‘Cultist Simulator: Initiate Edition’ Heads to The Nintendo Switch This February

Published

on

Having built up a cult following (no pun intended) on PC and mobile, Weather Factory & Playdigious’ Cultist Simulator will be headed to the Nintendo Switch in the form of the Initiate Edition. The card-based simulation video game which sees you becoming the leader of a cult that dabbles in Lovecraftian horrors will arrive on February 2nd for $19.99.

The Initiate Edition includes the base game and first three DLCs, and will launch alongside a new DLC known as the Exile. The latest and largest expansion to Cultist Simulator, the Exile adds a whole new game mode and more than a third of new content. Launching for PC as well as the Switch on February 2nd, the Exile will set you back $6.99 for the Switch version.

In case you’ve never played Cultist Simulator before, the game features a 1920s-themed setting which sees you not only becoming the head of a cult, but also has you conducting rituals and summoning spirits, indoctrinating innocents into your fold, and ultimately choosing between sane and insane victory conditions. You can grab the game and its DLCs on Steam as well as on Google Play and iOS.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game

Published

on

Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.

Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”

In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”

Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.

Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
