‘Darkwood’ Creeps Onto The Switch This May

Published

Fans of Acid Wizard Studio’s Darkwood will be happy to know that they will soon be able to take the game on the go. Originally released in 2017 for Steam, the game has been announced to be receiving a port to the Nintendo Switch, courtesy of Crunching Koalas.

For those who need a reminder, Darkwood is an atmospheric, psychological horror game where you try to survive in a procedurally-generated world. Viewed through a top-down perspective, you must forage for items, craft weapons, and fortify hideouts to fend off hordes of creatures lurking in the woods.

You can find out more about the game on its official site, or if you can’t wait, snag it on Steam.

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
