The beta started on October 2, and I got access and played a few matches. Yup, it's another Call of Duty, all right. It also plays a lot like Black Ops 6, which isn't a bad thing at all as that was a return to form for the franchise's fast-paced multiplayer. This time around, though, it does feel like I'm playing a Black Ops 6 expansion and not a new game.

The short video features mysterious shots of an eerie, empty hotel, accompanied by strange chanting in the background, ending with a voice saying "something new." Along with the teaser, a website went live that looks like it's promoting a fancy investment opportunity. It promises a luxury experience and even includes fake reviews. But fans quickly realized this wasn't just a normal game announcement--it was the start of a hidden puzzle.

Eleven years after P.T. was released, the delisted Silent Hills demo is an example of a project that could have become a great horror game if it hadn't been canceled by Konami. Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya counts himself among P.T.'s fans, and he wants Hideo Kojima to make another game like that. And if Kojima won't revisit the horror of P.T., then perhaps Kamiya will tackle it himself.

This week I finally got to share what I've been working on behind the scenes: Kotaku's review of the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, as well as a deep dive into what makes this reimagining tick. Long story short: I think the game rocks and it's been the most fun I've had with an MGS title in many years. But it's not out yet, so it won't be mentioned in this week's rundown.

Blumhouse Games' next title, Eyes of Hellfire, is getting an open beta starting today before heading to early access on Steam near the end of the month.

In this atmospheric horror title, you'll spend your time as a character stuck in a loop within their home, trying desperately to figure out, well, why.

In Luto, you play a character stuck in an emotional rut and a literal loop. Waking to a smashed bathroom mirror, protagonist Sam exits into an L-shaped hallway, passes some locked doors, heads down the stairs, and out the front door.

The game is designed for 3-5 players who must survive together while questioning the trustworthiness of their friends, making it a unique horror experience centered on relationships.

Capcom developers confirmed that the game's protagonist, Grace, is a descendant of the Ashcroft family from the Resident Evil Outbreak series.

Please, Watch the Artwork is an innovative fusion of psychological horror and American realism that invites players to observe and restore living paintings.

"White Knuckle is a first-person wall-climbing horror game that sees you trying to stay ahead of some kind of murky sludge slowly creeping up an enormously tall silo."
