Coming out of nowhere, and just in time for the series’ 35th anniversary, Nintendo has unveiled Metroid Dread, the first original 2D-based Metroid game in 19 years. The fifth mainline Metroid game after Metroid Fusion, Metroid Dread will launch on October 8 worldwide.

Dread sees Samus arriving on planet ZDR to investigate a mysterious transmission sent to the Galactic Federation. Once there, Samus is beset by DNA-extracting research machines known as E.M.M.I.. You’ll have to continually evade death at the hands of these machines, discover just what happened on the planet, and escape.

New ‘Necrophosis’ Trailer Dives Further Into Its Dystopian Visuals; Demo Coming Soon [Watch]

After teasing fans with prototype footage back in January, Dragonis Games and Adonis Brosteanu’s first-person horror adventure Necrophosis has received a new teaser trailer, which leans hard into the look and feel of its inspiration in Zdzisław Beksiński‘s art, as well as some Lovecraftian overtones thrown in for good measure.

Despite the trailer being a visual feast with no gameplay at the moment, Dragonis Games will be remedying that with the release of a short demo for Necrophosis “soon”, which aims to “captivate horror enthusiasts and puzzle solvers alike, urging players to uncover the secrets hidden in this twisted reality [of Necrophosis]”.

Necrophosis takes place in an unknown realm where everything is dead and decayed. You wake up to a mysterious figure presenting himself as your guide to this harsh world. Players will go through “a mysterious and macabre series of events”, coming face to face with horrific entities and mind-bending puzzles, where “the boundaries between reality and hellish visions blur into a haunting tapestry of dread.” Each location features its own theme, puzzles, and integral characters, interconnected in a non-linear fashion.

As you progress, you’ll unlock hidden realms and abilities, and encounter “a myriad of chilling sights, urging you to fathom the unfathomable.” Each location will be presented “like a sinister puzzle box” and feature their own set of unique mechanics, accompanied with narrations and famous poems.

Necrophosis can currently be wishlisted on Steam.
