Tequila Works’ moody, post-apocalyptic platformer is being reanimated with the Deadlight: Director’s Cut, due next month for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The game originally released back in 2012 — TJ and I did a co-op review of it — to a mostly warm reception. Its an incredibly stylish, albeit mildly frustrating to play, 2.5D sidescroller with darkly atmospheric visuals and a penchant for environmental puzzles.
It’s also set in the 1980s, apparently. I don’t remember that at all.
When Deadlight returns, it’ll come with improved controls, new animations, added support for 1080p, and a new wave survival mode called, uh, Survival Mode. You can have a look at that in the trailer below.
The Deadlight: Director’s Cut releases June 21 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
