    Let’s get tilted.

    It looks like Fortnite will be leaning hard on nostalgia in its next season, which is heading back in time with the return of the game’s original map. And as this new clip shows, that includes the classic location Tilted Towers. You can drop in on November 3rd.

    Things don’t look so sweet.

    The first season of Netflix’s Sweet Home worked in part because of its focus: it took place entirely within the confines of an apartment building, while a monster apocalypse raged outside. Season 2 expands the scope to the whole world, and it looks plenty gruesome in the latest trailer, which even has its own Carrie moment. The show starts streaming on December 1st.

    It’ll be a while before we’re playing Control 2.

    Now that Alan Wake 2 is out, Remedy Entertainment is providing some updates on its next projects. In the company’s most recent earnings statement, we learned that Control 2 is still “in the proof-of-concept stage,” and that both multiplayer game Condor and the Max Payne remakes have moved to “production readiness stage.”

    A devil of a new Switch release.

    The latest batch of retro games for Switch Online subscribers includes a historical curiosity with Devil World on the NES. It’s a puzzle adventure directed by Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto that went previously unreleased in the North America due in large part to its religious imagery. Now you can check it out for yourself — perfect vibes for Halloween.

    Alan wakes.

    After a long wait of more than a decade, Remedy returns to the Alan Wake series with an appropriately strange and scary sequel. Elsewhere, the hard-to-explain indie hit Dave the Diver is now on the Switch, Apple’s sci-fi drama Invasion just wrapped up its second season, and both Pain Hustlers (Netflix) and Five Nights at Freddy’s (Peacock) are now streaming.

    It’s also a good time to catch up on Metal Gear Solid. Oh, and if you’re looking for something spooky to read, horror legend Junji Ito has a new collection out.
