Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness Tells its Disturbing Tale on PC, Consoles Today

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – October 17, 2023 – Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness, the 2D pixel-art horror adventure from developer Indiesruption (Nine Witches) and publisher Blowfish Studios, tests the sanity of unsuspecting carnies just in time for Halloween. Vlad Circus launches today on PlayStation 4|5 with backwards compatibility, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S with backwards compatibility, Nintendo Switch, as well as Windows PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG.

On a day of sudden tragedy, Vlad Circus’ joyous reputation was replaced with sorrow and mourning. Hundreds were killed in the blazing fire, performers and attendees alike, forcing the once tight-knit troupe to disband. After eight years of no contact, a mysterious letter from the circus’ former ring leader brings the group together again. 

Peer into the fractured mind of former circus clown Oliver Mills, aka “Lazy Ollie.” Maintain Ollie’s stress levels while exploring the dark halls of the Victorian-inspired Petrescu Manor. Rekindle old bonds from happier days, even as unspeakable horrors lurk in the shadows.

Hazy memories and grotesque hallucinations plague Ollie’s senses, worsening the deeper he dares to venture. Encounter and survive the horrifying abominations stalking the halls of the mansion while conquering mysterious puzzles. Reclaim lost memories from that traumatic day, piecing together the terrifying truth before Ollie’s sanity runs out completely. 

“We love to create disruptive experiences, and Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness is certainly no exception,” said Diego Cánepa, Lead Designer, Indiesruption. “Players will need to discern what lies in reality and what lurks in Ollie’s twisted delusion. But are you really safe either way?”

Vlad Circus: Descend into Madness is available now on all major platforms, with support for Windows, as well as language support for English, Spanish (Latin America), Spanish (Spain), French, German, and Russian.

Spider Shoot-Em-Up ‘Kill It With Fire VR’ Brings Mayhem to PSVR 2 on Nov. 7

PSVR 2 introduces eye-tracking feature to pick up objects with a quick glance

AUSTIN, TEXAS — 18 Oct. 2023 — Kill It With Fire VR, the first-person spider-hunter from developer Casey Donnellan Games and publisher tinyBuild, goes on a spider killing spree on Sony’s PSVR 2 on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023.

Mankind’s worst enemy (the house spider, of course) has invaded and infested a once-peaceful, now extremely chaotic neighborhood. Rise to the occasion as a licensed Kill It With Fire exterminator to restore peace. Explore each infested room, including the attic, kitchen, and even the garden, and build an arsenal of weapons with anything in sight – picture frames, your beloved TV, a flame torch… If it can be thrown at the pesky monsters, it works!

Standing out from the Meta Quest 2 and SteamVR versions, PSVR 2 introduces eye tracking: instead of using your hands to point at objects to pick them up, players can now simply gaze at them, then press and hold the grip button to quickly pick up anything as a weapon.

Explore every nook and cranny, using state-of-the-art tracking tech to locate spiders in pizza boxes, underneath milk cartons, or even sock drawers. Uncover hidden upgrades and grab a frying pan to whack away those troubling creatures. 

Increase the carnage with access to various spider-repellent weaponry. Turn on the weed wacker and slice through the hordes of arachnids. Lock, load, and spray down the creepy crawlers with shotguns or simply, yet most effectively, blaze them away with the trusty flamethrower. 

Leave no arachnid alive anywhere from office spaces to barns and all your local retail favorites. Take on optional missions or put the exterminator skills to the test in the Arachno-Gauntlet. Accomplish this all, be rewarded with a top-of-the-line secret ending, and become the Kill it With Fire Exterminator the world needs. 

Kill It With Fire VR is coming to Sony’s PSVR 2 on Tuesday, Nov. 7, for USD $14.99 / €.14.99. It will offer English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Dutch, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language support.

Harebrained Schemes and Paradox Interactive to Part Ways as the Seattle-based Developer Seeks New Opportunities

STOCKHOLM and SEATTLE — Oct. 17, 2023 — Paradox Interactive (Paradox) and Harebrained Schemes (HBS) – developers of the Shadowrun trilogy, BATTLETECH and The Lamplighters League – have decided to part ways on 1 January 2024. The separation is the result of a mutual agreement, stemming from each party’s strategic and creative priorities. Paradox will retain ownership of The Lamplighters League and other games developed by the studio. HBS will seek new publishing, partnership, and investment opportunities. 

“Paradox has refocused its strategy towards its core niches within strategy and management games with endless qualities,” said Charlotta Nilsson, COO of Paradox. “We and HBS’ leadership have been discussing what would happen after the release of The Lamplighters League, but a new project or sequel in the same genre was not in line with our portfolio plans. Hence, we believe that a separation would be the best way forward. We’re very happy that this talented, gifted studio has the chance to continue and can’t wait to see what they will make next.”

“Harebrained Schemes will support The Lamplighters League through the end of the year while we seek funding and partnerships for an independent future in 2024,” said Brian Poel, Studio Operations Manager of HBS. “Our studio mission remains the same: to make games that challenge your mind and touch your heart.”

The Battle Arrives at the Bad Doctor’s Door in Killing Floor 2: Last Hans Standing; Free Annual Halloween Update and Event Begins Oct. 17

The Battle Arrives at the Bad Doctor’s Door in Killing Floor 2: Last Hans Standing; Free Annual Halloween Update and Event Begins Oct. 17.

Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive today released the latest free content update for their brutal first-person co-op shooter, Killing Floor 2,just in time for the Halloween holiday. Titled Last Hans Standing, the update is available now to download for free on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), adding in a new official map to paint with Zed viscera, event with bonus rewards, weapons, and ongoing weapon and perk balancing based on community feedback.

The mercenaries have received their most dangerous mission to-date, assaulting Dr. Hans Volter’s WWII-era stronghold hidden deep within the Bavarian Alps. Castle Volter, as it’s called by the locals, is a feast for the eyes with high vaulted ceilings, flying buttresses, gilded hallways, and of course, scientific equipment untethered from moral and ethical considerations. This equipment is the secret source of the bad doctor’s death-defying existence, housing the original Dr. Volter in stasis to use his organic matter to create endless clones. Consign him to the dustbin of history and be quick about it; Castle Volter is teeming with Zeds and the situation needs to be dealt with before it gets out of Hans.

Killing Floor 2: Last Hans StandingUpdate Highlights:

New Official Map: Castle Volter:

  • Having been driven from his ancestral Manor, the mercenaries have tracked down the seemingly immortal Dr. Hans Volter to his castle deep in the Bavarian Alps, home of the progenitor to Horzine’s cloning technology.
  • Supports Survival, Endless, and Weekly modes

Last Hans Standing Event:

  • Five in-game objectives related to Castle Volter have been added, each rewarding 150,000 Vault Dosh upon completion. Completing all five objectives during the event will reward mercenaries with a special Volter-themed weapon skin for the MKB Assault Rifle.
  • This event ends on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 10:00am PDT/1:00pm EDT.

Weekly Game Mode:

  • Bounty Hunt: In this mode, a fixed number of “Bounty Zeds” will spawn at the beginning of each wave. These special Zeds are tougher than their normal comrades, and will work to avoid engaging with mercenaries. Quickly hunt down and eliminate these “Bounty Zeds”, because the longer they roam the map the more dangerous they become. Completing a successful Bounty Hunt while the weekly mode is active will earn players a special Bounty Hunt weapon skin for the Desert Eagle handgun.

Weapons:

  • Paid DLC: MG3 Shredder Machine Gun with 5 Weapon Skins; this weapon is also available freely for players who own the Ultimate Edition or Armory Season Pass 2
  • Free DLC: HRG 93R Pistol

Cosmetics: Three Weapon Skin Bundles, One Outfit Bundle; included for for free for players with the current Cosmetic Season Pass:

To celebrate the release of the new Killing Floor 2: Last Hans Standing update, Tripwire Interactive will be participating in several Halloween themed sales and special promotions on all the various platform stores. Be sure to follow Tripwire Interactive’s social channels for information on these special sales discounts coming soon!

In Killing Floor 2, players descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech’s failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum, essentially paralyzing the European Union— Just one month after the events in the original KILLING FLOOR, the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray; communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces have been systematically eradicated. The people of Europe know survival and self-preservation too well and lucky survivors have gone into hiding.

Not all have given up hope though… A group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate them.

Killing Floor 2 has an MSRP of $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 and is developed and published by Tripwire Interactive and is published at retail by Deep Silver and Iceberg Interactive for the Xbox One, Xbox One X, PlayStation®4 Pro, PlayStation®4, and PC.
