[Trailer] ‘Hellsweeper VR’ Gives You Godlike Powers To Crush Your Foes With Acrobatic Chaos
A first-person roguelike in VR where you slaughter the denizens of the underworld as an undead immortal? That’s what you’ll be getting with
Mixed Realms’ Hellsweeper VR, which just had its roadmap unveiled, alongside its new public alpha demo.
From the makers of Sairento, which has similar first person acrobatic combat, Hellsweeper VR puts you in the role of the aforementioned immortal trudging through the underworld, laying waste to a variety of demonic creatures. Hellsweeper utilizes “an intense no holds barred locomotion system” that enables you to wall-run, powerslide, backflip and more in VR as you juggle enemies, rip them in half and pull off other crazy stuff with your powers.
The devs are still in the midst of developing Hellsweeper VR, though the plan is for the game to have a Rogue-like, Sandbox and Multiplayer modes, with a variety of weapons and spells available to players across a total of 16+ playable maps that explore “different sizes and verticalities.” There will also be an in-game recording camera to capture all of your crazy runs and stunts.
Hellsweeper VR is expected Q3 2022 for Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift S, Oculus Quest 2, Valve Index and the HTC Vive.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game
Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.
Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”
In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”
Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.
Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
