Full Release of ‘The Victor Initiative’ Eyes June Release [Teaser]
Coming off of the release of Chapter 5 last month, Spacepiano Games has announced a June release via a new trailer for the final two chapters of their survival horror title The Victor Initiative. As well, the developer has confirmed that in addition to the existing cast of Sam Lake, Samantha Béart, Ben Starr, Inel Tomlinson & Dave Jones, there will be new cameo appearances along with a returning cast member.
The Final Chapters update will be a free addition to the game, which will include Chapters 6 and 7, finishing the game’s story and coinciding with the full 1.0 release of The Victor Initiative. The update will also sport new mechanics, new story content, new and old cameo appearances and more.
As mentioned previously , leading up to the release of The Final Chapters, the devteam plans to push quality-of-life updates.
Currently in Early Access on Steam, The Victor Initiative sees you being tasked by a shady government agency to close a “rift” hidden deep within an abandoned research facility located in North Wales, UK. Known as The Initiative, the mysterious government facility rarely communicated with the outside world, but 60 years ago, communication stopped completely. Now, you’ve been tasked to dive back into the nightmare.
Inside The Initiative is a spiralling maze of horrors. Deranged ramblings adorn the walls, loose papers are strewn across the floor, and the terrifying threats that caused this ruin are still in there with you.
