A few weeks ago TJ gave us a brief glimpse at a brand new horror game entitled Black Death. This game is from the lads and ladettes who brought us the excellent Resident Evil 4-ish horror game Cold Fear, back in 2005, and they even had their hands in the mysterious I Am Alive survival game who’s development has since shifted to Ubisoft Shanghai. Needless to say, they know horror, and more than that, they know how to make good games, and that’s why I’m more than a little excited for this game. Still not sold? Check out some gameplay.

All that is from the prototype so it’s nowhere near finished and much of it could change from the final product. With that said, it still looks fucking fantastic and I’m all for another post-apocalyptic game that forces me to wear a gas mask while terrifying things try to tear me apart (See: Metro 2033). So far this Black Death is PC exclusive and there’s no word yet regarding a release date but I’ll try my best to pry myself from my Xbox 360 to let you know when you can get your hands on this game. I just have to muster the willpower. I can do it. READ MORE

Thanks to a tip from editor Andrej over at The Daily DL we got a tip about a new survival horror game. It is titled Black Death, and is being made by Darkworks. Those who don’t know Darkworks, they have done Cold Fear, Alone In The Dark: New Nightmare (which I recommend), and they were working on I Am Alive (When the fuck is that coming out?), which has since been taken over buy Ubisoft.

Interview With ‘Black Death’ Director Christopher Smith!

Black Death, the latest horror film from ‘Severance’ director Christopher Smith, tells the story of a young monk in 14th century England (Eddie Redmayne) who travels with a group of soldiers to a remote village that has been left mysteriously untouched by the Black Plague. Once there, they must contend with a beautiful necromancer (Carice van Houten) who it is rumored possesses the ability to raise the dead.

B-D reporter Chris Eggertsen recently got on the phone with Smith to discuss the historical horror movie, which is now playing on home-viewing formats (On-Demand, Xbox, Playstation, Vudu, Amazon.com and iTunes) and debuts on March 11th in limited theaters. During their talk the director addressed comparisons to the similarly-themed ‘Season of the Witch’, why he decided to veer away from the more supernatural direction that was present in the original script, and the fine line he had to walk to both satisfy gore-hounds and present a more grounded type of violence that was true to his vision for the film.
