This Fall, as usual on Halloween, the Secret Neighbor<\/em> is getting a major update that adds new features to the Xbox One version: the new Neighbor class add an extra layer of challenge in the game; a darker visual presentation and Halloween decorations deliver a spooky experience to the players, and gift customization for everyone who\u2019s going to celebrate the anniversary with us.

The new Neighbor class and dark Halloween atmosphere<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new Neighbor moves in town, and now the Neighbor players have more choice on how to deal with the intruders. There are a few interesting details about the new class. The Butcher can hunt down other players by following their footsteps, and grab the players with his grappling hook. Apart from that, the new Neighbor class is able to fake the key marker and ambush other players from dark corners.<\/p>\n

The next big update, to no-one\u2019s surprise, is Halloween-themed. It\u2019s not just the scary decor and pumpkins \u2013 we\u2019re significantly changing the game\u2019s visual presentation. The game is getting a bit darker, and the reasoning behind it is two-fold. Gameplay-wise, it would make a Neighbor\u2019s life a bit easier, with his various traps and other shenanigans being harder to spot. Another reason is to take an advantage of the flashlights and play hide and seek in the dark.<\/p>\n
