You Won’t Believe What You’ll Become: The Quarry Is Now Available Worldwide

The must-play, must-see teen-horror entertainment experience of this summer from 2K and Supermassive Games is now available; The Quarry invites you to make unimaginable choices in a stunning narrative experience from the award-winning team behind Until Dawn

Sydney, Australia – June 10, 2022 –Today, 2K and Supermassive Games announced that The Quarry, an all-new teen-horror narrative game from Supermassive Games and the award-winning team behind Until Dawn, is now available worldwide on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam.

The Quarry follows a group of nine teenage counsellors stranded at Hackett’s Quarry on the last day of summer camp. Featuring an ensemble of Hollywood stars and horror legends, including David Arquette (“Scream” franchise), Ariel Winter (“Modern Family”), Justice Smith (“Jurassic World”), Brenda Song (“Dollface”), Lance Henriksen (“Aliens”), Lin Shaye (“Insidious” franchise), Ted Raimi (“Creepshow”) and more, players play as each of the nine camp counsellors in a thrilling cinematic tale, where every decision shapes their unique story from a tangled web of possibilities. Any character can be the star of the show – or die before daylight comes.

“It’s been almost seven years since we released our last teen-horror game, and we’ve challenged ourselves to advance interactive storytelling and take full advantage of technological leaps with The Quarry,” said Will Byles, Director at Supermassive Games. “The Quarry offers you the chance to see what choices you would make when encountered with the unthinkable and unimaginable. I can’t wait to see what stories you create!”

“The team at Supermassive Games have once again raised the bar for the interactive narrative genre,” said David Ismailer, President at 2K. “With an incredible cast and nail-biting story, it’s been fantastic to partner with them to bring fans what’s sure to be one of the most engrossing summer teen horror thrill rides of the summer.”

In addition to today’s launch of The Quarry, a free playable trial of the game is now available across all platforms. The trial features the Prologue of The Quarry, which sets the stage for the harrowing events that follow in the game and give players a taste of what’s in store for the full game.

The Quarry offers players a series of engaging features including:

  • Your Story, Their Fate. Will you dare to check what’s behind that trap door? Will you investigate the screams echoing from within the forest? Will you save your friends or desperately run for your life? Every choice, big or small, shapes your story and determines who lives to tell the tale;
  • A Stunning Cinematic Experience. Cutting-edge facial capture and filmic lighting techniques, combined with incredible performances from an iconic ensemble cast of Hollywood talent, bring the horrors of Hackett’s Quarry to life in a pulse-pounding, cinematic thrill ride;
  • Enjoy the Fright With Friends. Place your faith in up to seven friends in online play*, where invited players watch along and vote on key decisions, creating a story shaped by the whole group! Or, play together in a party horror couch co-op experience where each player picks a counsellor and controls their actions;
  • Customize Your Experience. Adjustable difficulty for all gameplay elements let players of any skill level enjoy the horror. And if you prefer to watch rather than play, Movie Mode lets you enjoy The Quarry as a binge-worthy cinematic thriller. Select how you want the story to unfold, kick back, and munch on some popcorn in between all the screams!

The Quarry is available in two offerings for players to choose from:

The Quarry: Standard Edition is available for $99.95 AUD / $109.95 NZD** in both physical and digital formats for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and digitally on Windows PC via Steam. It includes the full game. For PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, The Quarry is available for $109.95 AUD / $119.95 NZD**in both physical and digital formats and will be optimized for next-generation consoles.

The Quarry: Deluxe Edition is available for $129.95 AUD / $139.95 NZD** on digital format only for PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam. It includes the full game***, Gorefest Movie Mode option, instant access to the Death Rewind system, Horror History Visual Filter Pack, and ’80s-themed character outfits (automatically delivered in-game on or by July 8, 2022). Details include:

  • Gorefest option in Movie Mode. Press play, sit back, and indulge in the most gruesome, gory, splatter-filled version of The Quarry. For fans of grindhouse grotesqueries: an abundance of death, dismemberment, and buckets of blood await in this brutal option for Movie Mode;
  • Instant access to Death Rewind system. Get instant access to Death Rewind, a retry mechanic that normally unlocks after your first completion of The Quarry. Start the story with three opportunities to reverse a playable character’s death, giving you a chance to alter fate and save them in the process. But with only three retries per playthrough, you’ll have to decide when someone’s life is truly worth saving, and the undoing of one horrible end may lead to another. Choose wisely;
  • Horror History Visual Filter Pack. Tailor the aesthetic of The Quarry to your liking by choosing from three cinematic visual filters, each replicating a different era and style of iconic horror filmmaking! Choose from an 8mm-style film grain (Indie Horror), a retro VHS aesthetic (’80s Horror), or the classic black-and-white cinematic filter (Classic Horror);
  • ’80s Throwback character outfits. Send the camp counsellors’ looks back in time! This retro pack includes new ‘80s-inspired cosmetic character outfits for The Quarry’s playable characters. Note: The ‘80s Throwback Character Outfits will be automatically delivered in-game on or by July 8, 2022.

WARHAMMER 40,000: DARKTIDE GAMEPLAY TRAILER FROM FATSHARK

Rejects will Rise during Summer Game Fest

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, June 9, 2022. Today independent developer Fatshark premiered a two-minute gameplay trailer from their upcoming 4 Player co-op game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The brand-new gameplay video, highlighting a mission playthrough, premiered during today’s Summer Game Fest broadcast, watched by millions all over the globe.

In the gameplay video, Heretics sabotaged Tertium’s power system, and it is up to the four (anti)heroes to save the day. The job is simple, the risks are high, and the action is gloriously gory.

“It’s been an exciting, and maybe a little crazy week for Fatshark, with two brand new Warhammer 40,000: Darktide trailers released,” says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark. “While last week’s amazing Warhammer Skulls trailer focused more on story, gameplay is what it all comes down to, and today we gave you almost 120 seconds of Darktide.”  

Together with NVIDIA, Fatshark also announced that Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will launch with NVIDIA DLSS, Ray Tracing, and Reflex. 

Enabling ray tracing on a GeForce RTX GPU, desktop or laptop will greatly enhance the visual fidelity and immersion of Darktide. Using NVIDIA DLSS, players can maximize performance with the power of AI while fighting back hordes of bloodthirsty foes. And with NVIDIA Reflex, responsiveness in the game will be at its best with the lowest latency possible.

Players who don’t own a GeForce RTX PC or laptop can still play Warhammer 40,000: Darktide with GeForce performance at launch by streaming it from the cloud with NVIDIA GeForce NOW.

The recently announced pre-order of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has two versions available for purchase.

American Arcadia Gets Extended Reveal During Summer Game Fest

American Arcadia Gets Extended Reveal During Summer Game Fest

Call of the Sea creators Out of the Blue and Raw Fury show dark details of their deadly televised utopia

STOCKHOLM June 9, 2022 Out of the Blue, developers of the critically acclaimed Call of the Sea, and Raw Fury have revealed the first extended trailer of American Arcadia during today’s Summer Game Fest. This world premiere offers the first detailed look at the upcoming 2.5D platformer and first-person puzzler, where players explore the unique stories of two characters – each with their own distinct gameplay – whose lives and fates are intertwined.

Welcome to Arcadia, a ‘70s-style, retro-futuristic metropolis promising a life of luxury and comfort for everyone. Only, citizens don’t realize they’re playing roles in American Arcadia, the world’s most popular reality show that’s been broadcasting live, 24/7, for decades, and their supposed utopia is not all it seems. Under the eyes of countless viewers, popular citizens lead a carefree life, but those who fall out of the audience’s favor risk a more dangerous outcome…

“Trevor is just an average person living a mundane life, enjoying his daily routine and the small little things that make him happy,” says Tatiana Delgado, co-founder and Creative Director at Out of the Blue. “In the real world that wouldn’t be a problem, but in Arcadia, not being popular enough means trouble. But he’s found help from a mysterious voice promising to guide him through American Arcadia‘s backstage to his freedom. Is this offer real, or merely a gimmick to raise audience ratings?”

American Arcadia Features:

  • Escape a ‘70s Televised Utopia: Discover a gripping story presented uniquely as a documentary, with character interviews and interrogations as you progress.
  • Two Experiences in One Game: Control two characters with completely distinct play styles: one a 2.5D side-scroller with challenging platforming action, breathtaking chases, stealth and puzzles, the other a full 3D first-person game with hacking, exploration, stealth elements and puzzles.
  • Rich Characters & Performances: Exceptional voice talent, including Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man, Prince of Persia, Call of the Sea), Krizia Bajos (Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Life is Strange, Call of the Sea), breathe life into a world of compelling characters.

American Arcadia is part of this year’s TRIBECA Games Festival, running until June 19. Those interested in playing the exclusive demo can book a screening at TRIBECA’s website. More information on the title will also be revealed during this year’s Future Games Show on June 11.

American Arcadia is coming soon to PC and consoles and is available to wishlist now on Steam. For more information about the game, visit www.americanarcadiagame.com.

Sci-fi Horror Game ROUTINE Re-Revealed at Summer Game Fest

A new trailer shows updated gameplay from Lunar Software’s ROUTINE, featuring original audio by Mick Gordon

STOCKHOLM June 9, 2022 – Sci-fi horror game ROUTINE has unveiled a brand-new trailer during Summer Game Fest. Utilizing in-game footage, this trailer shows that the project has been revived and how much it has matured since its last showing. Developers Lunar Software have set out to create an immersive world that begs to be explored from the edge of your seat, with renowned composer Mick Gordon (Doom, Prey, Wolfenstein: The New Order) providing the atmospheric score and sound effects. In addition, Lunar Software has teamed up with indie publisher Raw Fury to support the project. ROUTINE will be coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Game Pass.

First announced in 2013, ROUTINE stood out with its haunting premise in an isolated setting. Since then, the small team at Lunar Software has rebuilt the game from the ground up to align with the experience they originally set out to deliver. The team has released a statement along with the new trailer explaining their work on the project so far.

Raw Fury CEO Jonas Antonson said of ROUTINE: “Like many others, I have been waiting for this game for a long time. Originally, I thought I’d just get to experience it as a gamer and a fan. But then the developers decided to team up with us! I’m beyond excited to go on this amazing journey with them.”

About the Game

ROUTINE is a first-person sci-fi horror game. Set inside an abandoned moon base designed around an ’80s vision of the future, players will explore the decrepit station looking for answers about the events that unfolded there. Armed only with a Cosmonaut Assistance Tool (C.A.T.) to interact with the various computer systems, players must navigate whatever unknown dangers still remain.

In ROUTINE, players will need to outwit and outmaneuver a mysterious threat that lurks inside the decaying lunar complex. Explore the different sections of the station, from abandoned malls to deteriorating living quarters, to piece together the fate of those that once lived there. A minimal UI helps create a more immersive and tense experience as players attempt to run, hide, or defend themselves from any threats that may appear.

No official launch date has been set, but players who want to follow the game’s progress can wishlist it now on Steam.

Focus Entertainment and Tindalos Interactive Reveal Gripping Cinematic Trailer for New Squad-based Action Game Aliens: Dark Descent

PARIS June 9, 2022 — Today, Focus Entertainment and Tindalos Interactive, in collaboration with 20th Century Studios, revealed Aliens: Dark Descent, an enthralling, single-player, squad-based action game set within the iconic Alien franchise for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC. Drop into an original Alien story where players will lead a squad of marines in real-time combat against the deadliest creature mankind has ever faced. Get a first look at the Aliens: Dark Descent experience awaiting you on the moon Lethe with this unnerving world premiere reveal trailer, as we follow a squad of Colonial Marines during a recon mission.

“We are honored to partner with 20th Century Studios and Disney to work on a new project from this emblematic franchise, and to team up with our excellent partners at Tindalos Interactive. Their expertise, talent and passion for the license will make Aliens: Dark Descent an iconic new chapter in the Alien series,” said John Bert, Managing Director at Focus Entertainment.

“The entire team at Tindalos is dedicated to delivering a gaming experience faithful to the spirit of the Alien franchise and adding its own, never-seen-before elements to this iconic universe. The gameplay we have developed is unique, inspired from our favorite tactical and CRPG games and packaged in nerve-wracking, real-time action. Translating from film to our game the sheer terror caused by the deadliest species known to man was quite a challenge, but I’m confident most of you will end up in strung-out shape – as Hicks himself would say,” said Romain Clavier, CEO & Creative Director at Tindalos Interactive.

“We’re excited to continue expanding upon the beloved Alien franchise with a deeper single-player story experience thanks to the bright minds from our friends at Focus and Tindalos,” said Luigi Priore, Vice President at Disney, Pixar & 20th Games. “Fans of the franchise should be excited to jump into a new genre experience and a new tactically thrilling gameplay offering unlike any of our previous Alien game titles.”

Uncover Lethe’s sinister secret, battle against an onslaught of iconic Xenomorph creatures and put an end to this new menace.

Real-time, squad-based tactical combat

Recruit, gear up and customize your squad of Marines with an extensive arsenal of weapons, armor, and special abilities while exploring, as enemies will adapt their tactics to your actions to hunt you down. When ready, embark on high-stakes missions in treacherous territory, all the while gathering resources to fix up the stranded Otago spacecraft and researching tech upgrades for your crew.

Players will command a squad as one unit thanks to intuitive controls, allowing their Marines to automatically prioritize and execute complex actions in real time, based on their respective skill sets and the environment around them. Navigate levels strategically, making sure to leverage the persistent and reactive environments to your advantage by sealing off checkpoints, unlocking shortcuts, or creating safe zones.

Be cautious and monitor each Marine’s vitals – for any who falls in combat, death is permanent. Anticipate, think fast, and act faster to outwit the lethal creatures from the deeper hive. Will you make it out alive?

Aliens: Dark Descent, the riveting, single-player, squad-based action experience set in the Alien universe, will release on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC. For more information, visit the Focus Entertainment website.
