Surrealist Puzzle-Platformer ‘DARQ’ Headed to Current And Next-Gen Consoles
Finnish developer Dreamloop has scored a deal with Bloober Team’s publishing arm Feardemic to bring Unfold Games’ DARQ to current and next-gen consoles. The psychological side-scroller was released on Steam last August.
While no release dates have been announced, DARQ: Complete Edition will include all of the DLC released for the game, and will release for Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch.
“There’s a pretty amazing amount of detail put into the environments of the game – it makes the allure of the dark and surreal even stronger for us. We have quite a few horror game enthusiasts in the company, myself included, so it has been very exciting to get to work with these kinds of projects,” said Teemu Norvasto, Dreamloop’s Art Director. “As horror game enthusiasts ourselves, we have a great deal of respect for what Unfold Games has done with DARQ and want to bring that eerie magic faithfully to consoles. We’re working closely with Unfold Games to ensure we do so.”
At the moment, DARQ is enjoying a 60% discount until October 17th. So if you haven’t checked it out by now, October is a no-brainer.
In a blast from the past, developer atooi will release today Dementium: The Ward for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The first-person horror shooter originally got its start on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, before making its way to the 3DS in 2015, and finally landing on the Switch last October.
The PlayStation version of Dementium offers up “crunchy retro” and revamped HD display modes (presumably, this is similar to the free update the Switch version received last year), and has been “built from the ground up for the big screen”. Obviously, the game will lose its touchscreen capabilities from the Nintendo consoles, but will still run at a silky 60 frames per second.
Dementium: The Ward centres around William Redmoor, a man with amnesia, who wakes up in a seemingly abandoned medical ward. He soon finds out that he’s not quite as alone as he initially thought, as demonic creatures are roaming the hospital. Equipped with a flashlight and a nightstick, William must not only fend off the creatures, but also solve puzzles and find the exit and escape.
No word on if the sequel, Dementium II (which was also originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS), will be given the same treatment.
