WWI Horror Game ‘Ad Infinitum’ Set for September 14 Release, Pre-orders Now Available [Trailer]
Way back in March, developer Hekate had announced that they were pushing the release date for their WWI psychological horror game Ad Infinitum to September. Today, the team has narrowed down the release date to September 14th for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series. Not only that, but you can now pre-order the game, as well as spring for the cool Nightmare Edition for consoles.
Available for PlayStation and Xbox, the Nightmare Edition of Ad Infinitum includes a digital artbook and a digital copy of the soundtrack. You’ll also be able to enjoy the game earlier thanks to the 48-hour early access. And, by pre-ordering, you also get a 10% discount on the Nightmare Edition.
Ad Infinitum puts you in the boots of a German soldier stuck in the trenches during The Great War. In this surreal nightmare focusing on atmosphere and story, you must overcome pain, despair and corruption while fighting for your life and sanity. Terrible creatures, death traps, and insane mysteries mark your path through the battlefield. Overcome them to save your soul and reveal more sinister truths.
Flashing between your bedroom in a run-down and deserted manor house and the trenches, through exploration and by solving riddles and puzzles between the walls of your home and the barbed wire of No Man’s Land, you ultimately reveal a chapter in the story of a German family torn apart by war.
When reality is a nightmare, nightmares become real.
Trapped in your mind after experiencing the horrors of war, you face a psychological battle against yourself. Join us in Ad Infinitum on September 14th, 2023.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
