Multiplayer Co-op Title ‘Paranormal Hunter’ Arrives Later This Month
Co-op multiplayer title Phylakterion will have some competition later this month, as EALoGAMES’ Paranormal Hunter will be releasing into Steam Early Access on May 22. Unlike Phylakterion, Paranormal Hunter will up the ante by including VR support to enhance the experience.
In development since 2020, Paranormal Hunter will have you teaming with up to four friends or going at it alone in various locations, searching for mysterious “symbols of grudges”, which change every playthrough. These “symbols of grudges” contain spirits that must be exorcised, and aren’t too keen on leaving. Luckily, you can use your UV lights to push back against the grudges to buy yourself and your team a few moments to escape if things get too hairy.
Successfully completing a banishment will net you rewards, as well as the ability to purchase useful items to aid your future expeditions. But be warned, failing to survive means losing your extra items.
The team’s goal while the game is in Early Access is to continue to refine and improve the game, while also adding new content. EALoGAMES plans on having the game in Early Access for “roughly 6 months”. In addition to a release on Steam, the game will be headed to consoles in the future, and will feature crossplay support.
Thanks to RelyOnHorror for the heads up!

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
