'Dreams' Celebrates Halloween With Next Week's All Hallows: The Land of Lost Dreams Event - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 13, 2022 @ 1:50 p.m. PDT

Dreams is a sandbox game, an endless explorative journey where players can create and share their dreams, and then surf an endless dreamiverse of single assets, games, animation, music and everything in between.

Dreams is a space where you can go to explore and play the dreams of others and create and share your own.

In Dreams you can create collaboratively with others, on your sofa, live online, or you can build on their creations. You can immediately call up the work of other players, and collage it, remix it, modify it, and make it your own.

Creation, joint or solo, is as fast as sketching. We call it Performance; it's fast, intuitive, and rewarding. It's as simple as moving your controller to create your mark on the world. One button, create your mark.

The annual made-in-Dreams Halloween celebration returns to PlayStation consoles on October 20, 2022 with All Hallows: The Land of Lost Dreams. An all-new theme, packed with frightfully wonderful user-generated content is sure to haunt and delight players. 

Spooky season is nearly here – and what could be scarier than a purgatory dimension haunted by half-finished ideas and forgotten concepts? Our annual made-in-Dreams Halloween celebration is nearly ready to welcome you – and all of your cruelly abandoned WIPs, you monster – to The Land of Lost Dreams.

This year the Dreams coMmunity was asked to design strange and unusual glades for players to explore in our Forest of Gloom, and Cursed Trinkets that represent the essence of their creative energy. And oh boy, do they have a lot of that. Our eyes have seen some truly inexplicable things. The cosmic void will be eating well this year.

‘But when will we get to visit the cosmic void?’, we hear you cry and wail and gnash (you should really stop doing that, it’s terrible for your teeth). We’re delighted to reveal that All Hallows’: The Land of Lost Dreams will be live in Dreams and open to visitors from October 20th, 2022! (Internet connection required for online play.)

What awaits you there? Here’s a quick look at some of the main attractions of the area…

Tall Tales and Quirky Quests

The Land of Lost Dreams is a curious place, with a rich and unnerving history to uncover. You’ll meet, and help out, plenty of odd characters on your main quest by sneaking around, solving puzzles and much more besides. Some faces may even be familiar to those who’ve been following Dreams’ development for a long time…

The Forest of Gloom

One of The Land of Lost Dreams’ most beautiful and unpredictable locales, this explorable wooded area contains all manner of interactive oddities made by the Dreams community. Take a stroll! See the sights! Don’t think too hard about what might be hiding in the bushes!

Cursed Trinket Shrines

Want to soak up some culture? Look no further than The Land of Lost Dreams’ fabulous collection of cursed trinkets, hand-crafted by dreamers. You’ll have to visit some odd-looking places to find them, but we’re assured that as long as you’ve had your tetanus shot, they’re probably safe to visit.

We’re really just scratching the surface here – there’s even more to discover in The Land of Lost Dreams when it appears in Dreams next month. If only there were some kind of travel brochure for would-be visitors to read for more information, provided by a totally legit tourist board? Now that would be useful. Better keep an eye out for anything like that over on our editorial blog, The Impsider.

Streams and Screams!

We’ll also be running two Halloween-themed livestreams over on the official Mm Twitch channel to celebrate the season! The first will be our launch day stream for All Hallows’: The Land of Lost Dreams, at 9am PT / 5pm BST, 20th October, in which we’ll be playing through the full event and checking out plenty of the coMmunity-made goodness on display.

The second stream at 9am PT / 5pm BST on 21st October will be a more general spooky session; we’ll be playing some of the scariest games available in Dreams so you can all have a good laugh at us yelling our heads off while we’re being chased by monsters. And yes – we’ll be wearing costumes.

Not only that, but we’ll also be running our usual Halloween CoMmunity Jam throughout October. Dreams creators love their horror, so you can bet your sweet pumpkins that some terrifying stuff is going to come out of that one. The results will be playable during launch week of All Hallows’: The Land of Lost Dreams, so never fear: there’ll be no shortage of stuff to tickle your scary bone (that’s a thing now, we’ve decided) in Dreams next month.

The thing that unites everything is the feeling of being in a dream.

Dreams is available on PS4 and PSVR at $39.99/£34.99/ €39.99.
