Check Out Some New Black Death Gameplay, It’s Scary Good
A few weeks ago TJ gave us a brief glimpse at a brand new horror game entitled Black Death. This game is from the lads and ladettes who brought us the excellent Resident Evil 4-ish horror game Cold Fear, back in 2005, and they even had their hands in the mysterious I Am Alive survival game who’s development has since shifted to Ubisoft Shanghai. Needless to say, they know horror, and more than that, they know how to make good games, and that’s why I’m more than a little excited for this game. Still not sold? Check out some gameplay.
All that is from the prototype so it’s nowhere near finished and much of it could change from the final product. With that said, it still looks fucking fantastic and I’m all for another post-apocalyptic game that forces me to wear a gas mask while terrifying things try to tear me apart (See: Metro 2033). So far this Black Death is PC exclusive and there’s no word yet regarding a release date but I’ll try my best to pry myself from my Xbox 360 to let you know when you can get your hands on this game. I just have to muster the willpower. I can do it.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
