[Trailer] ‘Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed’ Officially Announced For PS5, Xbox Series And PC
In a move so nice that they’re doing it twice, THQ Nordic has announced during their 10th Anniversary Showcase (after Sony had done it last week) Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed for PlayStation 5, as well as the Xbox Series and the PC via Steam. No release date was announced, but we do get two trailers this time.
According to the announcement, Reprobed is a full remake of the original game, “adding and improving features while (re-)building the game from scratch in shiny Unreal Engine 4 visuals.” The remake will be handled by Black Forest Games, who worked on the remake of the first Destroy All Humans! game.
In Destroy All Humans! 2, set 10 years after the original game, Cryptosporidium-137 (our “hero” from the first game) is dead, and has been replaced with his clone, Cryptosporidium-138. The KGB have shown up, and see the Furons as a threat to the Soviet Union. They destroy the Furon mothership, and now Crypto is out for revenge.
In a blast from the past, developer atooi will release today Dementium: The Ward for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The first-person horror shooter originally got its start on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, before making its way to the 3DS in 2015, and finally landing on the Switch last October.
The PlayStation version of Dementium offers up “crunchy retro” and revamped HD display modes (presumably, this is similar to the free update the Switch version received last year), and has been “built from the ground up for the big screen”. Obviously, the game will lose its touchscreen capabilities from the Nintendo consoles, but will still run at a silky 60 frames per second.
Dementium: The Ward centres around William Redmoor, a man with amnesia, who wakes up in a seemingly abandoned medical ward. He soon finds out that he’s not quite as alone as he initially thought, as demonic creatures are roaming the hospital. Equipped with a flashlight and a nightstick, William must not only fend off the creatures, but also solve puzzles and find the exit and escape.
No word on if the sequel, Dementium II (which was also originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS), will be given the same treatment.
