‘Dark Pictures: Switchback VR’ Arrives This February For PSVR2
After announcing last month that they’d be bringing The Dark Pictures universe to the PlayStation VR2 next year with Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Supermassive Games has confirmed that Switchback VR will be a launch title for Sony’s new peripheral. As reported by Eurogamer, Switchback VR will launch on February 22nd, 2023, with an early bird $39.99 USD price tag.
In addition, Switchback VR also has a pre-order bonus available via the PlayStation Store. Those who purchase the title early for the aforementioned $39.99 will also snag a number of cosmetic items for the game, including the Demon Handgun, a premium skull and bones cart, a skull bobblehead, and a special edition gold gun.
Similar to Supermassive’s Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, Dark Pictures: Switchback VR is an on-rails shooter that takes pieces from the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology. Players will meet up with each entry’s antagonist, requiring them to make quick decisions in order to survive. Along the way, you’ll discover how your story connects with each of these worlds, and make sense of the nightmare. And thanks to the PSVR2’s new eye-tracking features and haptic feedback capabilities, players will be granted a more immersive experience than before.
The season finale of The Dark Pictures Anthology in The Devil in Me is currently out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
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.
