Roguelike Deckbuilding Game ‘Inscryption’ Announced for PlayStation Consoles [Trailer]
Released on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store last year, Devolver Digital and Daniel Mullins Games’ deckbuilding roguelike horror title Inscryption will be headed to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. While the “inky black card-based odyssey” doesn’t have a release date as of yet, we do get a new announce trailer out of it, along with some PlayStation-exclusive features for the game.
For those who aren’t aware of Inscryption (Neil loved it, and named it one of the best horror games from 2021), the game sees you playing cards against a stranger known only as Leshy. In between play sessions of the card game, of which you’ll be building up your deck through insidious means, you can also roam around the cabin, gradually solving a series of puzzles that grant you powers at the card table.
As for the enhancements for the PlayStation version of Inscryption, it all comes down to the controller. For starters, your faithful companion, a talking Stoat card, will play its audio out of your controller as if it were in your hand. Secondly, the atmospheric lighting in the game will spill out from your controller, enhancing the atmosphere if you were playing in the dark, feeling like you’re inside Leshy’s cabin. And of course there’s the Haptic feedback for certain actions you’ll have to undertake, such as using the pliers.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
