Sci-Fi Action Horror Game ‘Dolmen’ Debuting Gameplay Footage During Gamescom 2021
Since we all need more cosmic horror in our lives, Prime Matter and developer Massive Work Studio are bringing to Gamescom 2021 their new sci-fi horror action RPG, Dolmen. The game is aiming for a 2022 release on Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
Dolmen focuses on an alien world known as Revion Prime. Your job is simple: bring back samples of a crystal with particularly unique properties. Namely, they have the ability to allow interaction between realities. You can probably guess what happens next.
Combat in Dolmen revolves around melee and ranged weapons. You’ll have to be smart and switch between the two effectively to survive. You also have to manage your energy. Not only is energy used for ranged weapons, but also for activating “Energy Mode”, which imbues your melee weapons with elemental status effects.
Dolmen will be showcased during the opening night Pre-Show on August 25 at 10:30 am PDT, and again during the Future Games Show on August 26 at 1:00 pm PDT.
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.
