‘Amnesia’ Meets ‘Dark Souls 3’ in Upcoming Mod

Published

on

Yesterday, we told you about a mod for Amnesia: The Dark Descent that serves as a tribute to Silent Hill. Coincidentally (or not), there’s another mod in the works for Amnesia that brings another popular franchise into Frictional Games’ world: Dark Souls 3. Called Profaned Capital, the still-in-development mod takes a look at one particular piece of Dark Souls lore that is ripe for development.

The mod focuses on the eponymous Profaned Capital, which in Dark Souls lore, was formerly a prosperous city, but is now ruined and largely abandoned. The area exists in the game, but like a lot of content for the Dark Souls games, was trimmed down and feels unfinished. This is where the Amnesia mod comes in. The mod imagines what it would be like to explore those same ruins, albeit with an Amnesia twist: the ideas of sanity and despair, coupled with a decaying, isolated environment.

Here’s the rundown for the mod: Edward Hädelberg, once a successful archeologist, is hired by an oligarch from Prussia to find an ancient capital in the Nordryggen mountains of Norway. Lost capital was believed to be fallen underground during the Titan Wars in Scandinavic lands millenniums ago. Legends state that a huge amount of treasure is hidden within the ruins of the capital. Edward accepts the offer of 10,000 Thallers and heads to Norway. A mysterious and dangerous adventure awaits Edward as he progresses through the lost dungeons full of abyssal creatures.

At the moment, the mod’s creator, Rednie, stated that development was nearly finished. Hopefully things conveniently finish up for an October release.

Thanks to PC Gamer for the heads up.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]

Published

While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.

The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.

As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.

Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
