‘SOMA’ Heads To XBox One December 1st With New Play Mode

Published

on

Two months ago, it was announced (well, noticed) that Frictional Games’ SOMA was headed to the XBox One. Well, it’s confirmed now that the game will be headed to Microsoft’s console for December 1st. And as an added bonus, the game will sport a new feature referred to as “Safe Mode”.

In “Safe Mode”, players will be able to experience the game without the threat of monster attacks. While this might be a bit lame for some players who enjoy the added tension of monsters to the game’s wonderful atmosphere, for those who would rather enjoy this take while they solve puzzles, it’s a welcome addition. And after all, the new mode is entirely optional for players.

PC owners will be receiving the “Safe Mode” update for free once the game launches on the XBox One, while PlayStation 4 owners will be receiving the update at a later date.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
