‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York’ Bites Into The PS4 on March 25
A few weeks back, it was announced that Draw Distance would be bringing Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, only the Switch had a release date (March 24, to be exact). Draw Distance has now rectified that (sort of) with the announcement that the game will head to the PlayStation Store on March 25.
As mentioned before, the console versions of the game will contain additional graphic assets, including new character portraits and location backgrounds, improved audio design, and numerous fixes. The PC version will be receiving the upgrades as part of a free update.
Set in the rich universe of Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition, Coteries of New York presents the struggle for power between two vampiric factions in the Camarilla and the Anarchs. Players choose from one of three pre-defined characters, each with their own selection of powers (Disciplines), different ethical approaches to certain issues, and unique dialogue lines.

Saber Interactive delve into the roots of the horrors you’ll face in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival with the latest developer diary. Once again featuring Pinhead himself, Doug Bradley, along with members of the development team, the video focuses on the disturbing enemies and themes you’ll face on your journey in the game, and how the creation of this content affected the development team.
In addition, we’re given a bit more information on the story, which reveals that players won’t just be dealing with the Cenobites. They will, in fact, have to contend with two other key factions.
The first is the Scarlet Church, a cult led by a charismatic figure named Marlowe. The Church hopes to establish contact with the Cenobites and seeks to use the mysterious Genesis Configuration puzzle box to create a debauched paradise for themselves.
The other group is the Unworthy, once-human wretches who sought after the ultimate experiences of sensation but were denied by Leviathan, ruler of the otherworldly Labyrinth. These rejects of Hell, monsters who think and behave differently from the cultists of the Church, are drawn to the Genesis Configuration as a potential path to redemption.
Both the Scarlet Church and the Unworthy will offer completely different combat experiences, each with their own challenges to overcome. Luckily, you have at your disposal an arsenal of earthly weapons, as well as the power of the Genesis Configuration, which makes use of the game’s grisly dismemberment system. But beware – the Labyrinth has its own unsettling traps and challenges to survive.
Hellraiser: Revival launches October 8 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. Pre-orders are now open.
