Last week, Naughty Dog confirmed their upcoming action horror game The Last of Us will be getting a healthy dose of DLC for its single-player and multiplayer modes. Today, they’ve revealed more of the latter. According to The Sixth Axis, the multiplayer is called Factions, and it will bring with it two clan-based modes: Supply Raid and Survivors. More after the break, including a fresh batch of screenshots.

Supply Raid has players scavenging for supplies. When a player on your team dies, that’s taken out of the 20-life limit. In Survivors, when you die, you’re out until the end of the round. “When you select a clan, you’ll get a handful of survivors too. The aim is to play matches over a series of days and weeks (each match represents a day) and get enough supplies out on the battlefield to slowly grow your survivor count. Pretty much everything you do in a battle is translated into supplies, including crafting and healing.”

Unsurprisingly, there will be character customization with features and clothing that need to be unlocked. The game will ship with seven maps, with more to come through DLC.

In related news, there’s an amazing web series based on The Last of Us called What Remains. You can watch the first episode here.

‘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.
