‘Deadly Premonition 2’ Available Today on Steam [Trailer]
If you were waiting on Thunderful Games to bring Deadly Premonition 2 to Steam, that day’s finally arrived. During the Future Games Show event earlier today, the game’s director, Swery, announced that the sequel to the cult favourite Deadly Premonition is available now on PC.
Acting as both a sequel and a prequel to Deadly Premonition, Deadly Premonition 2 follows Agent Davis and Agent Jones as they begin a new investigation into the Le Carré serial murders. Set in present-day Boston, the game’s storytelling will see you travel back in time to the town of Le Carré via the memories of former FBI agent Francis York Morgan. These flashbacks will allow you to step into the shoes of Special Agent York to unravel an intriguing and disturbing mystery.
The Steam version of Deadly Premonition 2 brings with it a number of technical improvements: Players can explore Boston and Le Carré in higher resolution, undertake their investigations with more fluidity thanks to reduced loading times and enjoy the improved overall performance.
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.
