10 spooky Halloween events to enjoy on Xbox

Halloween is just around the corner, so you know what that means: special Halloween events in your favorite video games! Did you think we would say candy? With the big day in hand, several games have revealed their plans to celebrate the spookiest of holidays with special events. A lot of great things are happening this year, so let’s take a look at some of the highlights.

Minecraft Spookyfest and Minecraft Dungeons Spookier Fall Events

You can always count on Mojang for Halloween fun in Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons. New Minecraft Dungeon Seasonal Trials unlock exclusive items including the Laughing Broom, Ghost Bow, and Spooky Gourdian Armor Set. Head over to Minecraft to download a free Spooky Gourdian Character Creator item and a free Halloween Fiends skin pack. The team is also celebrating Halloween IRL, so head over to Minecraft.net for all the details.

Sea of ​​Thieves – Fury of the Damned

Perhaps not surprising for a game that’s full of creepy skeletons and ghost ships, the Rare team always goes big for Halloween. In this year’s in-game event, players can earn an additional favor with Bilge Rats by performing tasks (set in-game via Mysterious Notes) such as taking down Skeleton Ships or emptying Skeleton Forts. As you reach certain Favor thresholds, you will be awarded cosmetic items from Wicked Web for your efforts. There are even community spirit challenges to annihilate a large number of skeletons, offering pirates even more rewards after Fury of the Damned ends. For more details, visit the official Sea of ​​Thieves site.

Fortnite – Fortnitemares

Once again, Fortnite’s Halloween event is titled Fortnitemares and it will feature some spooky decorations scattered around the island where the game’s battles take place. There are also some new skins available to players, including Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead and everyone’s favorite lab-created monster, Frankenstein.

Apex Legends – Inner Monsters

In addition to special Halloween costumes for characters like Bloodhound and the already creepy Revenant, Apex Legends will also feature a returning game type called Shadow Royale. In this mode, dead players will return as ghosts that can help their companions from beyond.

Rocket League – Haunted Relics

Developer Psyonix is ​​always going big with their Halloween deals, and this year is no different. Instead of being spooky though, this year’s Haunted Hallows event will focus on everyone’s favorite caped crusader – Batman. The big draw is the ability to unlock the 1989 and 2016 versions of the Batmobile, though there’s also the new Gotham City Rumble mode, which places the Rumble game type squarely in the world of Batman.

Rainbow Six Siege – Doktor’s Curse

Everyone who plays Rainbow Six Siege loves the annual Doktor’s Curse event, so it’s no surprise to see Ubisoft bring it back for another year. Offering a hair-raising twist on Rainbow Six Siege’s tried-and-true formula, this mode finds players fighting their way through Doktor’s titular castle, with mutated operators fighting their way through twisted creatures hell-bent on destroying them. As the motto of the mode says, “When the Doktor is out, the monsters will play.”

Overwatch – Halloween Terror

A stalwart of the seasonal series since 2016, Overwatch’s annual Halloween Terror event brings Junkenstein’s revenge back with new challenge missions for players to overcome. For those fans just looking for the loot, there are also plenty of weekly challenges that will offer icons, sprays, icons, and even some epic skins. You can even get some loot boxes containing cosmetics and gear from previous Halloween Terror events.

Destiny 2 – Festival of the Lost

The Festival of the Lost is back! Once again, you’ll don a mask and collect candy from across the universe, then dive into enchanted versions of the game’s lost sectors to defeat headless enemies. Like the Headless Horseman, they will sport lanterns on their shoulders, so go for those headshots!

Call of Duty: Warzone – The Haunting

If you’re looking for a game mode that changes everything you expect from a game, look no further than Warzone’s second annual Halloween event. The Haunting is a fun twist on Warzone’s Infection game mode in which players turn into ghosts after dying, gaining special powers that they can unleash on their unsuspecting (and still alive) fellow players. There’s even a scare meter that will give you quite a scare once you fill it up!

No Man’s Sky – Emergency

Giant Worms – So Hot Right Now! While No Man Sky actually added massive, centipede-like Titan Worms to the game in an update this year, the Emergence event gives players the ability to tame, ride, and, yes, even raise their own from a baby worm. Also, you can get a special worm mask that is as creepy as it sounds.
