While impressive there is still some ways to go before it rivals Geoff Keighley’s other awards show “The Game Awards” which had 85 million live streams back in December 2021

The majority of the Summer Game Fest took place from June 9-12 but announcements were made over a matter of weeks as well and earlier on June 2nd PlayStation had it’s state of play event which showcased games such as Street fighter 6, Final Fantasy 16 and the long-awaited Resident Evil 4 Remake. The Xbox and Bethesda showcase on June 12th had their own games to show off such as the first look into Starfield Gameplay and Redfall gameplay.

Next year there will be another Summer Game Fest which Geoff Keighley confirmed will be both a digital and in-person event “I’m excited to share that Summer Game Fest will return in June 2023 as a digital and an in-person event, to bring the gaming community together,”

It’s unclear whether this means that the Summer Game Fest will be open to the public or not but if it is it would mark the first time that the Summer Game Fest can be attended physically as previous years were digital showcases.

On top of that E3 which was the go-to for many top announcements will be coming back in 2023 as the E3 owner entertainment software association has said during this month that they are planning to bring back the long-running gaming event in 2023

With a variety of game shows taking place as well as various companies such as PlayStation during their own showcases it’s unclear just how much there will be to show but it’s sure to be competitive and exciting year for gaming in general.

The post Epic Games Store’s Mega Sale 2022 is now on!!! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Giving away free games is one of the primary ways that the Epic Games Store attracts new customers. Every Thursday, the Epic Games Store offers a fully free game to its players while also showcasing what they may expect from the next week’s free game offerings. Epic Games have updated the store for this week, making DARQ: Complete Edition free, whilst also revealing what’s up for grabs next week.

Currently Available on the Epic Games Store

Epic Games Store customers may get DARQ: Complete Edition for free until November 4 at 10:00 a.m. CT. DARQ: Complete Edition is a stealth/puzzle horror game that traps players in a lucid nightmare. It’s the latest addition to the Epic Games Store’s horror gaming selections to help you enjoy the Halloween festivities.

Psychological horror set in a lucid dream. Just in time for Halloween! 💤😈

Grab DARQ: Complete Edition while you can… it's FREE! https://t.co/mqSSRohqHL pic.twitter.com/uheMEaitIK

— Epic Games Store (@EpicGames) October 28, 2021

Epic Games Free Release Schedule

The next free game is not scheduled to release until after Halloween. Its replacement will not be a horror title. This is because Halloween will have passed by the time DARQ is withdrawn from the Epic Games Store.

Aven Colonyis the next Epic Games Store free game for November 4 to November 11. Aven Colony is a science fiction city management game in which players must oversee mankind as it strives to colonise the alien planet Aven Prime. Aven Colony, like other city management games, is all about constructing new structures, managing resources, and responding to the needs of the residents. Aven Colony has been described as “Sim City in space,” so if you’re into city building simulators, this is the one for you. Don’t miss out!

Although neither DARQ nor Aven Colony received much acclaim when they were first released, the opportunity to play them for free should be alluring. Anyone interested in whichever genre they represent should grab them while they are still free. Again, DARQ is free on the Epic Games Store until November 4th, while Aven Colony is free from November 4th to November 11th, after which it will be replaced by another free game.

With December fast approaching, hopefully we will see the return of last year’s Epic Games Store advent calendar which saw the store count down to the holidays by giving out a new free game every day. The Epic Games Store has not stated whether or not this deal will be repeated this year, but hopefully we will find out soon enough.

The post Epic Games Store Free Game Announced for October 21st – 28th first appeared on Get2Gaming.

The Walking Dead’s Rick Grimes makes his Fortnite debut just in time for Fortnitemares, the game’s annual Halloween event.

Fortnite’s Newest Arrival

Fortnite, the popular Battle Royale game, continues to evolve with new seasons and content. Over the last year, the game has been increasingly reliant on crossover events involving characters and brands from other media to differentiate itself from its competing Battle Royale titles such as Call of Duty: Warzone and Apex Legends. Companies like Disney have greatly aided Epic Games’ success in this strategy, not only by providing new skins of Marvel and Star Wars characters, but also by participating in limited time modes and seasons.

Epic hasn’t only been dependant on huge names for its crossovers and has managed to include a variety of unexpected characters such as Halo’s Master Chief and God of War protagonist Kratos. Mike Lowry from Bad Boys, Rick and Morty, as well as numerous musical artists, have all participated in the crossover material. Now, one of AMC’s most popular programmes, The Walking Dead, is introducing one of its most well-known characters to Fortnite.

He’s shown us what it takes to go through all walks of life.. and afterlife.

Rick Grimes is now available for purchase in the game’s item shop for 1,500 V-bucks, according to a tweet from Fortnite. The Walker Club harvesting tool, the Sheriff’s Duffle back bling, and the rare Crashing Satellite glider are also available for 500 V-bucks. For a reduced price of 1,900 V-bucks, players may get a bundle pack that includes everything.

Rick Grimes is not the first character from The Walking Dead cast to join Fortnite’s roster, with Darryl Dixon and Michonne also previously making appearances. They were both originally available back in December, and have made a reappearance in the Survivors in Arms bundle, which is available for 2,500 V-Bucks. The pack also includes their back bling and alternate costumes.

Fortnitemare’s Halloween Event is Live!

The new addition is dropped with good timing as Fortnite’s annual Halloween themed event started this week and will go on until the end of October. There will be a whole variety of Halloween costumes for players to enjoy. While the event is running new Halloween skins will be featured in the shop every week, and its uncertain if there will be a particular pattern to when these are released. This means it is important to check frequently to make sure you don’t miss out on any of your favourite skins.

The Cubes will continue their campaign to dominate the Battle Royale map later this month. This will include a new Sideways weapon, reintroduced Halloween goods, and a reintroduced LTM. Players may also win free prizes by completing  Cube Challenges.

Fortnite is available across all platforms.
