Fortnite Chapter 2

  • Release Date: October 15
  • Developer: Epic Games
  • Publisher: Epic Games
  • Store: Epic

There’s no denying that Fortnite is one of the biggest games in the world. For the past two years, the game has forever changed the landscape of the industry, and, along with PUBG, has led the rise of the battle royale genre. But, fans were in for a shock over the weekend when an event signaling the end of its tenth season led to the entire world getting swallowed by a black hole. Its world had, quite literally and figuratively, ended.

For almost a day and a half, players and fans stared at a looping screen of infinite darkness, not knowing what would come next. Then came a leaked trailer followed by the official release of Fortnite Chapter 2.

Fortnite Chapter 2 changes the dynamics of the game with a brand new island featuring 13 new locations to explore. New to Fortnite Chapter 2 (but already present in a number of other battle royale titles) are boats. You can journey across the map with your team and fight other groups in naval skirmishes.

Fortnite Chapter 2 also adds a slight emphasis on stealth such as being able to hide inside dumpsters or haystacks. The progression system via the Battle Pass also adds more means of leveling up, earning new skins, or obtaining currency.

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville

Content Drop Weekly Pc Game Releases Plants Vs Zombies Battle For Neighborville Fortnite Chapter 2

  • Release Date: October 18
  • Developer: PopCap Games
  • Publisher: EA
  • Store: Origin

Plants vs. Zombies has been around for a decade now. The first game allowed for some tower defense fun. That was followed by two Garden Warfare games which altered the series by turning it into a third-person shooter. Fast forward and we’ll see the latest title in the franchise, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville.

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville picks up where Garden Warfare 2 left off. Your plants (and zombies) will be battling for dominance via objective-based match modes or regular team deathmatch. There are around 20 classes to choose from and six of these are new to the franchise. Although split-screen/couch co-op is in the game, it’s only available for players on consoles. Sorry, PC players.

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville has been playable for a few weeks now. But, that’s only for owners of the Founder’s Edition. The official release will be later this week.
