Next-Gen ‘Call Of Cthulhu’ Announced By ‘Magrunner’ Dev

Published

on

Independent game developer Frogwares, the makers of the Cthulhu-meets-Portal puzzler Magrunner: Dark Pulse, announced their return to the works of H.P. Lovecraft with Call of Cthulhu, a next-gen game featuring everyone’s favorite cosmic entity. The reveal was made via Twitter, where a batch of eerie artwork was posted that sets the tone for the upcoming game. Outside of that, all we know about it is it’s coming to PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

Before you excitedly click the Read More link and I lose you to the gorgeous concept art I have beyond the break, if you’re hoping this is a continuation of the trilogy Dark Corners of the Earth started back in 2005, Call of Cthulhu looks to be entirely unrelated to that short-lived series.

Details are scarce now — I’ll update when I have more information on this.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

Published

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
