New ‘DREDGE’ DLC “The Pale Reach” Lands November 16 [Trailer]
While DREDGE‘s“The Iron Rig” DLC is a ways off, that’s not stopping developer Black Salt Games from cranking out more content, such as in the form of “The Pale Reach”. The newly-announced DLC for DREDGE will arrive on November 16 for $5.99, and introduces players to a new, frozen frontier.
Via PlayStation Blog, “The Pale Reach” is a pristine icy biome that brings with it new story content. You’ll have to upgrade your ship in order to make it through this frozen environment on your mission to retrace the path of a long-forgotten expedition, and discovering its ultimate fate.
Alongside the new story content, “The Pale Reach” will introduce 11 new fish and crab species (not to mention their “divergent” counterparts) as well as an additional Fish Type. You can also earn access to a new item that extends the freshness of your catch, no matter where you’re fishing.
“Doing an icy biome was something we had considered when we were first designing DREDGE, but the other biomes felt better for the story we wanted to tell and the time we had to make the game,” explains Nadia Thorne, Producer at Black Salt Games. “After launch, it became the most requested new biome from players, with the community wondering what it could be like and even creating fan art inspired by it. We’re delighted to be bringing this idea to life for players.”
DREDGE is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
Puppet Combo are once again taking it old-school in more ways than one. Originally released in 2019 on itch.io, the developer has announced that their PS2 Survival Horror-inspired title The Glass Staircase will be headed to Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch on May 24.
Described as “a short-form old-school psychological horror game”, The Glass Staircase takes place in 1922, inside a dilapidated estate converted into an orphanage. Four girls attempt to survive long enough to complete their chores and find a new home. As these things go, unknowable horrors have punctuated the history of the house, and they’re about to learn about them the hard way.
Rather than focusing on grotesque slasher horror, The Glass Staircase is a surreal and atmospheric game, inspired by PS2 survival horror titles like Silent Hill 2 and the GameCube classic Eternal Darkness. Of course, you have to toss in those classic 80s Italian horror movies such as The Beyond, House by the Cemetery, and Suspiria.
Players will be able to customize their experience in The Glass Staircase with a selection of control styles (including the classic tank controls), graphical modes, and CRT effects. You can go for the classic lo-fi experience, or opt for something more modern.
