Palworld
Palworld is delivering a really spooky vibe this Halloween. Starting October 23, 2025, you can join a new limited-time event featuring Zoe Rayne, her electric Pal Grizzbolt, and the constantly-melancholy Depresso, along with some mysterious new creatures roaming the Palpagos Islands. Developer Pocketpair teased that this year’s Halloween celebration might be the biggest yet, promising more content than last year’s Wandering Monsters event.
During the event, you’ll be able to get two main costumes: Depresso’s armor set and Zoe’s Halloween outfit. In addition to the costumes, the 0.6.8 update introduced a Halloween mission called “Zoe’s Sphere,” which involves defeating or capturing 30 Free Pal Alliance members, and a new chat notification feature that lets you see when other players enter or leave your server. While the end date of the Halloween event hasn’t been announced yet, it looks like it’s going to be a content-rich celebration that encourages exploration, crafting, and some grinding.
Disney Dreamlight Valley
Trick or Treat Event
Halloween has returned to Disney Dreamlight Valley, and it’s sweeter (and spookier) than ever. The annual Trick or Treat event is running from October 15 to November 1, 2025, and it’s your ticket to a valley full of candy, pumpkins, and one very mysterious surprise.
As you wander the Plaza, watch out for colorful Candy Bowls. Each one contains a few sweet treats you can munch on or give to your favorite villagers to complete special Halloween tasks. Collecting and sharing candy isn’t just for fun; it’s how you unlock a variety of festive rewards like Mickey’s Halloween Candy Bowl, glowing pumpkin stacks, and cheerful (or mischievous) Jack-O’-Lanterns that brighten up your home.
This year, a Haunted Well has appeared in the Valley, and it’s more than just decoration. You’ll need to uncover a secret memory and offer the correct amount of each candy color to lift its spooky curse and earn a new reward when you succeed. On Halloween Day, the magic reaches its peak as candy bowls spawn every hour, and all your villagers crave sweets.
The Haunted Floating Festival
Just when you think the Valley can’t get any creepier, the Haunted Floating Festival appears. From October 22 to November 11, 2025, a mysterious island has emerged in the sky above Disney Dreamlight Valley, inviting you to step through a swirling dark portal in the Plaza and uncover its many secrets.
The floating island is beautifully eerie, shrouded in fog and lit up by glowing jack o’ lanterns, but don’t get too distracted by the scenery because this event is all about puzzles. Each challenge you solve unlocks a special seasonal reward, and new mysteries emerge as the festival goes on.
Each puzzle provides clues hidden throughout the island, so it pays to explore every corner and possibly return at night or during stormy weather when certain items appear. While solving mysteries, you can gather limited-time resources like Haunted Crow Feathers or Skeleton Fish, perfect for crafting spooky décor.
Monster Hunter Wilds Festival of Accord: Dreamspell
Monster Hunter Wilds is celebrating the season with the Festival of Accord: Dreamspell, live in the Grand Hub from October 22 to November 12, 2025. During this limited-time event, the hub transforms into a dreamy, festive space filled with vibrant decorations, exclusive gear, and special rewards for dedicated hunters.
Throughout the event, enjoy extra login bonuses, earning unique items such as the Seikret decoration, new pendants, gestures, and even a fresh BGM track to enhance the festival atmosphere. Fans of customization can also unlock pop-up camp decorations, hunter profile themes, and other personal touches like nameplates and poses to showcase their seasonal spirit.
Hunters can also take on limited-time event quests, including returning favorites and the new Hirabami Harvest and That Won’t Faze Me! quests, which reward exclusive crafting materials for event-only gear. And don’t miss the special seasonal meal at the Grand Hub canteen, available only during the event and requiring a voucher earned through login bonuses.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure Spooky Celebration
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is embracing the Halloween spirit with Kuromi’s Spooky Celebration, running from October 2 to November 7, 2025. This 37-day event turns the Seaside Resort into a cute yet spooky playground filled with costumes, candy, and limited-time rewards.
During the event, players collect Spooky Treats, the seasonal currency, by trick-or-treating with island residents at night while wearing a spooky outfit or costume piece. You can also earn more by completing daily quests, with an extra bonus if you own the Wheatflour Wonderland DLC. These treats can then be spent at the Spooky Celebration Event Stand to buy exclusive clothing, furniture, and decorations from both the current and previous years’ collections.
This year’s story features Kuromi teaching My Melody how to be just a little spooky, with Cinnamoroll and Lloromannic joining in to keep things from getting too scary. With 71 collectible items available and plenty of adorable Halloween antics to enjoy, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the season Sanrio-style.
Borderlands 4 Horrors of Kairos
Borderlands 4 is bringing back the scares with its Horrors of Kairos Halloween event, running from October 23 to November 6, 2025. This free seasonal mini-event changes the atmosphere across the world with a new weather variation during Rift Champion world events, making everything feel even more sinister.
The main attraction is the loot. Defeating Rift Champion world bosses offers a chance at Legendary rewards like Murmur, a Tediore assault rifle that executes weakened enemies, and Skully, a seeking grenade that fires projectiles at nearby targets.
On top of the legendary gear, there are fun cosmetic treats. Equip the Gourd Your Loins pumpkin head on characters like Vex, Rafa, Amon, and Harlowe, or customize your weapons with the Hex Appeal skin. Simply redeem the SHiFT codes, and you’re all set. With blood rain falling from the sky, eerie lighting, and new items to collect, Horrors of Kairos offers Borderlands 4’s perfect blend of spooky atmosphere and deadly loot.
Phasmophobia Crimson Eye
Phasmophobia is welcoming back its annual Halloween event, Crimson Eye, running from October 9 to October 31, 2025. The Blood Moon rises once again, turning your investigations into a high-stakes game of terror and reward.
During the event, select maps will feature guaranteed Blood Moon weather. Ghosts become faster during hunts, and your Sanity drains more quickly, but the risk comes with a reward. Investigations completed under the crimson sky earn a 10 percent bonus. Maps rotate daily, so be sure to check which locations are active to maximize your hunt.
This year’s event also builds on past versions with tweaks to make the experience both tough and rewarding. You’ll complete goals, uncover spooky secrets, and earn exclusive in-game rewards that mark the scariest month of the year. Whether you’re hunting alone or with friends, Crimson Eye offers a tense, atmospheric Halloween experience where danger and reward go hand in hand.
Two Point Museum Autumn Update and Vampire Survivors Crossover
The latest Two Point Museum update transforms the game with an autumnal twist, inviting you to explore Coven Corner, a newly discovered part of the Netherworld where witches gather to brew potions and share their mysterious crafts. Hidden beneath the Paranormal Detection Agency, this seasonal spot offers a blend of spooky atmosphere and whimsical charm as museum curators search for rare Witch Crafts to display.
The update also adds a generous collection of new decorations to capture the spirit of the season. Museums can now be dressed up with haystack benches, carved pumpkins, lanterns, and rustic autumn décor, creating the ideal harvest-time aesthetic. A new Witch visitor might even stop by, offering blessings or hexes depending on how your exhibits are arranged. The Coven Corner event runs until November 30, 2025, but the decorations and items you unlock are permanent, ensuring your museum maintains a touch of autumn magic all year round.
As if one dose of supernatural excitement wasn’t enough, the developers also conjured up an unexpected crossover with Vampire Survivors. Three of the cult classic’s most iconic levels have been added as new Points of Interest in the Digiverse. You can collect relics and exhibits inspired by the gothic indie hit, including powerful weapons like Spinach and Santa Water, as well as haunting décor that recreates the game’s eerie pixel aesthetic. Even Poe Ratcho, the garlic-loving survivor himself, makes a surprise appearance, shuffling through museum halls in all his undead glory.
Deep Rock Galactic Hoxxes Halloween
Deep Rock Galactic is digging into the spooky season with Hoxxes Halloween 2025, running from October 30 to November 13, 2025. This year, the dwarves of Hoxxes are ready to brave the dark, haunted caverns and face whatever horrors lurk in the depths.
Expect plenty of jump scares as Glyphid Exploders or satchel charges explode unexpectedly, and don’t forget to show off your frightening new headwear. Completing the special Dawn of the Spawn assignment lets you claim this year’s Halloween-themed headgear, while completing Last Year’s Horrors assignment rewards you with all the spooky cosmetics from previous Hoxxes Halloween events.
For those who love a challenge, ghastly skulls have been seen in the caves. Bring them back to the Space Rig to earn double performance points. Even the Space Rig joins the fun, decorated with creepy Halloween decorations to set the Halloween mood.
