Developer Demakes ‘Bloodborne’ Into a PlayStation-era Slasher
Bloodborne fans longing for a PC release of the PlayStation 4 hit are long-suffering. But developer Lilith Walther has tried to ease that pain with Bloodborne PSX, a demake of the From Software title that harkens back to the 90s with chunky polygons and PlayStation goodness.
It’s all still early yet, but Walther has been churning out videos and screenshots of the Unreal Engine-developed game in action, which looks very reminiscent of Nightmare Creatures on the PSX. The game even has those infamously wobbly polygons for that extra special retro feel.
Meanwhile, From Software is still working away on Elden Ring, which we’re honestly kind of surprised hadn’t made an appearance last month at The Game Awards. It’d be a great boost to see something about the game this year, so fingers crossed!

Upcoming “Willy Wonka Meets BioShock” FPS ‘Twisted Tower’ Launches on August 18 [Trailer]
After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.
Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.
Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
