YOUR MONTH OCT
It only gets scary at the end
RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2
A new Rockstar game is always an event, and we fancy there’ll be more than a few suspicious ‘sick days’ when this one finally drops. Set in America’s Old West, it sees you assume the role of gunslinger Arthur Morgan, who along with his gang is on the run after a botched robbery. Time to get back on the horse…
HUAWEI MATE 20
With Huawei’s triple-cam P20 Pro currently ruling the smartphone roost, there’ll be plenty of eyes on the launch of the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro. What to expect? They’ve surely got the company’s new Kirin 980 chip, while the Pro model is rumoured to have a gigantic 6.9in AMOLED screen. We’ll find out soon enough.
FORZA HORIZON 4
Ever daydreamed about disrespectfully donutting a supercar around the cobbled streets of Edinburgh’s old town? Well now you can, as the latest entry in Forza’s arcadey Horizon subseries heads to wet and windy Britain.
VENOM
Tom Hardy stars in this Spider-Man spin-off, in which his character is bound to an alien symbiote that gives him superpowers. Going by the trailers, it looks set to honour the famously violent comics in what is a true anti-hero flick.
CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS 4
The news that this year’s CoD wouldn’t have a traditional single-player campaign upset a few, but it does have Blackout, a last-man-standing multiplayer mode inspired by Fortnite and PUBG. With the former ruling servers worldwide, we’re keen to see if Black Ops 4 can shake things up.
