Described as “the bastard child of Doom and The 7th Guest“, Killing Time: Resurrected will be coming later this year to PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
Originally released for the 3Do and ported to the PC, Killing Time used a mix of gallows humour, Fmv and puzzles to create a unique experience for players.

Alan Wake 2 was perhaps Remedy’s strangest work. The game wasn’t a huge financial success, and all the money invested in its development and marketing has yet to be recouped. Regardless, the game was well-received by gamers and critics alike.
Sam Lake, the studio’s Creative Director, who has been behind most of its titles, has been one of the pillars that have made the studio what it is. But fans will notice that the studio’s approach to video game creation differs from others, and Lake’s recent tweet sheds some light on why that is so.
According to Alan Wake 2’s Director, One’s Love for an IP Should Not Be Tainted by Bad Sequels Alan Wake 2 was a title that skyrocketed the IP’s popularity.

Slaughterhouses aren’t the most pleasant of places. Knowing this, QUByte Interactive and developer High Room Studio are presenting a unique perspective with their upcoming horror adventure title, Saborus. Currently in “the final stretch” of development, players can check out the demo for Saborus later today when the Otk Games Expo kicks off on Steam, though fair warning, the demo is available for two days only.

Museum staff and familiar faces discuss their favourite paintings as the National Gallery turns 200, in a film that offers personal stories over scholarly pronouncement
Here is a warm, civilised, and at points quite moving film about the National Gallery’s art collection, timed to coincide with the 200th anniversary of its founding in 1824. It essentially consists of a series of talking-head interviews – mostly National Gallery staff, but also a scattering of outsiders, including a handful of relevant national-treasure celebrities – in which they talk about their favourite paintings. The enthusiasms of the gallery personnel come from an admirably wide range, taking in gift shop sales assistant Joshua Pell (The Adoration of the Kings by Jan Brueghel), corporate development manager Helena Fitzgerald (Degas’ Ballet Dancers) and sign-language guide John Wilson (Pietro Longhi’s Exhibition of a Rhinoceros at Venice). The famous faces, on the other hand, are mainstream TV-friendly types such as...

Lilith Walther‘s Bloodborne-inspired Nightmare Kart has finally been released on itch.io, with the racer already reaching over 15,000 downloads, according to 80 Lvl. According to Lilith, the Steam version is still stuck in Valve’s approval process, but should be up soon. Either way, the game is free to play.
Nightmart Kart has already received a few updates to squash a few bugs, as well as tweak a few of the gameplay aspects.
What started out as an April Fool’s joke a few years back evolved into Bloodborne Kart, a kart racer involving the characters of FromSoftware’s PlayStation 4 hit Soulslike. Obviously, Sony caught wind of this, and asked Walther to remove the references to Bloodborne, resulting in the game being renamed Nightmare Kart.

According to industry insider and leaker Midori, also known as MbKKssTBhz5, a Kingdom Hearts and Fortnite collaboration is in the works. While no official date has been set, the news is definitely exciting for fans of both franchises.
The buzz regarding the beloved gaming franchise joining Fortnite’s ever-expanding universe suggests that the series is continuing its recent revival and expansion, and given Disney’s connection to the developers of the two projects, Square Enix and Epic Games, it’s easy to believe this pretty convincing leak.
The Series Joining Fortnite Makes a Lot of Sense
Disney invested $1.5 billion in Fortnite to create an expansive universe.
Firstly, the Disney connection is very relevant. Both of these franchises have strong ties to Disney, making this collaboration a natural fit. This partnership would also be mutually beneficial, as Kingdom Hearts would gain exposure to Fortnite’s vast and younger audience, introducing it to the series.

Just days after the announcement of the Jason Universe, which promised upcoming video games and more as part of a whole new era for the Jason Voorhees character, a new trailer for the relaunch of MultiVersus this morning has confirmed Jason is coming to the game.
WB Games and Player First Games will release MultiVersus on May 28, with the video game uniting pop culture icons from the Warner Bros. brand. That includes Stripe from Gremlins and Jason Voorhees himself, whose movie rights are under the WB/New Line umbrella.
Watch the official MultiVersus launch trailer below for the Jason reveal!
Jason’s addition to MultiVersus is a pretty big deal, as it wasn’t all that long ago that the Friday the 13th franchise’s rights issues spelled the end of his own video game. Now that all rights holders are working together, this is only the beginning of the character’s big return.

After a long and arduous wait, Ghost of Tsushima is about to finally descend into the hands of Steam players. From Sony’s perspective, these past few days must’ve been quite scary, given what happened with Helldivers 2 and what that controversy’s potential impact on their upcoming release could be.
All the worries can be put to rest now, it seems, as Ghost of Tsushima is already topping Steam’s list of best-selling games, showcasing how even the pre-purchase refunds failed to stop the massively anticipated title.
Ghost of Tsushima Currently Stands Second on the List of Steam’s Best-Selling Titles Although Ghost of Tsushima is a commercial success on PC, one can hope it runs well too.
Back when Ghost of Tsushima’s PC port was first announced, people knew the game was going to be big amongst the master race. The game is, after all, the quintessential shogun-samurai fantasy.

The experience delivered by a video game can vary hugely if the developing team makes sure that enough attention is given to the aspect of psychosis. A perfect example of this is the upcoming Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 title, which, apart from using Unreal Engine 5 and Binaural Audio Tech, focuses on the said element of video games perfectly.

The effect of psychosis on gamers is often something that is missed out on by the studios, who generally treat it as mere noise and as a filler to give depth to their characters, instead of using the element to its fullest potential.

Xbox fans have only wanted one thing since Microsoft completed its merger with Activision Blizzard last year: Call of Duty on Game Pass. The mega-popular franchise currently releases at a $70 price point every year, so having it available on the service day one would be a boon for fans.
However, a recent report from The Verge claimed that Microsoft is heavily debating launching new CoD titles on Game Pass, potentially due to the premium sales it’ll inevitably cannibalize. However, all hope isn’t lost yet, because Microsoft has reaffirmed its commitment to the service with a big announcement.

Eight months after arriving on the Nintendo Switch, DreadXP and developer MANGLEDmaw Games have announced that their edutainment horror game Amanda The Adventurer will be getting PlayStation, Xbox releases, as well as releases on Android and iOS later this year. The announcement comes as the teams continue their work on the upcoming sequel.
In Amanda the Adventurer, you are Riley Park. Riley has inherited their Aunt Kate’s house following her death. Starting with the seemingly banal task of digging through their reclusive aunt Kate’s attic, Riley comes across multiple VHS tapes. At first glance, the videos seem innocently childish and charming, depicting two best buddies—Amanda and Wooly—in an edutainment-styled escapade that features that 90’s-style CGI.
As Riley watches more and more episodes of the titular Amanda the Adventurer, a creeping, sickening feeling emerges that something is watching back. Riley soon realizes that Amanda and Wooly seem...

The past week has been one of the most interesting set of few days that gamers got to witness this year. Not only the PC gaming community was able to put a stop to one of the most controversial moves ever made by Sony, but Microsoft has announced how it is closing down several beloved game studios, putting many fans in disbelief.
Microsoft is shutting down 4 game studios
One of the studios shut down during the lay-off was Tango Gameworks, who were responsible for the famous Hi-Fi Rush title. What makes the situation more infuriating for fans is how a remark made by one of the heads implies there is a need for more games like the one stated here, just a day after choosing to put an end to its developing studio.

With MultiVersus returning later this month, WB Games and developer Player First Games appear to have started dropping more incentives for players to return to the game. That involves revealing The Joker as the latest playable character to join the upcoming free-to-play platform fighter, with the legendary Mark Hamill returning to voice the character.
The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer, which appropriately sees Batman (who’s already in MultiVersus) confronting The Joker, who drops a little reference to the version portrayed by Jack Nicholson in 1989’s Batman. No word yet on The Joker’s abilities or moveset just yet.
The Joker joins the aforementioned Batman as well as Harley Quinn in MultiVersus, along with Shaggy and Velma from Scooby-Doo, and Gizmo and Stripe from Gremlins. Again, here’s hoping that the rumour regarding Eleven from Stranger Things, Godzilla and Beetlejuice joining the MultiVersus roster turns out to be true.

After revealing the physical version for the PlayStation 5 back in March, solo developer Carlos Coronado has finally revealed the release date for the digital version of Horror Tales: The Beggar. The follow-up to 2021’s Horror Tales: The Wine will arrive on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC via Steam on June 17th.
On top of that, Coronado will be releasing a demo for Horror Tales: The Beggar later today on Steam. The demo features portions of the first three areas of the game, with some of the content from the main game cut down to make the demo more compact, but also upping the mystery of The Beggar that will be revealed in the full version.
According to Coronado, the release of the demo so close to the launch date is a “big gamble”, but justifies the decision because The Beggar is “a very weird and unique game.
