special Agent Saga Anderson, a new character who solves crimes in her Mind Place. From the beautifully realized world to the lurches into metaphysical absurdity, it’s a work of art.
But you don’t need to go alone. Read our guide to surviving the horrors within Alan Wake 2, and you should also check out our deep dive into the Alan Wake 2 DLC’s surprising new chapters and characters.
Dead Island 2
Dead Island 2 puts the laughter in slaughter. It’s rammed with truly horrific creatures that wobble and gnaw, all anatomically accurate in their own terrifying way. Players are armed with ad hoc weaponry scavenged from the mansions of HELL-A, taking on the literal Bridezillas with powered-up golf clubs and flaming axes, kicking zombies into swimming pools of acid. It’s a riot. Even better, you can play with up to three other undead slayers.
Get a head start with six sick tips you should know before diving into Dead Island 2.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human - Reloaded Edition
Staying human means staying safe in Dying Light 2. The streets are full of the Infected, the victims of a virus that has turned much of the human race into mindless zombies. They’re everywhere, and avoiding them—parkouring from dawn till dusk—is how the fittest survive. Trust us, you don’t want to see what comes out at night. The huge open world supports four-player co-op and is full of quests, challenges, and creative methods of getting from A to Zombie. Read up here on the game’s second birthday and plans for three more years of support.
The Outlast Trials
You’ll spend a lot of The Outlast Trials panicking, and that’s the correct response. The four-player survival game is an absolute assault on your sanity: you’re kidnapped, forcibly equipped with a pair of night-vision goggles, and shoved into trap-laden levels filled with monsters. You run and hide and hope they pick on someone else.
If you dare to enter The Outlast Trials, here are 12 tips to help you survive. If you’re into the game—and how couldn’t you be—here’s a dip into how players are helping the game evolve.
