‘Deadly Premonition’ Becomes A Board Game!
First it was The Thing getting its own board game. And now, Access Games’ survival horror cult fave Deadly Premonition will be getting one. Deadly Premonition: The Board Game launched its Kickstarter today, and reached its goal of $50,000 within 24 hours! Right now, the project stands at just over $60,000, with a whole month to go. The campaign is still open, so if you’re interested, you can throw in as little as $3.
The 2-4 player card-based board game is described as a “passion project” created by Samuel Elphick and Daniel Osuna Perez, two members of the Rising Star Games team, has players returning to the town of Greevale in the wake of the murder of Anna Graham, a victim of the Raincoat Killer. You must protect the innocent while determining who’s guilty, as well as discover who’s not who they say they are. “Our vision was to create a compelling, atmospheric game inspired by Deadly Premonition’s delivery of big reveals, plot twists and consequential moments,” said project co-creator Samuel Elphick.”The venture started out as an idea between colleagues. With hopeful optimism we put together a proposal for Swery and he loved it. Way back in June 2015 we created our first prototype for “Incrimination,” which was the skeleton that Deadly Premonition: The Board Game is built upon.”
Speaking of the original game’s developer, Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro, he even recorded a video giving the project the okay (which you can find below). To find out more about the board game itself, hit up its Kickstarter page. And if you haven’t played the original Deadly Premonition, you can grab the Director’s Cut on Steam, or on GOG.com. Deadly Premonition: The Board Game is expected to be released to backers by the end of the year.
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.
