‘Heavy Rain’ PC Demo Available Now
As was stated when the release dates were announced, Quantic Dream have released the demo for the PC version of Heavy Rain. The 45-minute demo lets you play through two chapters in the game’s first act. In the demo you’ll control two characters on the killer’s trail: FBI profiler Norman Jayden and Scott Shelby, a private investigator hired by the victims’ families.
The demo also gives you the chance to see the game running in 4K and at 60fps. Both of Quantic’s other former PlayStation 3 exclusives, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human, will also be receiving demos prior to their release. Beyond: Two Souls‘ demo will be available on June 27.
Heavy Rain will hit the Epic Games Store on June 24, while Beyond: Two Souls will release on July 22. Detroit: Become Human is expected in the fall, but doesn’t yet have a release date for the demo or the full game.
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.
