Free Sequel Chapter For ‘Hellpoint’ Now Available
In anticipation of the upcoming release of Hellpoint in two months, publisher tinyBuild and developer Cradle Games have released a free and standalone sequel chapter entitled The Thespian Feast to Steam to tide fans over.
Featuring a new protagonist and set years after Hellpoint, The Thespian Feast is a reworked map from the very first demo Cradle Games had released four years ago, according to Cradle Games’ creative director Matt Boudreau.
“In the final game, this is the sixth map if you follow the main path and I think players will find it interesting to see how much the game has progressed since then,” explains Boudreau. “The area is totally overrun by the Thespian demons, a race of flesh sculpting monsters and blood feasting degenerates. Compared to the 2016 demo, The Thespian Feast features completely new enemies and a new brutal boss fight. And don’t forget the split-screen co-op!”
Hellpoint is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam on April 16.
