New ‘Skyrim’ Mod Adds ‘Dark Souls’ Mimic Chests to Your Game
Looking to add a little Dark Souls to your Skyrim experience? Modder Mihail has created a mod that does just that. Unfortunately for those who dread them, Mimics are the mod.
The mod (which you can download here) is pretty self explanatory: Some chests are now replaced with Mimics (from Dark Souls) that attack the player when they attempt to search them for treasure. The Skyrim version is admittedly not as smooth, but it’s still frightening to have the chest pop up and start attacking you.
The Mimic is part of Mihail’s “Monsters and Animas” series of mods, which adds in other Elder Scrolls creatures, such as flying stingrays and this Dwarven Magetta robot. If it’s an excuse for me to fire up Skyrim again (which it is), I’ll do it.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
