Multiplayer Co-op Title ‘Paranormal Hunter’ Arrives Later This Month
Co-op multiplayer title Phylakterion will have some competition later this month, as EALoGAMES’ Paranormal Hunter will be releasing into Steam Early Access on May 22. Unlike Phylakterion, Paranormal Hunter will up the ante by including VR support to enhance the experience.
In development since 2020, Paranormal Hunter will have you teaming with up to four friends or going at it alone in various locations, searching for mysterious “symbols of grudges”, which change every playthrough. These “symbols of grudges” contain spirits that must be exorcised, and aren’t too keen on leaving. Luckily, you can use your UV lights to push back against the grudges to buy yourself and your team a few moments to escape if things get too hairy.
Successfully completing a banishment will net you rewards, as well as the ability to purchase useful items to aid your future expeditions. But be warned, failing to survive means losing your extra items.
The team’s goal while the game is in Early Access is to continue to refine and improve the game, while also adding new content. EALoGAMES plans on having the game in Early Access for “roughly 6 months”. In addition to a release on Steam, the game will be headed to consoles in the future, and will feature crossplay support.
Thanks to RelyOnHorror for the heads up!
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
