Horror-Centric Arcade Shooter ‘Crossbow: Bloodnight’ Announced For PC

Published

on

Hyperstrange, the developer behind the upcoming Postal: Brain Damaged, has announced a more horror-inclined shooter in Crossbow: Bloodnight, a fast-paced single-player arcade FPS for Steam.

Touting “classic horror vibes”, the story for Crossbow takes place in the 1139, where the Second Council of the Lateran convened by Pope Innocent II has given the thumbs down on the use of crossbow, due to its “ungodly, demonic” power. This puts the Coven of Crossbow in a bind. An ancient order of hunters sworn to guard the balance between the forces of heaven and hell, the Coven is faced with another more pressing issue: The Ancient Horror from Beyond. Arriving in our reality, it has brought legions of creatures with it. It’s up to you to stop them.

As you might expect, gameplay will have you using your crossbow to mow down waves of enemies while jumping and dodging. Don’t worry if you die, as you have an “instant respawn button”, as well as a fast respawn after death, so you can stay immersed in the game.

No release date has been announced for the game, but if you’re looking for a manic fast-paced shooter, Crossbow: Bloodnight certainly looks to fulfil that need.

New “Splendor” Tome Available Now for ‘Dead by Daylight’ [Trailer]

Published

on

Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.

After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.

Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.

As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.

Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.

  • The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
  • Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
  • The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
  • A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
  • The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
  • The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.

Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
