‘Agony’ Delayed from March Release
Originally slated to come out on March 30th, Madmind Studio’s Agony has unfortunately been delayed. This comes after the previous delay last year when the team secured an additional publisher for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This new delay was announced on the game’s Kickstarter page.
“As you all have been curious about Agony we do have some information for you. Sadly we have to inform you that March 30th will not be the release date,” writes Madmind Studio. “Why is this? -With Agony being released across PS4, PC and Xbox we are facing last steps including polishing to support every player- no matter which platform – with the best possible experience. We wish this could have been done faster but ask for your patience to ensure you get the experience you deserver [sic] when Agony is released.”
So, as with the previous delay, it’s an understandable polishing. The good news, however, is that the team has also secured age ratings for the game (a necessary component for a retail release), as well as a list of supported languages. While it’s certainly a bummer that March will end on without us taking a trip to Hell, at least Hell awaits in the future.
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.
