Martin Rumenov K5 Factory has rolled out a major new update for Oktoberfest – The Official Game, bringing a chilling twist to the festival fun with the release of Haunting Grounds. Available now on Meta Quest, this paid content bundle transforms the beloved social VR experience into a haunted battleground where survival is anything but guaranteed.
Enter the Ghost Palace
Haunting Grounds plunges one to four players into a creepy, cartoon-inspired arena, challenging them to withstand relentless waves of supernatural foes. Each session is unique, featuring randomized enemy appearances, wave patterns, and upgrade opportunities. Players begin atop a moving platform, select their weapon of choice, and brace themselves for the chaos ahead.
Whether you’re braving the onslaught alone or teaming up with friends, the objective remains: survive all 10 escalating waves or fall trying.
Core Features at a Glance
- Cooperative play for up to four participants, or solo survival
- Ten increasingly difficult enemy waves
- Weapon selection: choose from a Revolver, Rocket Launcher, or Wand
- Four distinct enemy types—Bats, Ghosts, Bloaties, and Wizards—each with unique attack styles
- Power-up upgrades available between rounds
- “Phased Mode” lets eliminated players spectate as ghosts until the next wave begins
- Leaderboards track scores and stats for competitive bragging rights
How to Access Haunting Grounds
The Ghost Palace bundle is priced at $3 and can be purchased via the in-game Gem Store, the Ghost Palace booth, or directly from the Meta Store. The update is compatible with Meta Quest 2, 3, 3s, and Pro headsets as of June 13, 2025.
For those curious to try before buying, a free trial allows players to experience Haunting Grounds once every 24 hours. After each session—whether you conquer all 10 waves or get knocked out—you’ll need to wait a day before re-entering the arena.
