‘Hellpoint’ Delayed to Q2 2020 For PC, Consoles
Like many studios, tinyBuild and developer Cradle Games have announced that they’ve had to delay their upcoming releases. In this case, Hellpoint, which was supposed to arrive on April 16 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam, will now be pushed back to Q2 2020. The simultaneous release for consoles and PC is still planned to go ahead.
Cradle Games plans to use the extra development time to address user feedback received from those who played the free sequel chapter Hellpoint: The Thespian Feast, which was released back in February.
As a way of making it up to players, Cradle Games have released a new launch teaser trailer.
“In light of the unprecedented events facing the world, we have been forced to postpone the launch of the game,” states Cradle Games creative director Matt Boudreau. “We plan to use the additional development time not just for polishing, but also to address the feedback we’ve gathered and make Hellpoint an even better gaming experience for everybody! The feedback of the community had such enthusiasm and energy.”

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
