October Games Teams With Full Moon Features to Create Game Based on ‘Puppet Master’! [Trailer]
If you’re in the mood for more asymmetrical multiplayer mayhem in the vein of Dead By Daylight, October Games’ Horror Legends might be your thing. Released last week, the devs have a DLC treat for those who’ve already taken the plunge: they’ve partnered with Full Moon Features to not only do a crossover with Ted Nicolaou’s 1991 film Subspecies, but the devs are creating a game based on Puppet Master!
Horror Legends pits legendary monsters against unsuspecting Cast members as the latter tries to achieve objectives in order to escape the level. The Legends can employ minions to wear down the Cast, making them easier to kill. However, the Cast have their own unique abilities and loadouts.
The first DLC for Horror Legends has October Games bringing the bloodthirsty vampire Radu Vladislas from Subspecies into the game, complete with Anders Hove reprising the role by lending his voice to Radu. In addition, the Subspecies are here as Radu’s minions, and increase in numbers as Radu feasts on players. The DLC also contains 10 Cast skins (aka the game’s Survivors), featuring Full Moon branded T-shirts.
But the bigger news is that October Games is working on Puppet Master: The Game, featuring the likes of Blade, Pinhead, Tunneler, Jester, Six-Shooter and more. There’s not much info at the moment on the game, although it’ll be coming to Steam in late 2022.
Horror Legends is available now on PC via Steam.
Just as advertised, Wales Interactive’s follow-up to 2020’s Maid of Sker in Sker Ritual (check out Harrison’s review) has left Early Access today, and is now available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, with crossplay available for PC and Xbox users. Alongside all of the content from the PC Early Access version, the massive 1.0 update introduces new objectives, weapons, story content and more.
“We are super excited to bring Sker Ritual to players on console and PC.” said David Banner, CEO & Co-Founder at Wales Interactive. “Over the past two years, our core team of five has been working non-stop to implement community feedback from the PC Early Access, ensuring the 1.0/console launch is the complete package. We cannot wait to see the community response to Sker Ritual.”
In Sker Ritual, players will battle hordes of horrific enemies, alone or in up to four-player co-op, and attempt to survive the onslaught of Sker Island’s vicious Quiet Ones. Gun down masses of enemies, collect Celtic God powers, upgrade an arsenal of steampunk weapons and attempt to defeat the evil on Sker Island.
Sker Ritual features four unique locations to explore in the Cursed Lands of Lavernock, Ashes of Sker Hotel, Sewers of the Dead, and Deadly Lover’s Fortress. You’ll have numerous secrets to discover, optional objectives, and Easter Eggs which progress the story from Maid of Sker’s evil ending. Players will battle the Quiet Ones alone or with up to three additional players in online co-op, with the hordes scaling based on the player count.
Killing enemies offer a chance to drop powerful Miracles, each offering a choice of three upgradable powers. Bound to a Celtic God, each upgrade comes with a different rarity, core attributes and power. You’ll need it, as The Quiet Ones are back, and they’ve brought friends. Sker Island is crawling with new enemies and elites, each with their own abilities.
