Liberate Earth’s Twin From the Undead Hordes in ‘Chasing Dead’
In the horror-themed first-person shooter Chasing Dead, the Earth has a twin and it’s populated exclusively by humanoid creatures that are singularly interested in murdering extraterrestrial (extratouristrial?) tourists. When the survey team that was sent in to see what’s up goes silent, a lone marine named Jake is dispatched to the planet’s surface to scavenge anything of value that might’ve been left behind by its members when they were taking turns dying horribly.
If you’re wondering how this Jake fellow could ever hope to survive alone in a world that’s as large as ours and inhabited exclusively by “endless hordes of the undead,” the answer is simple. Just arm the hero with enough guns to pacify an entire civilization.
In other words, the liberal application of 90’s shooter logic solves everything.
Chasing Dead releases later this year for the PC, PS4 and Wii U.
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.
