Former Red Dead 2 and GTA V developer Valentina Chrysostomou released her newest game as a director earlier this year, Harvest Hunt (spoiler alert, it’s great!). Now to celebrate Halloween the game is set to get its first major update, which is free, Midnight Harvest.
The update will see a whole slate of new features and updates, perfect for those who love this spooky time of year including game-changing new powers, haunting Halloween cosmetics, and a limited time new look for the game’s fabled big bad.
Midnight Harvest will run from October 23rd to November 4th. The two new powers? Vigor Drain which ensures you’re always on the back foot as health depletes with every passing second, and No Exit which guarantees you’ll be trapped fending for your life unless you can find a key and unlock your way out.
Also featured in the update is the new tool, the Repellant. The Repellant is a shrunken skull with bulging eyes which can protect you from a single Devourer attack.
The way to unlock these new powers and tools is quite simple. A new challenge mode delivering a weekly bounty of three objectives, ominously dubbed “Rites” to overcome. If you are successful in completing these challenges you will be rewarded with tokens which you can redeem for all your goodies that you desire.
As mentioned in our review of Harvest Hunt – it’s a solid horror roguelike experience, that was just begging for some extra content. So the team over here at Gamer Social Club are excited to see new things dropping, especially for spooky season!
And for those who haven’t bought the game yet there’s even more good news as it is going on sale as part of Steam’s Scream Fest for 30%. The sale runs from October 28th til November 4th.
