‘Routine’ Dev Considering PS4 Version, Controller Support
Lunar Software’s 80’s flavored lunar horror exploration game Routine made our list of 2014’s most exciting horror games for a reason. A few, actually.
For one, it looks great. The 80’s style gives it an almost Alien feel. Its developer promises it will be an unforgiving game that gifts you with a single precious life, which you should do your very best to cherish and protect from whatever it is that’s hunting you through the game’s abandoned lunar outpost. Routine will also feature deadzone aiming, a non-linear world, and no HUD or health packs. Your only option is to run, lest you find yourself looking at a game over screen.
In an update posted on their website earlier today, Lunar Software detailed a few decisions they’re considering. The first is controller support, the second is the “small” possibility that Routine will come to the PlayStation 4, but only after it arrives on PC.
For Xbox One owners, sorry, but it looks like you’re not invited to this shindig.

We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
