VR gamers haven’t been flying under the radar for releases this year with Switchback VR from Supermassive Games and Capcom’s Resident Evil: Village VR update being must-play games if you’re looking for immersive scares.
Peering into the final weeks of October, it looks like the screams will keep coming with Alan Wake 2 gracing our consoles on October 27th. A title that has been greeted with great anticipation since it’s announcement back in June.
I was hoping that Paranormal Tales would get a release this October, but alas, nothing official has been announced from Digital Cybercherries just yet.
Slipping in just after Halloween is Little Goody Two Shoes, slyly sliding in on November 1st.
