New Blood Interactive: ‘DUSK’ Coming to the Switch, New Games ‘ULTRAKILL’ and ‘GLOOMWOOD’ Announced
If you missed the PC Gaming Show, you probably missed out on New Blood Interactive’s announcements. Not to worry, as the dev has kindly reminded fans of just what to expect in the coming months via a Twitter recap.
For starters, if by chance you haven’t checked out DUSK, you’ll be able to grab the retro-inspired shooter on the Nintendo Switch this Halloween! No word on when the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 will be getting the game, but at the very least, you’ll be able to take DUSK on the go this Fall.
And speaking of retro-inspired shooters, New Blood Interactive have another one in the works. Called ULTRAKILL, the game has its origins on itch.io, but is now headed to Steam Early Access later this Summer! ULTRAKILL is a fast-paced ultraviolent old school FPS that fuses together classic shooters like Quake, modern shooters like DOOM 2016 and character action games like Devil May Cry.
The story is simple: Mankind has gone extinct and the only beings left on earth are machines fueled by blood. But now that blood is starting to run out on the surface, machines are racing to the depths of Hell in search of more. Kill fast and with “SSStyle” to rack up combos and gain points that can be used on weapon variations between missions, while soaking in blood regains your health.
And if that’s not enough, we have a new stealth horror game, GLOOMWOOD! Coming SOON™ to Steam and inspired by classic stealth action game, Thief, GLOOMWOOD sees you trapped in a dark, Victorian city consumed by an ancient curse. You must plan your survival and daring escape using nothing but stealth, an arsenal of eccentric weapons, and your wits.
You’ll be arming yourself with weapons such as stealthy canesword, six-shot revolver, folding shotgun, hand-placed traps, rope-slinging harpoon rifle and more. Of course, you’ll have to master the art of stealth to survive. That includes leaning around corners to eavesdrop, peeking through door cracks, as well as picking up and throwing items to distract enemies.

‘Crow Country’ Adds Xbox Series Release for May 9th [Trailer]
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
