• Every house now has its own look and sound: its own colours, reflections and music, and rooms that echo. • All-new music and a new scare. • A new loading screen shows the house you are about to enter, and moving between menus and nights is smoother. • Who are you? now shows each house's own special place. • A redesigned Night Pass and Your Records. • Smoother stairs: the camera stays steady. • More natural skin and faces. • Fixes: a black screen after losing in Last One Standing, gloves flickering while running, and more.

Two new last-one-standing modes. • The Last Door (4 players, Ravenhall): the doors break one by one. When the last falls, two hatchets drop somewhere in the house. Run for them. • Hatchet Night (10 players, Harrow's Fields): everyone starts with a hatchet, and the dark closes in field by field. • The fallen come back as ravens and give the others away. • Hatchet skins, a notch for every five you put out, monthly seasons. • The winner's show: a hatchet combo, a backflip and a dance.

Three huge houses, gifts for him, and new menus. • New menus: the title, the shop, the wardrobe and the settings are now notes and photos pinned up in the house, with the house and its monster alive behind them. Your points are gold pumpkin coins, so what they buy is clear at a glance. • The Ashford House, the Wren Hotel and the Snowbound Lodge are now three huge houses, each built its own way. The hotel's palm court rises two floors to a glass roof; the lodge's great hall is open to the rafters, with a fire in its stone hearth. • The old hallway house is gone. Halloween door to door, the Seven Nights, the daily house and your first night all happen in the big houses. • He has a gift every night. Phantom: he vanishes and comes back with no sound or light to give him away. Silent Step, Rush, Hatchet (a hit leaves you limping), Unseen, and Heavy Hand, which smashes a door to pieces for the rest of the night. Keen Ear and Crow's Eye work all night long. • Playing as him, you choose his gift before the night. • Your character faces where you look as you walk, and so does he. • The title screen is set in your own house.

The stairs now walk like the floor: the stick goes where you look, let go and you stop, turn at the landing and carry on. Stepping off, the camera stays where you left it. Be him: the stairs stay in his own eyes, the look is yours, his candle lights the way, and you can catch them on the stairs too. Fixed: In the Ashford House, starting the next night straight away could let you walk through walls.
