Co-op Survival Horror Game ‘7 Minutes in Hell’ Out Now in Early Access on Steam [Trailer]

Published

on

There’s plenty of choice when it comes to co-op Survival Horror titles this Halloween, and Gaggle Studios recently added to that choice with 7 Minutes in Hell, which is out now in Early Access on Steam. The team has also laid out its future plans for the title with its Early Access Roadmap, with new features being added on a monthly basis up to the new year.

7 Minutes in Hell tweaks the co-op formula with its livestream game show premise, where contestants risk big to win big. Contestants have seven minutes to snatch as much loot and valuables as they can before making their escape. Of course, to do so, you’ll need to avoid the various monsters, obstacles and traps in the arena, under the watchful eye of the host, JRDarkX. You’ll also need to work together (or work to backstab each other). If you survive, you can try your luck again and come back for even more danger and even bigger rewards.

Don’t have anyone to play with you? Don’t worry, you can try your luck in the arena on your own, but if you mess up, you have no one else to blame.

If you survive your 7 minutes in hell, you can use your winnings after each round to buy more gear, from flashlights to first-aid kits. You can even get perks from your trusty sponsors. Before each round, you can select a sponsor to provide you with some additional support. Receive special items or temporary boosts, the choice in sponsors might make all the difference for you to survive. Honestly, anything you pick up could make the difference between life or death.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]

Published

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.
