Spooky season is nearly upon us, and that means it’s time for mobile games to roll out content that revolves around all of those things that go bump in the night. Unsurprisingly, turn-based strategy game Phobies is keen to get in on the action. We can only imagine what fresh hell the phobia-centred title has in store in the Carnival of Fears.
Well, it turns out that eight new phobies intend to bring your nightmares to life as part of the Phobies Carnival of Fears event, as well as six new abilities that offer new tactics you can employ to secure victory on the battlefield. Of course, what use is it to call this patch of updates’ Carnival of Fears’ if it doesn’t introduce a spooky carnival environment to do battle on?
Furthermore, you can expect to see an additional ten variations to map layouts, tackle 30 new challenges, experience environments designed by Phobies community map and challenge winners, and grab one of ten new avatars to showcase your love for all things spooky.
When is Phobies Carnival of Fears?
The Phobies Carnival of Fears event lands on October 4, and it brings a host of updates with it that are sure to please players.
