VR Horror ‘The Persistence’ Gains New Modes in Free Update Later This Week
Fans of Firesprite Games’ The Persistence will be getting a free update loaded with features later this week. In an update posted to PlayStation Blog, The Persistence‘s game director, Stuart Tilley, has revealed that in addition to a host of accessibility features, the game will feature four brand-new game modes.
Currently, The Persistence only has the main Campaign and a Survival Mode where you play through Campaign again using only 10 clones. The new modes in the update include:
- Glass Cannon – You need to make it through 24 rooms with increasing difficulty to get to an escape pod.
- Campaign+ – Your typical keep all your Gear and Upgrades from your previous Campaign playthrough, but are now faced with an ultra hardcore difficulty mode.
- First Blood – A stealth-based challenge mode where you need to make your way through another huge procedurally generated deck to the escape pod, armed only with a knife.
- Permadeath – If you die once during the campaign, that’s all she wrote.
Also available is Assist Mode. Finding the game too difficult? You can fine-tune aspects of the game’s difficulty to help you get through parts of the game that are proving too challenging, such as enabling infinite ammo, auto shield, reduce damage and more.

Bloody Disgusting and Creep I.E. Con Screening ‘Child’s Play’ with Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent
Looking for a big event to kick off your Summerween?
Creep I.E. Con, one of Southern California’s biggest horror themed conventions, returns for an Aftermath in 2026 — two months earlier than usual! This weekend, the Ontario Convention Center will house over 30 celebrity guests, 170 vendors, and all kinds of tricks and treats courtesy of Bloody Disgusting.
The main event is Saturday night at the Creep I.E. Cinema featuring a screening of 1988’s Child’s Play with stars Brad Dourif, this week’s Emmy-nominee Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent. Note: This is a separately ticketed event within the weekend, so be sure to secure your tickets for the screening and Q&A before they’re all gone.
Beyond the silver screen, Bloody Disgusting will also be hosting panels with stars of the Scary Movie franchise (Tori Spelling, Lochlyn Munro, Simon Rex, Jon Abrahams); return to Spooky World with David Bertolino; take a trip to Woodsboro with Hayden Panettiere; revisit Tales from the Crypt with John Kassir; and go toe to toe with Danny Trejo.
That’s not all. On Saturday at noon PST, we’re hosting an exclusive photo opportunity at our Bloody Disgusting booth with the titular puppet behind Pinocchio Unstrung. Later that afternoon, Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man will be passing out free cold sweets outside at the top of every hour while supplies last.
It all goes down this Friday, July 10th to Sunday, July 12th — at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California. Tickets are selling out fast — in fact, all VIP passes are sold and off the table — so secure your passes ASAP before it’s too late. After all, you don’t want to miss the first real horror event of the year!
