With Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz returning to theatres today in Stephen Sommers‘ The Mummy for its 25th anniversary, gamers can also get in on the fun with Dreambyte Games’ FOREWARNED. After being in Early Access since 2021, the recently-released co-op Survival Horror title is now out in full on Steam, with a 40% launch discount until May 9.

FOREWARNED has players and their team of archaeologists diving into the ancient tombs of the Mejai, powerful warriors cursed with unnaturally long life, to recover lost artifacts. Of course, the Mejai aren’t going to let death stop them from protecting their artifacts, as they’ll be sending their acolytes after you to stop your tomb raiding.

Featuring both player-vs-enemy and player-vs-player elements, you must take advantage of every tool at your disposal to navigate through one of twelve maps of ancient Egyptian ruins and survive. Alternatively, you can choose to provide intel to your teammates from outside the ruins in the safety of your excavation tent, using such tools as the radar system or motion sensor array to detect activity.

As you collect gold, you can purchase new equipment and upgrade your existing tools to be more powerful and effective. You may also find rare treasure during your expeditions that will be displayed in your lobby once you collect it.

If by chance you end up dead at the hands of the Mejai, you have a few options. Namely, you can choose to return as a servant of the Mejai, either helping the remaining survivors, or demonstrate loyalty to your new master? Either way, you’ll return as a mummy, complete with unique gameplay mechanics.

And for a truly unique experience, you can choose to play FOREWARNED in PC mode, or play in VR mode for increased immersion with haptic feedback.
