Fight for Survival Against Infected Humans on a Remote Island in ‘Vorax’ [Trailer]
If you’re looking for a darker take on Sons of The Forest, then IndieGala’s upcoming Survival Horror title Vorax will fit that bill. Set for release Q1 2024, the devs have released a new gameplay trailer showing off the game’s story, as well as news on the game’s roadmap for future updates and enhancements.
Vorax is set on a Mediterranean island that’s been besieged by a mysterious pathogen that’s turned the local populace into horrifying monsters. An army battalion sent to quarantine the population has predictably lost all communication. As a merc sent to investigate, your helicopter crashes on the island, stranding you with low supplies. You’ll need to craft tools, build barricades, fences, and traps as well as find, upgrade, and maintain your shelter to survive while trying to discover the origins of the virus.
As for future plans for Vorax, the team plans on introducing vehicles to the game that will make traversing the map that much easier. That’s probably a good thing, as IndieGala also intends to expand the map’s size for further exploration. The team will also be adding “monster nests” that will provide players with a constant threat of enemies. Speaking of enemies, there will also be new enemies added to the game, along with ranged weapons with explosives for you to use to help even the odds.
And to keep with the survival aspect, Vorax will also see enhancements and additions to its crafting system, including the ability for players to make gunpowder and bullets. Lastly, Vorax will launch with a hefty 40 quests available to players that will take you over the entirety of the island.
Currently, you can check out the free demo for Vorax, as well as wishlist it on Steam.
During the Future Games Show, Bandai Namco and Supermassive have announced the first DLC for Little Nightmares III in “The Backstage”. Featuring new puzzles and challenges, this additional content will take players to the darkest part of the Carnevale, where they’ll meet a new character and face new perils. You won’t have to wait long to get it, either, as Little Nightmares III – The Backstage DLC will release on June 12.
In this new adventure, Low will meet Dime, a new child who wears a torch hat, which turns out to be a very helpful tool for finding their way in what lies beneath the curtains of The Carnevale. The two children will have to face new threats and use their light to find a way to save Alone from the hands of the Puppeteer.
In the original game, players meet Low and Alone, who are trapped within the Spiral, a cluster of disturbing places. The two will have to work together to survive in a dangerous world full of delusions. As they scamper and shelter on their journey to escape the grasp of an even greater threat, their senses may also lead them astray into the shadows.
Little Nightmares III is currently available for PC via Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
