‘Dead Space’ Writer Teases Announcement for PS5 Event
Sadly, while we probably won’t see another Dead Space game for a while, that doesn’t mean that we can’t take solace in “small comforts”. Such as one of the original writers behind Dead Space, Antony Johnston, teasing something big for this week’s PlayStation 5 Event.
Johnston took to Twitter last night to drop news that he’s been working on something for the past few years, and that we “should all watch the PS5 launch event on Thursday”.
As some of you know, I’ve been working on a big videogame for almost 2 years now.
In totally unrelated news, you should all watch the PS5 launch event on Thursday.

Fans then jumped on Johnston, asking for more information. To which Johnston replied:
Hint: you play a character having a really bad time https://t.co/yVvUwZVdS2

Of course, one would immediately hope that this is Dead Space related. After all, Johnston was one of the main writers behind the game that started it all, and also contributed to Dead Space: Extraction and Dead Space Ignition. But, with EA (who still owns the rights) having their own event on June 18th, it would seem more likely that any Dead Space announcement (if there is one) would come from that.
Still, we can all hope that Isaac Clarke makes a return in this next generation of consoles.

Upcoming “Willy Wonka Meets BioShock” FPS ‘Twisted Tower’ Launches on August 18 [Trailer]
After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.
Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.
Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
