Each game is celebrating this terrifying time in its own ways.
What you need to know
- As we enter Oct. 2021, the year's spooky season is officially upon us, and many games don't want to be left out.
- Both Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons have announced their respective Halloween celebrations, known as Spookyfest and Spookier Fall.
- Spookyfest adds two new Minecraft Dungeons-inspired Character Creator items to the Marketplace, and a new free skin pack.
- Spookier Fall will offer unique rewards and challenges in Minecraft Dungeons, but we don't have many details yet.
October is already upon us, and for many that means the beginning of exciting and sometimes-macabre celebrations of spooky season. Mojang Studios isn't one to be left out, and is once again joining the festivities with two limited-time Minecraft events. Minecraft is gaining "Spookyfest," while Minecraft Dungeons celebrates with "Spookier Fall," a continuation of last year's Minecraft Dungeons Halloween event.
Minecraft and Minecraft Dungeons both are some of the best Xbox games out there, so it makes plenty of sense that both should participate in a beloved holiday. We wouldn't be surprised if some spooky toys and gifts for both games started popping up, but for now we'll have to be content with their Halloween events.
Here's what you should know about the Spookfest and Spookier Fall events.
Minecraft
Minecraft's Spookyfest revolves around the Minecraft Marketplace, of course, with new limited-edition items being added to the storefront throughout the month of October. This does mean that Minecraft Spookyfest really only applies to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, and not the legacy PC version, Java Edition. Here's what you need to know about Spookyfest.
- On Oct. 13, a Minecraft Dungeons-inspired Character Creator item based on the Jack-O-Lantern will be added to the Marketplace, and will be free until Nov. 2
- On Oct. 19 a Minecraft Dungeons-inspired Character Creator item based on the Cauldron will be added to the Marketplace, but will be a premium paid item
- On Oct. 26, the Halloween Friends skin pack will be added to the Marketplace, and will be free until Nov. 2
- If you purchase certain Minecraft items from certain websites, you can get a code for the Minecraft Crafty Costumes skin pack
Minecraft Dungeons
We actually don't have details on Minecraft Dungeon's Spookier Fall event, other than that it will take players on new adventures through the game, in exchange for (probably) Halloween-themed spooky gear and rewards. Mojang has stated they'll share more details on the Spookier Fall event throughout the month, so it's safe to assume the Spookier Fall event isn't kicking off right away.
