‘The Vanishing of Ethan Carter’ Heads to XBox One January 19th With New Mode
It’s taken a while, but The Astronauts’ award-winning 2014 horror-adventure The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is finally making its way to XBox One. The BAFTA-winning game will arrive on Microsoft’s console January 19th, and will set you back $20 USD. In addition, the game will also support 4K resolution on your shiny new XBox One X.
Further sweetening the deal is a new Free Roam mode, a much-requested feature by players to the devs, which now allows the player to explore Red Creek Valley without all of that murder stuff going on.
Originally released way back in 2014 on Steam, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter sold 60,000 copies in its first month on sale. The PlayStation 4 received a port the following year. The story for the game has the player assuming the role of Paranormal investigator Paul Prospero. Prospero receives a fan letter from one 12-year-old Ethan Carter, inspiring him to come to Ethan’s hometown of Red Creek Valley, Wisconsin. Upon his arrival, however, Prospero begins experiencing paranormal phenomena, as well as evidence of some recent dark happenings in the tiny town.
The Astronauts’ upcoming game, Witchfire, was revealed at last year’s The Game Awards.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
