‘Pathologic 2’ Delayed Until 2019, Will Be Split Into Chapters
Three months after that gameplay trailer, and we still don’t have a release date for Ice-Pick Lodge’s Pathologic 2. It turns out that development has been hitting snags, according to a video posted by the devs, in which developer Nikolay Dybowski explains the issues.
From the result of the economic crisis in Russia that in turn caused an investment deal to collapse, player feedback from a recent alpha, to making the game more accessible to players instead of being “back-breakingly hard”, the team has had to pivot. Pathologic 2 will instead be released like its predecessor in separate parts (one for each character), with the first part, The Haruspex, being released in Q2 2019.
However, Dybowski states that the team isn’t abandoning their vision of the game, despite the changes. “It’s still an experiment, still novel. We really hope you’ll appreciate it when you play it and learn the underlying ideas. But we need to modify our approach to presentation a bit.” Furthermore, by releasing the first chapter of the game by itself, the team can gauge what changes need to be made to subsequent chapters, based on how people react to and play the first chapter.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
