Multiplayer Component for ‘The Quarry’ Delayed to July 8
If you’re looking to enjoy multiplayer antics with Supermassive’s The Quarry when it arrives next month, you’ll unfortunately have to wait a bit. The game’s director, Will Byles, took to Twitter to announce that the multiplayer component will be pushed back a month from the game’s June 10th release date, to July 8th.
Per Byles’ message, the team “made the difficult decision” to delay the online multiplayer mode for The Quarry “to deliver the best possible experience” for fans. Luckily, the singleplayer mode is expected to release as scheduled.
From the minds behind Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology (which has its own upcoming new entry starring Jessie Buckley in The Devil in Me), The Quarry centres on a group of summer camp counsellors whose party plans are threatened along with their lives by blood-drenched locals and something far more sinister.
The Quarry, starring genre vets Ted Raimi, David Arquette, Lance Henriksen, and Lin Shaye, will release for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.

Escape a Literal Hellhole in First-Person Survival Horror Title ‘Nature of Dread’ [Trailer]
Described as a nightmare “torn from the pages of Lovecraft, Nikolai Gogol, and Mikhail Bulgakov,” Nature of Dread is a newly-announced survival horror title coming to Steam. This sci-fi horror title has players fighting their way out of a nightmare deep within the northern wilderness, uncovering what has been buried under top-secret clearance for centuries.
The story for Nature of Dread that’s been revealed so far sees players awaken in the classified settlement of Hellhole in the northern forests. Built as humanity’s final defense in a war that has raged for over a millennium, the settlement was designed to contain an ancient evil. As these things go, in a desperate attempt to stop said evil, people tried to contain it, isolate it, and study it.
Ultimately, the military stepped in to do their usual cover-up routine, sealing the borders of the settlement off from the outside world and denying access. Unfortunately, things that were buried tend to have a habit of rising to the surface. Now you’ve been thrust into this centuries-old conflict, where you must decide how far you’re willing to go to protect what truly matters to you.
You’ll be facing off against the spawn of primordial evil, where these creatures learn, adapt, form packs, and change tactics the moment they sense your next move. Luckily, you’ll have plenty of weapons with which to fight these monstrosities, with the devs touting the game having a realistic weaponry system. Of course, since this is a survival horror title, you’ll need to be smart about your gear choices and manage your resources carefully in order to survive.
