Silent Hill 2 is getting a highly anticipated remake, and you can get advanced access if you pre-purchase it on Steam. Silent Hill 2 is available on Steam October 8th, 2024, but you can play it on October 6th if you pre-purchase the digital deluxe edition.

Alan Wake 2 is a horror RPG game that has a new DLC coming out in October. The highly anticipated DLC called The Lake House will be releasing on Epic Games in October. The developers have been secretive about the new DLC, and players are unclear whether or not the new DLC will follow as a sequel to the previous one released this summer called "Night Springs."
Night Springs turned Alan Wake 2 into the retro horror tv show The Twilight Zone. It's unclear if this final DLC to Alan Wake 2 will follow the same theme, but exploring a dark, desolate forest with only a flashlight as your weapon makes Alan Wake the perfect Halloween horror game regardless.
