‘The Chainsaw Incident’ Hacks its Way to Kickstarter
I feel like every other game I write about these days is asking for my money on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or some other crowdfunding site. Revealed in January, The Chainsaw Incident is a gory fighting game that manages to make Mortal Kombat look charming. It’s also seeking to raise a gargantuan sum of cash — $275,000, with stretch goals that reach as high as $2.75 million — on Kickstarter.
The Chainsaw Incident is being crafted by a handful of developers, many of whom are veterans of the fighting genre, having worked on games like Tekken, Virtua Fighter, and Soul Calibur. Its hand drawn art style makes it look deceptively cute, but that idea is quickly vanquished when you see it in action. This game isn’t cute, it’s insane, and I mean that in the best way possible.
If you have some money to spare, you can help this game out on Kickstarter.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
