Google updates Google+ and Hangouts to prepare for Android 4.4 KitKat, The Walking Dead gets a sequel, Facebook Messenger is revamped for iOS and Android, and Battlefield 4 is released. Check out this week’s hottest software news on a special Halloween edition of The Softonic Minute.

The Walking Dead gets a sequel. The adventure returns in 2014 in a 5-part episodic release, with new episodes available for download on a regular basis. The protagonist is the young Clementine, returning from season one. Do you have what it takes to return to this zombie apocalypse?

Facebook redesigns Messenger. Facebook has completely revamped the interface for its messaging client. The redesigned app is sleeker and fits much better with the new design of iOS 7 and Android’s Holo interface . With this update, Facebook appears to be taking on messaging rival WhatsApp, but we’ll have to wait and see if it succeeds.

Battlefield 4 starts a new gaming war. The war game from Electronic Arts was released this week, ahead of the release of its rival, Call of Duty: Ghosts. Battlefield 4 has hidden all its gems in multiplayer mode: maps that change suddenly, a ton of vehicles to control and, as expected, more realistic war.

Google prepares for Android 4.4. Hangouts and Google+ were updated this week in preparation for the highly anticipated release of Android 4.4 KitKat. Google+ now includes a smart photo and video editor that can edit and manage files automatically, while Hangouts was integrated with SMS, location sharing, and support for GIFS!
