The official sequel to the classic NES game Shadowgate and the latest entry in the pioneering adventure franchise, Beyond Shadowgate is now available on Steam and GOG for $17.99 USD.
About Beyond Shadowgate
The original Shadowgate from 1987 was a groundbreaking entry in the adventure game genre, known for its unique first-person UI and creative, often fatal challenges. This beloved title is a hallmark of early Nintendo-era gaming. Now, after 35 years, the official sequel—Beyond Shadowgate—has been brought to life by the series’ creator and a leading 8-bit-style adventure game studio.
With a world five times larger than Shadowgate, Beyond Shadowgate offers a sprawling adventure! Featuring over 250 game rooms in the Shadowgate realm, players will also embark on side quests that take them into two other classic first-person adventures: Déjà Vu and The Uninvited.
Built for both newcomers and die-hard NES fans, Beyond Shadowgate retains the charm of the 8-bit era while adding modern features like a vibrant color palette, auto-save, fast travel, a hint system, and 40 achievements. It’s fully compatible with Steam Deck, mouse and keyboard, and offers Xinput and DInput controller support for Xbox and PlayStation controllers.

Halloween isn’t just a holiday in Dead by Daylight, it’s an entire season. A familiar chill is back in the air, and once again gaming’s premiere horror destination is pulling out all the stops with the return of Haunted by Daylight, the arrival of a new Tome, and more new cosmetics than The Entity has claws. Whether players are looking for tricks, treats, or a terrifying twist on Trials, there’s something for everyone throughout the month of October and beyond.
Get Haunted by Daylight
The Void Realm beckons, and those who dare to set foot within may never be the same again. The Haunted by Daylight Event returns from Oct. 17 to Nov. 7 for its third year at the forefront of Dead by Daylight’s Halloween festivities.
The Void is back for this latest iteration of the event and set to play a bigger role than ever. This year not only are there more available portals into the Void Realm, but once opened they can’t be closed. Void Energy must again be collected in order to open these portals, but when inside, it can also be spent to create brand-new role-specific Void Items to help turn the tides of a Trial. Ratcheting up the event’s intensity, Killer Powers are now available to use within the Void Realm itself for the first time ever.
Castlevania, Continued
Hot on the heels of the iconic Castlevania making its way into The Entity’s Realm, Tome 21: DOMINUS looks to double down, delivering more stories, Outfits, and rewards from the undying franchise.
A celebration of all things Castlevania, with a specific focus on some popular Nintendo DS titles, DOMINUS features memories that delve deeper into Trevor Belmont and Dracula’s histories as they both seek to recruit Alucard to their cause. In a Dead by Daylight first, every single Outfit, Charm, Banner and Badge, available to earn in DOMINUS will either be Castlevania themed or inspired by gothic horror, including the Legendary Soma Cruz Outfit for Trevor, and the Visceral Legendary True Form Outfit for Dracula, complete with its own Mori.
Threads of Dread
Dressing up is half the fun of Halloween, and Dead by Daylight is out to make sure players have everything they could want when it comes to finding the perfect in-game costume for their favorite characters.
Beginning Oct. 17 and lasting for the duration of the Haunted by Daylight event, new additions to The Void Collection show the chilling effects of a brush with oblivion. This year players can pick up Outfits for Kate Denson, Adam Francis, and Zarina Kassir, along with the Collection’s first Killer Outfit for The Plague.
In a nod to the lighter side of the season, the Tricks and Treats Collection introduces a group costume for Sable Ward and Mikaela Reid, both available in store. Sable steps into the role of a spellcasting witch, while Mikaela plays the part of her feline familiar. The Collection also includes Outfits for Yun-Jin and The Trickster, earnable via the Event, that sees them attending a Halloween concert. Both sets of Outfits are time limited.
Also returning is the fan-favorite Hallowed Blight Collection, with new looks available Oct. 7. Grotesque, gruesome, and endlessly oozing, new additions to the Collection include Outfits for The Pig, The Good Guy, The Deathslinger, and more.
Finally, the Alien Collection serves up two all-new outfits with the “Juggernaut Xenomorph”, as well as the iconic “Pressure Suit” for Ellen Ripley. Both new outfits will be available on Nov. 7.
Players can test their nerve in the Haunted by Daylight Event from Oct. 17 to Nov. 7 in Dead by Daylight.
