In the mood for a little battle royale fun on your XBox? Well, developer Xaviant Games looks to have the game for you this Friday.
The Culling was recently announced as being available June 2nd in North America and Europe as part of the XBox One Game Preview Program. The game has 16 players duke it out in either team or solo 25-minute matches, where the name of the game is to trap, fight and kill your opponents with a variety of weapons in the name of survival. Once you’re dead, that’s it. Players can gain levels to unlock customizable gear, as well as choose from a selection of perks to give your character the edge.
Battles take place in a variety of locales, from an island to a correctional facility. There will also be special events for those who like a little more variety in their gameplay. To find out more about the game, head on over to its official website.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
