[E3 2021] Plan And Maintain Your Crew in New ‘Chernobylite’ Trailer
It was just last week we got a new trailer for The Farm 51’s upcoming survival horror title Chernobylite. And during today’s PC Gaming Show, they’ve given us another. The trailer this time goes over how you as Igor, a former employee of the Chernobyl Power Plant, must break into said power plant in order to find answers regarding the disappearance of your fiancée, Tatiana.
Of course, those who are accompanying you have other plans. Namely, to steal the mysterious green substance called chernobylite.
The trailer also touches on the game’s base-building mechanics, as well as taking care of and supplying your NPCs with weapons, food, and a place to sleep.
Chernobylite is currently in Early Access for PC on Steam, with a launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and GOG in July. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions are expected later in 2021.
If you haven’t gotten your fill of Backrooms games yet after the success of the Kane Parsons film, Cortez Productions and Perp Games are here to fix that, launching The Backrooms: Lost Tape today on PlayStation 5. Originally released on Steam back in 2022, The Backrooms: Lost Tape ushers you back, quite literally, into the movie theatre.
Separated into two chapters (tapes), you’ll first play as an usher, Josh, who accidentally falls into the Backrooms. As you explore, you will be desperately trying to unravel the mysteries of the intertwined, sprawling yellow rooms to find any means of escape. Each empty space may not be as empty as it seems… malevolent entities stand in your way of freedom.
With the second tape, in an intense mission to find out what happened to Josh, more of the haunting story starts to unfold. Take a deeper dive into the unsettling and eerie world as Nikolas, as this chapter introduces its own unique challenges. Will Nikolas ever discover its secrets and find out what happened to Josh?
The PlayStation 5 release of The Backrooms: Lost Tape coincides with a major update for the Steam version, which has seen the game upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.6. That also entails updated visuals, full controller support, and various bug fixes.
