October has never been bloodier! GORN 2, the gloriously over-the-top sequel to the VR cult hit GORN, has transformed its brutal arena into a nightmare battleground bursting with Halloween mayhem.

The brand-new Fight of the Living Dead free update drags players into a crypt-load of carnage, summoning hordes of undead gladiators, eerie new weapons, supernatural boss fights, and the centerpiece of the madness: the Resurrection Staff — a skull-crowned relic that lets you raise fallen Rokibes from the dead to serve as skeletal soldiers under your command.

But beware: in order to wield the Resurrection Staff, you must first defeat a powerful new boss imbued with the power of revival, turning every encounter into a fresh nightmare. As you clash with endless skeletal soldiers, only those who can harness their full arsenal will survive the Halloween horrors and be granted the prized totem.

Sharpen your blades, brace your bones, and prepare for the Fight of the Living Dead — live now!

Thanks to everyone who's been playing GORN 2! We're excited to now introduce The Mod Update for Sergey where you can now fight in all glory with your very own creations.

While we are incredibly proud to share this update with you, we do so with heavy hearts.

During its development, our dear colleague experienced an unimaginable loss — the tragic passing of his beloved son, Sergey.

In memory of Sergey, and in solidarity with our teammate and his family, we have named this update in his honor.

This tribute is a small gesture to carry his name forward, with love, respect, and remembrance.
