Horrorpunk RPG ‘Morbid: The Lords of Ire’ Announced for Later This Year [Trailer]
Fans of Still Running’s “horrorpunk” RPG Morbid: The Seven Acolytes will have more to dig into later this year. Together with publisher Merge Games, Still Running has announced a 3D sequel, Morbid: The Lords of Ire, which is set to arrive in 2023 on Steam.
The story sees the antagonists from the first game, the Gahars, coming back once again. It’s up to you, the the Striver of Dibrom, to stop them once again. You’ll once again have to slay and scavenge your way through a tortured world filled with Lovecraftian horrors and Cronenbergian gore, where you are the underdog.
You’ll be battling your way through the five worlds of Ire – disgusting horrorpunk realms populated by five unique factions, from wintry mountains to rotten cities and beyond. Eviscerate the five fallen Lords of Ire and banish the Gahars.
Featuring an improved version of The Seven Acolytes’ Sanity System, players will experience a dynamic adventure in Morbid: The Lords of Ire that bends and shapes around your actions. Sanity influences how enemies react to you, whilst providing specific perks based on your actions to provide a new, dynamic way to experience the world of Morbid. The Lords of Ire also features revamped weapons, progression and upgrade systems.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
