Telltale’s Bringing ‘7 Days to Die’ to PS4, Xbox One
Telltale more or less owns the world of episodic video games right now, thanks to a stellar development model and a continuously growing portfolio that already features The Walking Dead, Fables, Borderlands, Game of Thrones and Minecraft, with more on the way, including Batman later this year and something Marvel-related in 2017.
They’ve dominated their space, and now they’re looking to replicate that success in publishing, starting with The Fun Pimps’ open-world survival horror game, 7 Days to Die.
I’ve spent more than 50 hours in the game since it arrived on Steam Early Access more than two years ago. It’s an amalgam of various genres (FPS, tower defense, zombies, light RPG) and mechanics (crafting, looting, mining, exploring, killing zombies) that I find frighteningly addicting.
When 7 Days to Die comes to the PS4 and Xbox One later this year, it’ll bring even more ways to play it, either locally via split-screen, or online via its PvE/PvP survival mode, which they’ll be expanding with new multiplayer modes that will be unveiled in the near future.
7 Days to Die arrives this summer.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
