‘Fear The Wolves’ Leaves Early Access February 6 With Massive Update
According to their latest Steam post, Vostok Games’ battle royale FPS Fear The Wolves (which we previewed here) is set to bust out of Early Access on February 6. Accompanying the launch will be a “massive update” featuring a bunch of new goodies.
The update is expected to go live on February 6 with the full launch of the game, but Vostok is mulling the idea of a “soft launch” a few days earlier to ensure that everything is working properly.
In addition, Fear the Wolves will be free to play from February 6-12 to give those who are undecided a chance to see if they like what the former S.T.A.L.K.E.R. team has been able to cook up. The game will also be on sale during that time, so if you like it, grab it.
So, what’s in that update, you ask? The big addition is a new artifact system. Artifacts are rare items that you can obtain by killing a new mutant known as the wolf matriarch to obtain its heart, or in the new radioactive lockdown areas. The matriarch heart allows you to summon friendly mutant wolves twice to help you fight enemy survivors. Another artifact is the spore artifact. This one gives you an enhanced vision mutation, allowing you to briefly see nearby enemies through walls.
You can check out the other tweaks, such as the new anomalies, AI tweaks, a new prematch system, the new Unified mode and more from the post.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
