New ‘Maid of Sker’ Trailer Highlights Welsh Ghost Story
Today Wales Interactive released a new trailer for their long-awaited survival horror game Maid of Sker, which we first talked about back in 2018. Originally scheduled for a Q3 2019 release, the game will now see a June 2020 release.
For those in need of a refresher, Maid of Sker is based on the true story of Elizabeth Williams, a tragic tale immortalized in Welsh folk song, “Y Ferch o’r Sker”, which is fittingly found in the trailer below. Set in 1898 around Sker House, a real British dwelling that is said to be one of the most haunted in Britain, you play as Thomas Evans, a musician who is thrust into a terrifying battle to save the woman he loves.
Maid of Sker utilizes a 3D sound-based AI system as a core survival gameplay mechanic. Hide, run, creep, trap and distract are some of the techniques you need to master to survive enemies with super hearing. As you progress, enemies become more difficult to avoid, to the point where standing still and holding your breath is the only option. Time it correctly and you’re safe. Run out of breath… and you get the point.
Maid of Sker will be released to PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
