Call of Cthulhu, Lego Harry Potter Collection, more coming to Xbox Store this week
“If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.”
Xbox One owners will be able to answer the Call of Cthulhu this week, as Cyanide Studio will bring an adaptation of Chaosism’s tabletop RPG to Microsoft’s console. Players will be subjected to “creeping madness and cosmic horror” as they attempt to solve an “otherworldly mystery” on a mysterious island.
Thankfully, the whimsical Lego Harry Potter Collection is also now available to download for the Xbox One. The new package includes enhanced re-releases of both Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7

New Retail Releases: Call of Cthulhu, Diablo III: Eternal Collection, Lego Harry Potter Collection, More
It’s All Hallows Eve Eve Eve, and while you might assume that that’s the perfect time to unleash a terrifying new survival horror game on the populace, you’d be (mostly) wrong. Instead, game publishers are following up last week’s launch of Red Dead Redemption 2 with a slew of re-releases and a smattering of smaller games.
But don’t worry fright fans, a monstrous entity from beyond our human comprehension will also make an appearance on store shelves this week…
H.P. Lovecraft’s greatest creation, the elder god Cthulhu, will return to video games this week with the release of Call of Cthulhu from Cynaide Studio. The PS4 and Xbox One game is based on the popular tabletop RPG, players must infiltrate an island of “unfriendly locals” and thread the needle between “sanity and psychosis” to uncover the truth. Call of Cthulhu will also be available to download for the PC.
Another fictional godlike being drives the story behind Blizzard’s Diablo III: Eternal Collection, which makes its way to the Switch for the first time this week. The Eternal Collection includes the original Action RPG, as well as the Reaper of Souls expansion, the Rise of the Necromancer Pack, and an exclusive Ganondorf Armor Set.
A very different set of magical spells will be cast in the Lego Harry Potter Collection, which will be released for the Switch and Xbox One this week. The compilation includes both Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7.
And speaking of compilations, Square Enix will package together the entire Kingdom Hearts saga this week for the PS4 with Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far.
Finally this week, we loop back around to a scary sight with Digital Dreams Entertainment’s Mutant Football League: Dynasty Edition, a retail release of the supernatural sports sim for the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.

My Hero One’s Justice, Lego Harry Potter Collection, Mutant Football League, more coming to Nintendo eShop this week
It’s another packed week for the Nintendo eShop, and the newest update for the online storefront even includes a few Halloween-themed surprises.
But first, Bandai Namco will bring My Hero One’s Justice to the Switch on October 26. The fighting game is based on the popular My Hero Academia anime and it allows players to “battle through iconic moments” in Quirk-to-Quirk battles.

Mutant Football League: Dynasty Edition will also be available to download for the Switch on October 30, and players can dig in to the strategic options available in the brand new Dynasty Mode, or they can tackle the action on the gridiron with the “deep strategy and deadly humor” the game is known for.

“Come on, boys!” EA and DICE are heading back to the frontlines in Battlefield 1, which launches this week for the PS4. The game will be available to download this Friday, but PS4 owners can get it early if they’re willing to spring for the Early Enlister Edition, which includes bonus downloadable content, or the Ultimate Edition, which comes bundled with the post-launch Premium Pass.

Batman: Return to Arkham will collect Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City as a single package with “fully remastered and updated visuals” and all previously-released downloadable content. And the Lego Harry Potter Collection brings together Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 with newly redone graphics.
Over on the PS3 side of the PlayStation Store, players will be able to continue Batman: The Telltale Series with this week’s launch of Episode 2: Children of Arkham.
