‘Aliens: Fireteam Elite’ Receiving Cloud-Based Switch Version on April 26th [Trailer]

Published

on

Two years after its initial launch, Cold Iron Studios and Focus Entertainment have announced that they’ll be bringing Aliens: Fireteam Elite to the Nintendo Switch. And seeing as Alien Day isn’t too far away, it makes sense that the Switch version comes out on April 26th.

The Switch version of Fireteam Elite will be cloud based, similar to how Remedy handled the Switch version of Control. The Switch version will also be crossplay compatible with the previously-released PC and console versions.

Pre-orders for the Switch version of Aliens: Fireteam Elite are available via the Nintendo eShop, and come in three flavours: the $29.99 standard base game, the “Into The Hive” edition for $39.99, and the Ultimate Edition for $59.99. The “Into The Hive” edition includes the base game and the Pathogen expansion, whereas the Ultimate Edition includes all that, plus the Endeavor Pass and Endeavor Veteran Pack. There is also a demo available now for you “try before you buy” types.

Meanwhile, the next game based in the Aliens universe, Aliens: Dark Descent, comes out June 20 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam from Focus Entertainment and developer Tindalos Interactive.

Definitive Edition of Throwback Survival Horror Game ‘Doctor Viscera’ Launches June 23 [Trailer]

Published

on

For those who enjoy their survival horror gaming with a side of old-school cheese, you have Liminal Road’s Doctor Viscera. Released last October on Steam, the game is set to receive its Definitive Edition next week on June 23rd, with plans for a release on consoles to be shared soon. The Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition will include a variety of improvements, adjustments, and new content designed to make the experience even more intense. All of this content will be available free to existing owners.

For those not in the know, Doctor Viscera is a throwback survival horror title with PSX-inspired visuals, where you must escape the abandoned GrimmHaus Asylum. You must explore the asylum’s various rooms, find useful items, and solve puzzles to unlock new areas and discover escape routes. At the same time, you’ll need to be on the lookout for the Doctor and his grotesque experiments.

The biggest addition to the Definitive Edition is the Nurse, a brand-new enemy who will actively pursue players throughout the campaign. Although slower than the eponymous doctor, the nurse introduces a completely different gameplay dynamic by using ranged attacks with a firearm, forcing players to rethink their routes, strategies, and survival tactics.

Under certain circumstances, you can disarm the Nurse, creating entirely new situations and possibilities within the game.

Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition also introduces a new area to the map, featuring a tram system. In addition to serving as a new exploration route, it can also be used to quickly escape pursuers and travel between different sections of the asylum.

The update also brings improvements across multiple aspects of the experience, including:

  • Level design changes
  • Puzzle redesigns
  • Performance optimizations
  • New immersive audio system
  • Controller support
  • New menu interfaces

If you’re looking to check out the game before buying it, you can check out the demo that’s also available on Steam.
