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.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
