The Death Road to Canada Halloween event has been extended this year! Usually it only takes place on Halloween itself, but now it will be available from October 25th to November 1st. Behold these features:

• Start the game with a Rare (Monster) Character, or a Chainsaw Hand. Or discard these choices for something goofy and have severe Halloween Regrets
• The usual jerks and dinguses you find in game may be replaced with costumed Trick or Treaters
• Throwable Jack-o-Lanterns! Rank S- in the Death Road to Canada Official Power Charts in the Throwable Produce Sub-Category

Shortly before the Halloween event, we're also going to launch our next Major Update, NERVE! We will post patch notes when this update is out, but here's a summary:

• AI revamp for how followers prioritize weapons. Weapons are arranged by Tiers now, and followers won't drop a higher tier weapon for a lower one. That means no more having your characters drop a claymore for a tennis racket
• New character customization options, and lots of them, both unlockable and standard
• New buyable upgrades using Zombo Points, including a way to buff Tnomey so you can make Tnomey Trades three times per game instead of just once

I hope everyone likes this update! It focuses on a major rework we've been wanting to do for quite awhile now. We're also going to look into extending other Holiday Events in the future, as so far Halloween is probably the biggest one we have. Of note: mobile and console updates for MANDIBLE have been bogged down by a problem in the chain of how we get the updates out. Steam is the easy platform to get updates out on, and then the rest rely on each other a bit. The plan is to get MANDIBLE + NERVE out at the same time, to catch players up on updates for consoles + mobile! Sorry about the delay, it's unusual for it to get this jammed.
