Published

Indie horror publisher DreadXP has announced that they’ll be hitting the big leagues later this month with a booth at PAX East 2022 in Boston. Along with making their debut as a major trade show exhibitor, DreadXP will be showcasing four of their titles with new hands-on demos for Dread Delusion, My Friendly Neighborhood, The Mortuary Assistant, and SPOOKWARE Multiplayer.

The publisher will also have new merchandise based on their most popular titles at the booth, as well as enter giveaways.

“Almost two years after the release of our very first game, DreadXP will soon celebrate its growth as a games publisher by making its debut at PAX East 2022,” said Ted Hentschke, Head of Productions at DreadXP. “We’re all extremely excited to exhibit at the show for the first time and offer hands-on demos to attendees. And while we’ll never truly leave behind the grungy, dark dwelling where the company’s humble beginnings originated from, we’re excited to see DreadXP enter the big leagues and spread our “positively spooky” brand of games to more fans. We’re only just getting started as well.”

As mentioned, Dread Delusion, My Friendly Neighborhood, The Mortuary Assistant, and SPOOKWARE Multiplayer will all have new demos on hand for players to try. Along with those four titles, Sucker for Love: First Date (which was released this past January with Neil enjoying the game) will also be available for players to try their luck in dating Eldritch horrors.

Dread Delusion is an upcoming open world RPG with a retro-aesthetic. Players will carve their path through flying continents of a shattered land. Discover curious towns, unearth occult secrets, master powerful magic, and change the world through your choices.

My Friendly Neighborhood will put players into the work-boots of Gordon, a repairman tasked with shutting down the sudden broadcast of a cancelled children’s’ TV show called ‘The Friendly Neighborhood’.

The Mortuary Assistant sees you having completed your degree in mortuary sciences, and taking on an apprenticeship at River Fields Mortuary. You have heard rumors of families believing that their deceased loved ones in your care were possessed or otherwise entangled with the paranormal. Late one night, you are called into work to handle some embalmings. The phone rings with the Mortician on the other end. The rumors are true, and you can not leave.

SPOOKWARE Multiplayer is an all-new multiplayer mode is coming to SPOOKWARE (which we reviewed here), DreadXP’s fast-paced microgame collection inspired by classic horror icons.

Attendees can find DreadXP on the PAX East show floor at Booth #20079, in the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, from April 21 – April 24, 2022 during Expo Hall hours (10:00 AM – 6:00 PM ET).

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]

Published

While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.

The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.

As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.

Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
