‘Outbreak: The New Nightmare’ Arrives on PS4 Next Week [Trailer]
When Dead Drop Studios’ Outbreak: The New Nightmare hit Steam back in 2018, no one could have predicted that the game would feel oddly topical today. Which makes its release on PlayStation 4 on August 27th that much more notable. The co-op survival horror title will set you back $12.99 on the PlayStation Store. You can also find it on the Microsoft Store for the Xbox One.
The game has been “massively updated” since its original Steam release, including the addition of local split-screen co-op, graphical and performance upgrades, AI improvements, as well as new content and weapons.
Paying homage to the classic Resident Evil Outbreak games (which Luiz covered just the other day), Outbreak: The New Nightmare is the sequel to Outbreak, which was released in 2017. Outbreak: The New Nightmare has you trapped in Arzt Memorial Hospital after a viral outbreak swept through a town in the central United States. Zombies and other creatures roam the halls of the hospital as you scramble to survive and uncover the source of the outbreak.
For those keen on following up on our mid-year best-of list for video games, iam8bit and Yacht Club Games are teaming up in a new collection for Mina the Hollower, which not only brings the game’s iconic soundtrack by Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro to vinyl, but also offers fans some cool merchandise.
Available for pre-order now at iam8bit, the Mina the Hollower Collection includes the soundtrack on 3xLP ($64.99), a notebook ($19.99) and a Keychain Blind Box ($14.99). Those fans looking to have it all can pick up the entire collection in a vinyl bundle with the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition. All products are available for pre-order today through August 17, with plans to ship in Q4 2026.
The Mina the Hollower vinyl soundtrack is pressed on rich Velvet Purple Splatter Vinyl, and features retro-inspired zoetrope artwork designed by Nimit Malava. The soundtrack also comes with a pair of special 3D glasses that enhances the cover art, paying homage to the retro nostalgia of the old-school, chip-tastic tracks composed by Yacht Club Games’ Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro.
iam8bit also offers up a series of collectible keychains as part of a Blind Box set. Those who purchase will receive one of six randomized Mina designs rendered in high-quality, squishy PVC rubber, with a Secret Chase Rare in the mix for some lucky buyers. Keychains are available to purchase individually or bundled in a set of three, and purchasing the bundle guarantees three unique keychains.
Lastly, there’s the Mina the Hollower Notebook, a 240-page notebook that replicates Mina’s in-game journal and is brought to life in a forest green faux-leather, with beautiful gold embellishments on its cover.
As mentioned, for completionists, you can grab the entire collection in the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition, ($89.99). The bundle comes with the soundtrack, one Keychain Blind Box and Notebook.
And if you haven’t jumped into Mina the Hollower, you can find the game on PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2.
