‘Second Extinction’ Arrives in Early Access Next Month
Those looking to go on a dino hunt won’t have to wait much longer, as developer Systemic Reaction has announced that their co-op shooter Second Extinction will launch in Steam Early Access on October 13 for $24.99. The Xbox Series X and Xbox One versions will launch at a later date.
The Early Access version will feature four heroes, 10 weapons with five upgrade tiers, and six missions across seven regions. Future updates will include loadout modifiers (party buffs for each mission), armour augments, timed game modes including a horde mode and more.
Black Tabby Games has dropped a little update on the progress for Scarlet Hollow, announcing that writing work on their planned expansion to the game’s first five episodes has finished, with the team pivoting to the art. Testing for the update is set to begin in “about a couple of weeks,” though if you’re a Patreon member, you can get early access to it.
The update adds around 70,000 words of new and remastered content, with most of it expanding some of the shorter sections. The update also tweaks certain aspects of gameplay, as well as adding more dialogue (obviously) between characters, and even revamps one of the endings to the fifth episode.
The team also confirmed that writing for Episode 6 is well underway, though no release date has been announced.
Currently in Early Access on Steam, Scarlet Hollow is an immersive horror-mystery with sharp writing, impactful choices, and meticulously hand-drawn art. What was supposed to be a quiet getaway in the rural mountains of North Carolina to meet your long-lost cousin and comfort her through her mother’s funeral, has turned into a nightmare of cryptids and other supernatural horrors. You only have to survive a week. But can you get to the bottom of these mysteries haunting Scarlet Hollow before they claim your life?
