‘Dead by Daylight: Stranger Things Chapter 2’ Now Available [Trailer]
The gate has officially been reopened. Stranger Things is back in Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight with the launch of Chapter 2, adding Vecna, Dustin and Eleven into the mix of Killers and Survivors alike Accompanying the release is a brand-new trailer.
Vecna, The First brings his dark powers to the game, allowing him to bend the world around him, manifesting and weaponizing the physical presence of the Upside Down within The Fog. Sinister vines lash out at the unsuspecting as Vecna disappears beneath the ground, reemerging to curse any within his path. The haunting chime of grandfather clocks scattered across the Map may be the Survivors’ only salvation…
Meanwhile, on the Survivors’ side, the iconic Jane “Eleven” Hopper and Dustin Henderson join the fight alongside the first chapter’s Steve and Nancy. Each character brings a different set of skills, resources, and approaches to The Fog. The four Survivors can also count on some much-needed backup thanks to Legendary Outfits of Jonathan Byers from the original Stranger Things Chapter, and newcomers Eddie Munson (Legendary for Dustin) and Robin Buckley (Legendary for Nancy).
Dead by Daylight: Stranger Things Chapter 2 is now available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch.

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