While it’s not the March release that Fantastico Studio was hoping for with Episode 1 of Cannibal Tales, those looking to sink their teeth into the game will be able to do so next month! The developer has announced that Episode 1 will be released on May 7 on Steam.

And no, it’s no coincidence that the game is being released on the birthday of the late Cannibal Holocaust director (and writer for Cannibal Tales) Ruggero Deodato. The team explains in the update that the date was chosen “in celebration and tribute” of Deodato, who would be turning 85 next month.

Fantastico Studio also revealed that there is a console release in the works for Cannibal Tales “this summer”. The overall plan for the game is for the second episode to be released in Winter 2024, and will “conclude beautifully” with the third episode, which will be a “3D survival horror adventure that will test your courage and wits.”

The developer has been collaborating with Troglobytes Games for pre-production for the third episode, with the goal to complete development “by 2025.”

From a script penned by Deodato, Cannibal Tales’ first episode, “The Interview”, sees a journalist named Helena determined to get a scoop that will allow her to become a partner at the newspaper. To do so, Helena decides to pursue a mystery surrounding Noah, a young survivor of metropolitan cannibal known as Price.

Aiming to unravel the connection between the two of them, and understand why Noah was spared, Helena presses for an interview. During the interview, the player’s morality will be put to the test as the line between good and evil grows increasingly blurred.
