It’s Feeding Time in These New ‘Vampyr’ Screens
Focus Home Interactive has offered up a fresh batch of screens from developer Dontnod’s upcoming horror RPG Vampyr, in which the game’s protagonist, Dr. Jonathan Reid, goes against the Hippocratic Oath so he can suck neck with an unsuspecting stranger. There’s an interesting duality at play here, between Reid’s responsibilities as a doctor living in a city that’s being torn apart by the Spanish Flu and the overwhelming thirst for the blood of those he swore to protect, caused by his recent admission into the vampiric ranks.
Vampyr isn’t an open-world in the traditional sense, but it’s also not completely linear. Think Mass Effect, complete with relationship juggling and a pseudo-open-world divided into smaller, interconnected hub worlds.
The game is coming from the same team that brought us the acclaimed episodic drama Life is Strange, so you can bet the focus will again return to the cast of characters and the dynamic relationships that form between them. Vampyr releases next year for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
According to Polygon, the game will get its first trailer at E3 next month.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
