New ‘Visage’ Chapter Adds Hours of Content July 3rd
While still in Early Access on Steam, SadSquare Studio’s VR horror game, Visage, is coming together with new content. In fact, the devs have announced that a new chapter for the game is coming July 3rd that will add 4-6 hours of gameplay.
And, coupled with the fact that it’s that time of year again, you can snag Visage with a 20% discount until July 9th.
According to the Steam page, this chapter is the “final step” before the game’s full release. No more content will be made available in the Early Access (except fixes and gameplay changes). More information regarding development, rewards, and more will be revealed next week.
Visage is currently available on PC, with plans for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
