Co-Op Horror Title ‘Devour’ Bites Into Early Access With New Launch Trailer
Who’s ever not in the mood for some good co-op horror action? That’s what developers Joe Fender and Luke Fanning, alongside British indie publisher Straight Back Games are counting on with Devour, which is now available on Steam Early Access, and has a launch trailer to boot.
A prequel to the previously-released two-player co-op game The Watchers, the story for Devour concerns former cult members who must work together to stop their cursed leader Anna Puerta, who is now possessed with the goat demon Azazel, from unleashing an unspeakable evil. Players must burn ritual goats, evade a growing legion of demons, and ultimately hope to break Azazel’s hold over Anna before she becomes too powerful.
Devour can be played with between 1-4 players, with Straight Back Games claiming that “no two playthroughs are ever the same.” The game is currently enjoying a 15% discount until January 4th, so hurry on in and grab it if you and your friends are up for some fun.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
