Throwback Gory FPS ‘HYPERVIOLENT’ Arrives in Early Access This Week [Trailer]
For those that can’t get enough of throwback first-person shooters, Fulqrum Publishing and developer Terminist Arcade have their upcoming sci-fi horror title HYPERVIOLENT on the way to very shortly. The gloriously violent old-school shooter will arrive in Early Access on April 6 via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com.
A mix of 3D environments and 2D sprites inspired by the likes of Build Engine classics like Duke Nukem 3D and Blood, HYPERVIOLENT sees players stranded on Commodus Asteroid 27-C, a remote asteroid-based mining colony. Unfortunately for you, you’ve also found yourself in the midst of an outbreak of violence among the colony’s inhabitants. You’ve got to find the source of the madness that’s engulfed the colony, all the while trying to stay alive.
Luckily, you’ve got a whole selection of weapons at your disposal with nearly endless combinations of dual-wielding that will quickly paint things red in the claustrophobic hallways. However, you’re not Doomguy, so you’ll have to be smart when it comes to managing your resources, as well as keep an eye out for potential ambushes by the numerous enemies lurking the halls.
Terminist Arcade’s plan for HYPERVIOLENT‘s Early Access is to gradually grow the number of available levels in the game, as well as adding new weapons, enemies, bosses and other features. Eventually, the full release will include Multiplayer support for up to 30 players, alongside a variety of other game modes. Currently, the Early Access version includes the first five levels (approximately 4-5 hours of gameplay), and 12 weapons as to turn the ten enemy types and two bosses to paste.
In case you missed out on pre-orders last October for Lost In Cult and Kinetic Games’ Deluxe Edition of Phasmophobia: The Board Game, not to worry. Limited pre-orders for the Deluxe Edition are once again available, but you’ve got to be fast.
As mentioned, the board game first launched for pre-order in October 2025, with the Deluxe Edition selling out almost immediately thanks to its exclusive ephemera and glow-in-the-dark silver ink detailing. This time around, if you’re the really wanting to splurge, you can spring for the limited Signed Edition, which includes the Deluxe Edition of the board game, but with an added card hand-signed by the Kinetic Games team.
This one is even more limited, as there are only 2500 units available.
For those curious, the Deluxe Edition of Phasmophobia: The Board Game includes everything in the Standard Edition of the game, along with the following:
-
3 additional ghost standees with acrylic bases
-
20+ page behind-the-scenes book about the Phasmophobia video game
-

Phasmophobia: The Board Game adapts the hit video game into a tabletop adventure for 1-4 players. Developed in official collaboration with Kinetic Games and created by Lost In Cult, you’ll equip your team with iconic gear and cursed possessions as you investigate the haunted property.
Build a haunted property, full of unpredictable, randomised items. Then, draw a Ghost Type card from the Investigation File. Each Ghost has its own powers, paired with an evidence pool randomised for each playthrough, offering a terrifying challenge for even the most seasoned ghost hunters.
Using the Ghost Behavior board the ghost’s actions become unpredictable, driven by abilities presenting ever-changing challenges that take a psychological toll. The threat escalates as your sanity deteriorates, giving way to more aggressive and dangerous manifestations. So make sure you prepare before heading inside: equip your team with the best ghost hunting equipment found in your Van.
Venture into the residence to uncover cursed possessions and ghostly phenomena before, at last, arriving at the Ghost Room.
The Deluxe Edition of Phasmophobia: The Board Game will begin shipping out Q4 2026.
