The team has also released the Early Access roadmap, which includes monthly “mini-updates” alongside a bigger Communications Update. No specific dates are available just yet.

The devteam stresses that this current version of Deathground is not representative of the final game, and that players may encounter some issues, which the team is working hard to resolve. Furthermore, feedback is essential, so join the Discord to report bugs and send feedback.

As for what’s included in this Early Access release, the game features two enemy AI types, two training maps and three main maps, six character classes and four loadout items.

Deathground is a solo and co-op survival horror title where players face off against AI-powered dinosaurs in abandoned research facilities overrun by prehistoric threats. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game blends stealth, tension and squad-based tactics in intense, replayable missions. Regardless of solo or team play, survival depends on teamwork, quick thinking and raw instinct.

For those not in the know, Deathground is a solo and co-op survival horror title where players face off against AI-powered dinosaurs in abandoned research facilities overrun by prehistoric threats. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game blends stealth, tension and squad-based tactics in intense, replayable missions. Regardless of solo or team play, survival depends on teamwork, quick thinking and raw instinct.

While faithful to its original vision since its successful Kickstarter five years ago, Deathground has undergone an evolution since its initial inception, thanks to community feedback and Jaw Drop Games’ commitment to deeper, replayable survival gameplay.

Those changes include:

• Expanded Co-op: Originally designed for 1–3 players, Deathground now supports up to four-player co-op, bringing more tactical variety and social play.

• Six Playable Characters: The roster of playable characters has doubled, growing from three to six. These include the Scout, Engineer, Survivalist and newly added Medic, alongside reimagined versions of two of the original Kickstarter characters: the Observer and Hunter.

• Custom Loadouts: Gear is no longer locked to specific characters. Tools like the Motion Detector, Hacking Device, Tranquilizer Rifle and Med-Kit can be equipped by any class, with more planned for future updates.

• Richer Missions and Environments: Beyond the originally promised three maps, Deathground now includes a tutorial, an interactive training range and environments enriched with narrative objects and lore-driven collectibles tied to achievements. Mission objectives are now also more complex, involving multi-stage interactions.

• Deeper Stealth & Survival Mechanics: Stealth has been enhanced with new hiding spots like lockers, barrels, vents, and natural cover such as tall grass. Movement refinements including slide, crouch toggle, peeking and lookback offer tactical control, while sound traps like broken glass raise tension and demand careful navigation.

• Smarter AI with Dynamic Behavior: Enemy AI has been overhauled with new behaviors and matching animations. For example, raptors can now drag players out of hiding and Compsognathus can stalk players through winding vent systems, creating constant tension.

• Defense mechanisms: Players can now fight back, though in limited supply, by throwing objects like bottles to distract or stun dinosaurs, or by using tranquilizers to briefly neutralize them.

Deathground launches into Early Access on Steam at an initial price of $14.99. A limited-time launch discount will also be available for the first two weeks.

The post Dinosaur Survival Horror Game ‘Deathground’ Enters Early Access on October 7 [Trailer] appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

“Our original target release date had been set for a while, but as we moved closer, various factors including the timing of the Steam build approval process and our marketing plans didn’t quite align,” explains the team in a new update. “Given the tight schedule and rather than rush things or launch without the proper visibility and support, we decided it was better to shift the date slightly (only just!) and avoid the Autumn Sale to give the game the launch it deserves.”

With that out of the way, the team will be narrowing things down even more with the Early Access release date being announced later this week in with the official Early Access launch trailer.

And leading up to the eventual launch into Early Access, Jaw Drop Games will be posting a daily Deathground mini-update on the game’s Community Hub. In these mini-updates, the team will pull back the curtain on development progress, showcasing things such as gameplay details, behind-the-scenes, developer interviews and Q&A. Additionally, they’ll also be showing off what’s in store for the future of Deathground with the reveal of the Early Access roadmap.

Fresh from the devs, the featurette reveals new intel on the primary threats players will face, including the cunning Utahraptors, the Compsognathus (Compy) and glimpses of other prehistoric creatures roaming the facility. We also get a first look at the Early Access missions, including a solo tutorial mission that introduces the game’s mechanics to players.

The update also teases the team’s approach to environmental storytelling, highlighting how players will piece together the facility’s dark past through exploration, artifacts and mission objectives. And for those who love eye candy, the featurette includes brand-new visuals, showcasing fresh environments and previously unseen gameplay mechanics. Jaw Drop plans on showing more teasers on future updates.

Currently, Deathground is in private Alpha, accessible exclusively to Kickstarter backers. However, it continues to evolve based on player feedback, with a focus on refining core gameplay systems, AI behavior and mission flow. A closed Beta phase is planned ahead of the Early Access launch on Steam for that Q3 2025 date.

The post ‘Deathground’ Coming Q3 2025, New Developer Featurette Delves Into More Gameplay [Video] appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

The latest gameplay teaser provides the most in-depth look yet at the terrifying world of Deathground. The trailer offers up glimpses of the fast-paced gameplay, along with the new item mechanics and anxiety-inducing environments.

Either alone or with a squad of up to four players, you must use a range of tools and weapons to escape and survive, all the while navigating through the nerve-wracking environments to complete critical missions. All the while, you’ll be stalked and hunted by the game’s AI predators (which featured prominently in the previously-mentioned DevGround developer diary video),  set to the haunting music score by BAFTA-nominated composer, David Housden (Thomas was Alone, Volume, Q.U.B.E. 2). Stealth, combat and teamwork are the only means of survival.

Currently, Deathground is in a private Alpha testing phase, available exclusively to early Kickstarter backers and adopters, with a transition into Beta Testing in the near future.

The post Dino Survival Horror Title ‘Deathground’ Stomps to a 2025 Release [Trailer] appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Titled “DevGround”, the first episode clocks in at under five minutes, but is merely there to catch you up on the status of the game’s development. “We’ve wanted to create these [devlogs] for a while now, as a better way of keeping you all in the loop,” says the team.

Indeed, the video goes over the “juicier” updates for Deathground, as well as showing off the some of the blockouts for the five maps that the team is planning to have ahead of the game’s initial launch. Currently, the Alpha-pledged Kickstarter backers are playtesting the Powerplant map, having already experienced the Mission Command and Bunker maps last year.

The game’s dark and gloomy art style is also touched upon, with the video noting that there’s still plenty of art dressing and lighting passes to during the Alpha and Beta testing periods.

The main focus of the video, however, is the enemy AI, which the video showcases in the example of the Raptor. The animation is also another focus, in order to make the dinosaurs’ movements smoother when they’re in the pursuit of the player. “We’ve been working on lots of little details like that, to make the gameplay experience feel more immersive.”

Check out more in the video below. Deathground is currently available to wishlist on Steam.

The post New ‘Deathground’ Devlog Brings Players up to Speed on Development [Video] appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Coming soon from Jaw Drop Games, you can wishlist Deathground on Steam now.

Crowd-funded on Kickstarter, Deathground is a solo and co-op survival horror game that throws players into a desperate battle for survival against deadly AI dinosaurs.

Key Features include…

• Squad-based survival horror
• Intense and replayable gameplay
• Unpredictable AI Dinosaurs
• Special Character Classes
• Truly terrifying, realistic and diverse environments
• Original Soundtrack

Deathground aims to feature both solo and co-operative gameplay so players can try to survive alone or play in teams of up to 3. Players form a group of professional hunters and survivalists on a mission to the “Deathground” to retrieve high-value loot. 

The game features dynamic gameplay enriched with objectives, stealth and combat; unpredictable AI dinosaurs; special character classes; a range of items and weapons; and truly terrifying environments, harnessing the power of Unreal Engine 4.

The original press release explained that Deathground will primarily be available on PC but the developers are aiming to also bring the game to consoles in the future. 

The post ‘Deathground’ – New Gameplay Trailer Previews the Bloody Dinosaur Horror Game You’ve Been Waiting For appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Quantum Error (TeamKill Media, TBC for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series)

TeamKill is still hard at work on this cosmic horror shooter, which showed up at this year’s Future Games Show after being announced back in 2019. The game strikes a few similarities with DOOM, though Doomguy was never a firefighter at an offshore research facility. Nevertheless, the game’s atmosphere appears to be worth the wait.

Paranoid (Madmind Studios, TBC for PC)

With Succubus out the door this year, Madmind now turns its attention to Paranoid, which has been quiet for much of this year. The game takes place in the 80s, and puts you in the shoes of Patrick, a recluse suffering from deepening paranoid schizophrenia, who after many years is leaving his apartment to reunite with his sister. Of course, the question is, is this is real, or something more sinister?

Ghosts (Jed Shepherd, February 2022 for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC)

The team behind 2020’s breakout horror film hit Host are back together to cook up a live-action interactive horror movie where the player is running a supernatural television show and is tasked with looking after its hosts and crew (played largely by the cast of Host) while something sinister occurs during filming. Interestingly, Ghosts will only work at 10 pm local time, and if you quit before finishing, every remaining character will die. It’ll be fascinating to see if this lofty ambition pays off.

Dark Fracture (Twisted II Studio, Late 2022 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series)

Bloober Team’s subsidiary Feardemic snagged the publishing rights to Dark Fracture this past summer. Given Bloober Team’s penchant for horror, it’s a perfect fit for this psychological horror ditty. Not to mention that the game will draw inspiration from Zdzisław Beksiński and H.R. Giger.

GhostWire: Tokyo (Tango Gameworks, Spring 2022 on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC)

One of the many titles that have been bitten by the pandemic, GhostWire still doesn’t have that definitive date. But, the idea of battling spirits based on Japanese folklore with your own paranormal abilities is intriguing. Not to mention that this is from the folks behind The Evil Within, after all.

Scorn (Ebb Software, October 2022 on PC, Xbox Series)

Development hell is alive and well with Scorn. The title has seen several delays since it was announced way back in 2014 and has had a difficult production ever since. It sure looks good, but the question is will we finally see it this year? Ebb Software has turned to monthly progress updates for fans, but the question of will fans be sticking with the title leading up to its release is the bigger question.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Gun/Sumo, 2022 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC)

Friday the 13th: The Game creators Gun Media had been teasing a new horror project for a while when it casually dropped the Texas Chain Saw bombshell at The Game Awards. Without the legal nightmare of Friday the 13th to strangle development, hopefully, this latest stab at asymmetrical multiplayer encased in horror franchise flesh has a shot at being more successful.

Sons of the Forest (Endnight Games, May 20, 2022, for PC)

After going dark for much of the year, Endnight surprised us all with the release date for Sons of the Forest just last month. There’s still little to go on for the sequel to 2014’s The Forest, other than expanding upon the base-building mechanic found in the previous game, so hopefully, Endnight drops more than just a trailer the next time we hear from them about this title.

System Shock (Nightdive Studios, 2022 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC)

After the lengthy development, 2022 will finally be the year that Nightdive delivers on the remake of one of the most beloved cult first-person titles ever. It’s been a long time coming, and judging from the demo released this past year, it’ll still be worth the wait for many. But after having been in development since 2016, will that interest still remain strong?

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 (TBC on PC, PS4, and Xbox One)

After jettisoning original developer Hardsuit Labs at the beginning of the year, Paradox Interactive hasn’t been forthcoming on the turbulent development of Bloodlines 2. It’s still in development, but as to who’s handling it, Paradox isn’t saying. That doesn’t exactly inspire confidence for fans of the 2004 original, but seeing as how many of the games in this series have seen their fair share of troubled development, it’s, unfortunately, par for the course.

Dying Light 2 (Techland, February 4, 2022, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series)

Once again, another title that has seen a handful of delays. Thankfully, Techland announced last month that Dying Light 2 had finally gone gold. So unless something catastrophic hits, fans will finally be able to parkour and bludgeon zombies to their hearts’ content in the new year.

The Outlast Trials (Red Barrels, 2022 for PC)

Another COVID-related delay, Red Barrels did make an appearance this past summer at Gamescom with a new trailer for the Saw/Escape Room-esque title. The Outlast Trials will drop the single-player focus in favour of being co-op centred title akin to a TV series. Which, coincidentally with the success of Fall Guys and Netflix’s Squid Game, that’s some cool foresight.

Unholy (Duality Games, 2022 for PC)

We haven’t heard a heck of a lot out of the Duality Games camp regarding Unholy, which was first announced back in 2018. The good news is that apart from a devlog posted back in September on Steam, the listing was updated to have a release date of ‘2022’. Still, more info on the first-person stealth horror title’s development would be greatly appreciated.

State of Decay 3 (Undead Labs, TBC for Xbox One and Xbox Series)

Undead Labs and Microsoft still haven’t announced a release date for this third entry, nor have they said a heck of a lot about it (other than Saints Row 5‘s Art Director joining the development). We don’t have many titles out there where you’re killing zombified humans and animals in a frozen landscape, so that area’s still very much ripe for the picking.

Martha is Dead (LKA, February 24, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC)

Okay, all of you who have made the Batman v Superman jokes won’t have much longer to make them regarding Martha is Dead. The psychological horror title has seen a few updates this year, namely the addition of Udo Kier to the game’s cast, and a time-limited demo. The idea of setting the game against the backdrop of WWII is horror enough for some, but there’s always room for more.

Once Upon A Time In Roswell (Quarter Circle Games, TBC on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One)

Another title that seems to be stuck in development hell, the title formerly known as The Peterson Case has been kicking around since 2018, with multiple delays to boot. The Roswell Incident is one that ticks many a sci-fi horror fan’s boxes, so you have to hope that Quarter Circle Games sees the same opportunity for something cool.

Atomic Heart (Mundfish, TBC on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC)

Mundfish’s weird Dystopian Soviet shooter is still being worked on, with Mundfish claiming earlier this year that production is in the final stages. Once again with the BioShock comparisons, players will have multiple endings to go for, along with a crafting system and some RPG elements.

Bayonetta 3 (PlatinumGames, 2022 for Nintendo Switch)

PlatinumGames finally came through this year with a trailer for the long-awaited Bayonetta 3. This is after fans have been clamoring for any news on the third entry for years. Executive director Hideki Kamiya says (in between Twitter blocks) that the game will exceed fans’ expectations, so here’s hoping.

Borneo: A Jungle Nightmare (Fantastico Studio, 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Switch)

Originally scheduled for a Summer 2021 release that came and went with no announcement, Borneo‘s Steam page has now been updated to the nebulous “2022” release date. The idea of a modern adventure game sequel to Cannibal Holocaust is one many fans are looking forward to, especially with Deodato himself being involved in the production.

FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Airdorf, SOON for PC)

Technically, FAITH was released back in 2017, but we’ve been waiting on the third chapter for a while now. The last we’ve heard was a “final preview trailer” that was released back in September, so it (hopefully) shouldn’t be much longer. Players will once again be in the shoes of John Ward, this time searching for a woman named Lisa.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me (Supermassive Games, TBC on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series)

First teased even before House of Ashes was released, the next chapter in The Dark Pictures Anthology hasn’t had an official synopsis or plot detail revealed just yet, though it’s being touted at the “season one finale”. Something about a mad surgeon is always a cool concept, so it’s something to look forward to in the new year since that’s about the turnaround time for these entries.

Evil Dead: The Game (Saber Interactive, February 2022 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch)

Again, we never saw this coming when the trailer dropped during The Game Awards in 2020. Since then, we’ve had reveals for characters across the entire Evil Dead franchise being in the game. Saber Interactive has shown itself to be more than capable of handling multiplayer horror with the superb World War Z game, so taking that gameplay and adapting it to work with Ash and company shouldn’t be a problem. Just please, give us a demo!

 A Quiet Place (Saber Interactive, TBC 2022)

Another “out of left field” announcement, Saber Interactive hasn’t revealed much about the game, other than it being a single-player, story-driven horror adventure title with an original story based on the A Quiet Place franchise. One would hope that the game contains stealth-action elements reminiscent of Alien: Isolation, which is a no-brainer, in my useless opinion.

Deathground (Jaw Drop Games, TBC for PC)

That original Q3 2021 release date was missed, but when a game looks as good (and as promising) as this, we can let it slide. The idea of mashing up Alien: Isolation gameplay with Dino Crisis is still something we’re all in on, and Jaw Drop Games have been keeping up with the regular updates on the game’s development, so fingers crossed we see it next year.

Saturnalia (Santa Ragione, TBC for PC)

Yep, another title that apart from a Halloween gameplay teaser, we haven’t heard much more of in terms of its development. Taking a cue from the one that started it all in Sweet Home, this stylized Survival Horror title has the permadeath mechanic for members of your group, so you’d better work to keep them alive as you navigate the maze of this seemingly abandoned village off the coast of Italy. Well, it’s home to shadow monsters, so it’s not quite abandoned.

AFTERMATH (ONE-O-ONE Games, 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC)

This psychological thriller popped up early this month and looks to scratch that survival itch while focusing on story. Playing as engineer and astronaut Charlie Gray, you’re on the search for your daughter after a series of events cause some otherworldly beings to invade our world. It also helps that Suspiria‘s concept artist Alessandro Bavari is involved with the design of AFTERMATH.

Dread Delusion (Lovely Hellplace, 2022 for PC)

Dread Delusion’s vibrant retro look is reason enough to give it a longing glance, but the fact it’s an occult-flavored fantasy RPG full of floating towns, magic, and monsters gives even more reason to look forward to this DreadXP-published open-world adventure.

Thymesia (OverBorder Studio, 2022 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC)

Another soulslike title, Thymesia takes the dark medieval setting and puts you in the boots of Corvus, who true to his Plague Doctor guise, must harness the power of the plague to slay monsters. Thymesia promises to be a grueling action RPG with fast-paced combat to go along with its plague power system. Originally scheduled for release at the end of December, it was probably wise to hold off until after Elden Ring releases.

Resident Evil Re:Verse (Capcom, 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC)

Capcom just doesn’t seem to have the best luck when it comes to taking Resident Evil online. Originally set to be released the same day as Village, Re:Verse has seen multiple delays for various reasons. The idea of playing as characters from across the series to take on the various bioweapons from across the series in five-minute deathmatches has potential, but that’s contingent on Capcom finally getting it right.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl (GSC Game World, April 28, 2022 for Xbox and PC)

Another poster child of development hell in the industry, though fortunately there’s light at the end of the tunnel for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans after over a decade of development Not much in terms of the story have been revealed, but you’re once again thrust into the Exclusion Zone, this time as a stalker named Skif. Expect the usual battles between factions, mutants, and other weird anomalies.

The Exorcist Legion VR: SIN (Pocket Money Games, 2022 for Oculus Quest, PSVR 2)

Publisher Fun Train is returning for this one, though Wolf & Wood won’t be handling development. Instead, Pocket Money Games is tackling this sequel, which will feature cooperative multiplayer. SIN will also feature a solo option for those who prefer to go at it alone. Though when “SIN” stands for “Safety In Numbers”, you might want to heed that.

The Twilight Zone VR (Pocket Money Games, 2022 for Oculus Quest, PlayStation VR)

In addition to The Exorcist Legion VR sequel, Fun Train and Pocket Money Games are also developing a VR game based on the 1959 series. And much like the TV series, the game will feature three self-contained single-player episodes that range from pure sci-fi to psychological horror.

Bramble: The Mountain King (Dimfrost Studio, 2022 for PC)

A fan of Pan’s Labyrinth and Mundaun? Dimfrost Studio’s horror-adventure title should be of interest. Bramble: The Mountain King combines Norse mythology folklore with inklings of Del Toro’s dark fairy tale that combines stealth, combat and puzzle-solving. The story sees you journeying through the mythical land of Bramble to find your sister, all the while encountering various monsters and creatures.

Luto (Broken Bird Games, 2022 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC)

If you get serious P.T. feelings from this one, you’re not alone. This psychological horror title sees you trapped in your own home, unable to escape due to feelings of loss, and the resulting mental anguish. The mind can be a prison, and Luto certainly looks to exploit it.

Hidden Deep (Cogwheel Software, January 24th, 2022 for PC)

While Carrion fulfilled our dreams of playing as the alien antagonist last year, there’s still the allure of playing as the humans battling “strange anomalies of unknown nature”. This is where Hidden Deep comes in. Using The Thing as a reference, but also Aliens and Half-Life, the action/exploration sci-fi thriller has you and your team of researchers being sent into an underground mining facility to investigate and rescue anyone who’s still alive from the first team, who broke contact after making a strange discovery. Best of all, Hidden Deep sports a variety of co-op options, including local co-op!

Sker Ritual (Wales Interactive, Q2 2022 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series)

Lies of P (Round8 Studio, 2022 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC)

A soulslike take on Pinocchio through an alternate timeline of Europe? Sounds like a cool idea! The game has you playing as Pinocchio who must track down Mr. Geppetto. To get there, Pinocchio must fight through other mechanoids while scavenging supplies, crafting new weapons, and utilizing unlockable skills. Of course, Pinocchio must also lie to people in order to survive, while also becoming more human in the process. There’s always a price, however.

Sucker For Love: First Date (Akabaka, Jan 13, 2022, for PC)

While eldritch horror dating sim Sucker For Love promises ‘no horror element or danger whatsoever’ I think it’s fair to say horror fans can find plenty of appeal in a game with such a delightfully offbeat premise. Perform rituals to get smooches from your tentacle-faced beau? Why, it’s every cosmic horror fan’s dream! No?

Elden Ring (From Software, February 25, 2022 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC

From Software rarely disappoints with its soulslike games, and with the addition of George R.R. Martin’s input, Elden Ring is one of the early must-haves for 2022. Taking place in the realm of the Lands Between, you’re on the hunt for the shards of the Elden Ring in order to restore it, and claim the title of Elden Lord. Of course, you’ll have to deal with tough-as-nails gameplay and the offspring of Queen Marika the Eternal, which now rule the realm.

Instinction (Hashbane Games, 2022 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC)

Another Dino Crisis-inspired title (which is never a bad thing) that hasn’t had many details revealed, other than a slick-looking trailer that gives off some Tomb Raider vibes while focusing on the survival aspect. Hey, when you’re running from dinos, that only makes sense.

The post 40 Horror Video Games We Can’t Wait to Play in 2022! appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

In amongst the talk about the developer’s onboarding of talent from its initial Kickstarter launch, the update shows off more in-production shots of some of the dinos players will be battling. “We’re aiming for Deathground to feel and look devastatingly deadly. While our art team has been devising new 3D visualisations to immerse you into the game, our tech team has been forging movement and life into these scenes.”

The update briefly talks about the challenges the team faces when it comes to the AI, and on making the dinosaurs “convincing, scary and impactful”. The update finishes off stating that the team aims to post updates on Deathground‘s development on the first Friday of every month.

Deathground is currently in development for PC via Steam.

Plus, Jaw Drop Games is made up of some of the folks behind Alien: Isolation, and who doesn’t love that game? You can currently wishlist Deathground on Steam for when it hits Early Access next year.

The post [Gamescom 2020] ‘Deathground’ Stomps into Action in New Teaser appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

As for what’s next, Adam from Jaw Drop Games did reach out to us to mention that the team is currently working on getting more gameplay clips showing off Deathground‘s gameplay mechanics, so stay tuned for that.

Deathground is slated for release on PC via Steam Early Access later next year.

The post ‘Deathground’ Kickstarter Completes With Over £118k in Pledges; New Teaser Video Released appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Not only did the team reach the £100k to get the Allosaurus, but they’ve also revealed new stretch goals with just three days to go. The goals in question are another £5000 each, but it’s certainly doable. The first is a character skin pack, while the second will add the compsognathus into the game. Currently, the total funding is around £101k, so the first stretch goal is within reach.

Deathground will be released onto Steam Early Access in Q3 2021.

We have hit the £100k target for the allosaurus stretch goal! We would like to thank everybody who has pledged so far. On to the next stretch goals! Huge ROAR from all of us @jawdropgames1!#horror #gamedev #indiegame pic.twitter.com/KZx55W485d

The post ‘Deathground’ Reaches Stretch Goal to Bring Another Dino Into The Game; Reveals New Stretch Goals appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

In a message posted to the site, the team is (as expected) “absolutely ecstatic” for the support. As a result, the team has now shifted to stretch goals, the first of which is getting the Allosaurus into the game at $127K. “This beast sits between the Raptor and the T-Rex on our size chart and is going to terrorize you down those dark corridors.”

Deathground will be released onto Steam Early Access Q3 2021. You can currently wishlist the game, as well.

Now obviously, things do look a little rough. Adam from Jaw Drop explains that the footage is from a first playable, with much of the content including dinosaurs, animations and models being in there to get a sense of what the game will be like. Obviously, as production goes on, everything will be updated.

Nevertheless, what’s here, along with the atmosphere and visual effects, is still impressive to see. The best part is that it’ll only get better.

Look for Deathground entering Steam Early Access Q3 2021. And check out their Kickstarter, which is only 30% away from being fully funded.

The post New ‘Deathground’ Gameplay Teaser Ripe With Atmosphere appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

The UK-based team, who are “passionate dinosaur and horror fans” and made up of industry veterans, are currently asking for around 80K GBP to complete the project. Deathground is focused on squad-based and solo gameplay, along with “unpredictable” dino AI that will “hunt you down, influence decision-making and drive a tailored experience.” Judging from the screenshots and gifs, the game definitely evokes survival horror elements (including an Aliens-style motion tracker!), while sporting some great graphics.

Jaw Drop Games also state that the game’s community will “have an active role in helping to shape the game experience”, as well as “an emphasis on player feedback”. As with these Kickstarters, there are several backer levels, depending on your contribution, as well as stretch goals.

The team seems to have laid out a comprehensive plan, including a timeframe that includes a Q3 2021 Early Access release on Steam. So obviously, if you want to see this come to fruition (as Capcom doesn’t seem to want to resurrect Dino Crisis anytime soon), then check these guys out.
