Concept Art For Limbo Developer’s Next Project Leaks Out
My love for the fantastically creepy puzzle platformer Limbo is no secret. I’ve been anxiously waiting to hear about developer Playdead’s next project, like will it be Limbo 2, or something brand new? If this art is anything to go by, it looks like it’s going to be a little of both, actually. Some concept art for the studio’s next title, dubbed “Project 2,” has leaked out and it looks like a slightly more colorful if not still incredibly dreary (and I mean that in the best way imaginable) platformer. Head past the jump for more!
In the concept art that you can see above, the game share’s Limbo’s dark, atmospheric nature, side-scrolling platforming, and also follows a young boy. This time around it’s in 2.5D, has some color, and “tells the story of a boy’s struggle against evil forces trying to take over the world through questionable experiments on human bodies.” Sounds intriguing. Maybe that thing the boy is dragging in the picture is one of those “questionable experiments.”
Playdead CEO Dino Patti described the game as similar to Limbo, only “more weird in many ways.” I am all for weird.
No word yet on a release date, but there’s a chance this won’t be coming out until 2014. Yikes, that’s a long wait. Until then, you can bask in the warm knowledge that this wonderful game will be coming to the PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
