Party-Based Soulslike ‘Deathbound’ Gets New Demo Coinciding With Pax East Appearance [Trailer]

Tate Multimedia and developer Trialforge Studio are taking their upcoming party-based Soulslike in Deathbound to PAX East with a brand-new demo, which fans can check out now on Steam. Of course, if you want to check out Deathbound at PAX East in person this weekend, you can head on over to Booth #14085 and face the Impending Truth on the show floor.

The brand new demo plunges players onto the Lower Streets of Akratya, described as a well-worn battleground taken over by the Church of Death and gruesome creatures. Towards the end of the road lies the Impending Truth, a callous boss born from the essencemancers’ experiments. The road ahead cannot be forged alone. You must call upon the fallen warriors of Zieminal for their ruthless crusade.

“Since Steam Next Fest, we implemented crucial feedback from players, such as improved level navigation, enhanced hit collisions and combat balancing, and tutorial adjustments,” says Trialforge Studio. “Additionally, you will finally be able to go hands-on with Mamdile Ogate. Mamdile is a unique fan-favorite character who specializes in the Afro-Brazilian martial art of Capoeira.”

Deathbound is a new take on the soulslike formula, set in a callous world where Faith and Science clash. You are the product of the Essencemancers, a zealot sect of scholars of the forbidden knowledge to deceive death itself. However, this deception has come at a cost. You are now in a race against time to face your creators before the powerful Church of Death captures them and executes them as heretics.

In a twist unique to Deathbound‘s gameplay, players will absorb the essences of fallen warriors found throughout their journey in order to harness unique powers and abilities. Deathbound offers the ability to craft catered playstyles through its 4-hero party system, where players can dynamically transform, swapping between characters seamlessly. The conflicts and synergies between the fallen warriors greatly impacts gameplay, so relationships must be balanced in order to survive.

Deathbound is currently in development for PC, with a release scheduled for later this year.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on June 4, which means we’re less than one month away from playing.

The developers over at Teravision Games and IllFonic are whetting our appetite even further with two sneak peek videos this week that preview two exciting aspects of the game.

For starters, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game will feature FEMALE KLOWNS, just like the ’80s movie itself, which you can preview in the first video below.

Additionally, you’ll be able to “create your very own Klownsona” in the game, meaning you can adjust the way your Klown characters look. Get a taste of that system below.

And be sure to read our early preview of the game right here!

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game can be pre-ordered right now from the STEAM Store, PlayStation Store & Xbox Marketplace. The game has full crossplay support.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is a 3v7 asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based on the cult horror classic film. When murderous alien Klowns come to feed on the quiet town of Crescent Cove, the locals must work together to fight back and survive the invasion.

Players can team up as either Klowns or humans, choosing from a variety of character classes, to explore an expansive, ever-changing map with creepy surprises waiting around every corner.

  • Take on the role of the iconic Killer Klowns – cooperate in a team of three players, utilize unworldly abilities, hunt humans with zany weapons, and plan your alien invasion to harvest the population of Crescent Cove successfully.
  • Fight back as a team of seven brave citizens of Crescent Cove – explore the city for valuable loot and weapons, avoid getting captured by Klowns, and try to survive the alien invasion.

Developed by Teravision Games and Illfonic, this playfully panic-inducing action experience faithfully recreates the atmosphere of the iconic movie and aims to stir up the asymmetrical multiplayer horror genre in multiple ways. The game is being developed as a live-service title, with multiple content updates planned for post-launch.
