‘Agony’ Spin-off Game ‘Succubus’ Announced
Despite its lukewarm success, Agony is now getting a franchise of sorts. In a new YouTube video (which you can see below), Madmind Studio is in the process of developing Succubus, a spin-off of Agony. The game will follow the Succubus that appeared in Agony in her quest for revenge over Baphomet.
Unlike in Agony, however, Succubus will involve the player being on the offensive. Rather than relying on the power of possession, Succubus will feature combat using “weapons and pyrokinesis”, an expandable skill tree, boss fights and “a system of weapons and armor that affect a player’s statistics”.
Succubus takes place after the events of Agony, where Nimrod (aka the player from the original game) has taken control of Hell, and has chosen Succubus as his queen. However, the life of royalty doesn’t suit the Succubus, who has instead chosen to live in the wilderness of Hell. It’s in the wilderness of Hell that the Succubus happens upon Baphomet, who with his army, are planning to usurp Nimrod. Unfortunately, the Succubus is caught, betrayed and humiliated by Baphomet. Revenge is now in order.
The game has no release range, other than it coming to Steam.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
