There wasn’t much to go on when we reported on SWERY’s new game entitled The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories. That changes today, as the teaser site is now a full-fledged official site for the game, which now has an official release date of October 11th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam for $29.99 USD. Plus, it has a nice jazzy piano theme playing in the background when you get past the age gate.

Apart from the release date, price and updated website, we also get the official launch trailer, which you can see below.
The plot for The Missing has the aforementioned J.J. Macfield in search of a friend on the Island of Memories. While searching for her friend, J.J. discovers that you can’t die while on the island. No matter if you get your limbs torn off, your neck broken or burned to death, you’ll still survive.
Sounds like typical SWERY.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
