Sci-Fi Co-Op Shooter ‘Generation Zero’ Release Date Announced
THQ Nordic and Avalanche Studios have not only revealed the release date for their upcoming open world action game, Generation Zero, but also the all-important pre-order goodies, and the Collector’s Edition details. The world of 1980’s Sweden where you take down swarms of robotic enemies will hit store shelves March 26th, 2019 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One for $34.99USD.
For those that need an incentive to pre-order, you’ll receive the exclusive Radical Vanity Pack with 12 additional appearance customization options for your character should you pre-order. In addition, for those wanting the Collector’s Edition, in addition to the game, you’ll get the following:
- A premium Steelbook game case
- A cloth map of the game world
- A t-shirt (large)
- A unique 7-inch Generation Zero take on the traditional Dalecarlian horse statue
- Four concept art postcards
- A premium box to house it all
The Collector’s Edition will set you back $79.99USD.
In Generation Zero, you live in an alternate 1980’s Sweden, where hostile machines have invaded the serene countryside. It’s up to you and up to three of your friends in seamless co-op multiplayer to lure, cripple, or destroy enemies in intense, creative sandbox skirmishes. All the while, you have to discover just what’s really going on.
Generation Zero features a full day/night cycle with unpredictable weather, complex AI behavior, simulated ballistics, highly realistic acoustics, a dynamic 1980’s soundtrack, and persistent enemy damage (damage will remain on the enemy should you run away to regroup, be it minutes, hours or weeks later).
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.
