‘Oniken’ And ‘Odallus’ to Receive Console Editions This Spring
Previously-enjoyed by PC gamers, a pair of retro-inspired JoyMasher action-platformers are headed to consoles. Publisher Digerati and developer JoyMasher have announced that Odallus: The Dark Call and Oniken: Unstoppable Edition will be headed to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Currently, only the Switch versions of the games have a release date (February 8th), while the PS4 and Xbox One versions have a “this Spring” date. Those who purchase Oniken: Unstoppable Edition on the Switch will receive a 10% discount towards Odallus. In addition, the games will also see a physical release for the PlayStation 4 and Switch in three variations:
- Oniken: Unstoppable Edition (PS4)
- Oniken + Odallus Collection (PS4, Switch)
- Oniken + Odallus Collection Limited Edition (PS4, Switch)
The Limited Edition will include soundtracks for both games, as well as a printed manual.
In Oniken, you are ninja mercenary Zaku, who is the last hope for humanity in a post-apocalyptic future controlleinister corporation. Ins-fair classic 8-bit action/platformers like Ninja Gaiden, Oniken: Unstoppable Edition pits your agility and swordplay against a gauntlet of enemies, traps, and challenging bosses.
In Odallus: The Dark Call, you play as Haggis – a battle-weary warrior who must wield his sword once more to rescue his son from Darkness in a game that pays tribute to classic action-platformers like Castlevania.
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.
