‘SCP: Blackout’ Developers Tease New Multiplayer Horror Game ‘The Outsiders’ [Video]
For those who enjoyed TheClassifiedX’s contribution to the Dread X Collection in Outsiders, get ready for their newly-teased title in The Outsiders. Rather than building upon the original game that was developed in seven days, The Outsiders is a brand-new multiplayer horror experience with publisher DreadXP.
At the moment, there’s not a lot known about The Outsiders, other than the brief TikTok video shown below, which features what looks to be a labyrinthian mansion and someone sporting a futuristic laser scalpel. From the game’s Twitter page header image, it would also appear that the participants in the game are being watched by an announcer who potentially has the ability to alter the game to make things a bit more interesting.
Apart from their contribution to the first Dread X Collection in Outsiders, which saw you explore a progressively changing house filled with puzzles, TheClassifiedX has also released SCP: Blackout, a branching narrative desktop/VR surreal horror game that has you exploring the SCP Research Site-50 (and running from what’s escaped containment).
TheClassifiedX’s latest title is the psychological horror game Going The Distance, which was released last October, where your celebration of the life of your recently-deceased brother takes a sinister turn.
@outsidersgame It’s gonna be a long night, folks. The Outsiders, a #multiplayer #horror experience. coming soon. #indiehorror #gaming
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
