‘Deathground’ Smashes Kickstarter Goal With 18 Days Left; Stretch Goals Remain
Dino Crisis fans apparently have latched onto Jaw Drop Games’ Deathground as the next best thing to a revival. The game’s Kickstarter has now reached its main goal with just over two weeks left.
In a message posted to the site, the team is (as expected) “absolutely ecstatic” for the support. As a result, the team has now shifted to stretch goals, the first of which is getting the Allosaurus into the game at $127K. “This beast sits between the Raptor and the T-Rex on our size chart and is going to terrorize you down those dark corridors.”
Deathground will be released onto Steam Early Access Q3 2021. You can currently wishlist the game, as well.
Path Games provided an update for its in-development underwater haunted house title Dark Mass, revealing that the game will receive a physical release for PlayStation 5 as both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition. The reveal also coincides with a new trailer that delves into the gameplay.
Dark Mass sees players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who, alongside her brother Reed, stumbles upon the wreckage of an ancient ship. But beneath the ship lies they discover a manor lost to time, eerily untouched despite spending centuries in the ocean.
Alice decides to venture inside, but she soon realises that something is watching from the darkness, bound to the manor by a dark curse. Trapped within the manor’s decaying halls, Alice must now uncover the manor’s tragic past, solve puzzles based on real historical torture rituals, and make decisions that will ultimately define her fate.
Both the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition will be published by SelectaPlay, with the Collector’s Edition having been designed “for horror fans and collectors,” bringing together a selection of physical items inspired by Alice’s journey, the mystery of the sunken manor and the unsettling atmosphere of the abyss.
The Standard Edition includes a physical copy of the game, along with an illustrated manual. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition includes the physical copy and manual, along with the following:
- Collector’s Box
- Official Art Book
- Lenticular postcard
- Alice’s turtle bracelet
- Original Soundtrack in Digipack format
- Exclusive Steelbook
In addition to the PlayStation 5, Dark Mass will be coming to the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The game is currently aiming for a fall 2026 release.
