Ultra-Violent FPS ‘PIGFACE’ Sees You as a Contract Killer Out for Revenge [Trailer]
DreadXP has another ultra-violent first-person shooter for gamers, thanks to solo developer titolovesyou’s PIGFACE. Initially demonstrated as a combat demo on the game’s itch.io page, the full version will be released to Steam, featuring numerous missions, weapons, armor, and equipment. And for PAX East attendees, DreadXP will have a brand new demo at the convention.
PIGFACE casts players as Exit, a terrible woman who has done terrible things and now it’s time to do worse things for someone even more terrible than you. However, they know what you’ve done, and they don’t mind using blackmail to turn you into their gun-for-hire. As you wake up in an abandoned warehouse covered in your own blood, you hear a phone ring from across the room. They’ve just called to let you know that they’ve drilled a bomb into your head, and now they have a job for you.
As a result, you must complete contracts for those holding you hostage. Using whatever is available to you, be it shotguns, rifles, pistols, hammers, landmines, or grenades, you just have to get the job done. To help in your endeavours, you can unlock and use a variety of masks à la Hotline Miami, each granting you a different set of abilities to allow you to tailor the experience to your gameplay style. All the while, you must work towards getting close to whoever’s pulling the strings.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.

As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
