Gunfire Games has announced the second premium DLC for REMNANT II in “The Forgotten Kingdom”, which will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series on April 23. This will be the second of three DLC in the previously-announced DLC Bundle for the dark fantasy Action-RPG.

Fans can purchase the DLC Bundle for $24.99 on April 23 to get the previously-released “The Awakened King” DLC, The Forgotten Kingdom DLC, and have access to the final DLC once it’s available later this year. Those who purchased the Ultimate Edition of Remnant II have access to all DLCs at no additional cost

In “The Forgotten Kingdom”, players will piece together the forgotten history of the lost tribe of Yaesha as they attempt to quell the vengeful wrath of an ancient stone spirit called Lydusa. Players will navigate the lingering traces of torment, treachery, and death that haunt the land’s ziggurats, as Lydusa’s living stones wander the crumbling remnants of an ancient civilization in search of fresh blood. This new storyline has you uncovering the secrets of the lost tribe by exploring a mysterious new area within the world of Yaesha, complete with new dungeons, new gear—including a new Archetype, “The Invoker”— and new unexpected allies.

Remnant II is out now on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. Crossplay is also available across PC and consoles.

Puppet Combo Brings ‘The Glass Staircase’ to Steam, Consoles on May 24 [Trailer]

Published

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.
