‘Oxenfree’ Arrives On PS4 With Free Content
The supernatural teen thriller Oxenfree is available now on PS4, and it’s even better than it was before with New Game+. Night School Studios added the option to their delightfully creepy hand drawn horror game about a gaggle of teens whose night gets ruined in a big way when they try to have a party on an island inhabited by vengeful spirits and nifty doors with locks that respond to certain radio frequencies.
“Every owner of the game should now be able to update Oxenfree and experience the continuation of Alex’s story,” explains an update on the game’s Steam page. “The new mode will allow players to continue beyond the original “ending” into a new and exciting chapter of the game’s story.”
Better yet, it’s free for all. It’ll be like it was always there, just boot up the game and you’ll see it staring back at you like a message scrawled from beyond the grave.
It won’t be exactly like that, but you get it. And if you haven’t gotten it yet, you really should consider getting it. You wouldn’t want to be the only one who doesn’t get it. Get me? Cool.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
