Realms,
is hosting its first ever Halloween themed event and we have a ton of
screenshots for you. The event offers decorations, costumes, mini-games
and even daily in game trick or treating.
celebrating the first Halloween in Free Realms, with weeks of
spooky activities and festive live events,” said Andy Sites,
senior
producer at Sony Online Entertainment. “After a night of
trick-or-treating the fun doesn’t have to end. Dressed as a
chicken,
mummy, witch or any of the other crazy costumes available, kids can
explore virtual neighborhoods with millions of friends from the safety
of their own home.”
Super Spooktacular is scheduled to run from October 14th through
November 11th.
