Halloween Update Now Available for ‘Amnesia: The Bunker’ [Trailer]

Published

on

Frictional Games has unleashed the Halloween update for Amnesia: The Bunker onto PC and consoles today. And as reported, the update brings several new features to Amnesia: The Bunker, “really switching up the gameplay, adding new horrors and heaps of replay value.”

First and foremost is the “Shell Shock” difficulty, which functions as a sort of Hardcore mode for the game, and includes some of the following changes:

  • New creature behaviors that increases unpredictability.
  • Sublevel Fuse System that requires the player to restore electricity to turn on the lights in each of the Bunker’s zones.
  • Players will now lose health while bleeding, bandages will stop bleeding but don’t restore health, while medkits stop bleeding and restore health.
  • Lockers and their combinations are in random locations.
  • Saving your progress costs fuel.
  • The unlimited supply of fuel, and already difficult-to-access resource, is now locked and has its own combination located somewhere in the Bunker.
  • Your revolver is now locked in storage locker, and not available from the start.
  • The Safe Room is now constructed of wood, making it possible for the monster to break in.

The update also includes a Custom Mode, which allows players to customize their play experience with 30+ settings and parameters.

Most of these are New Game+ features and are only accessible by completing the game on any difficulty once. Or, you can cheat and get them unlocked, thanks to Frictional Games’ Fredrik Olsson.

Amnesia: The Bunker is currently available for the Xbox Series, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]

Published

on

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
