It’s hard to keep a good Slasher down. With the cyclical nature of these movies being part of their appeal, it’s rare for studios to greenlight a definitive end to their popular franchises. For every Final Chapter and Final Nightmare, there’s a Jason Lives and New Nightmare to undo the conclusions of the past. Now that David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills is bringing us one step closer to Halloween Ends, I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about what could be next for the Halloween franchise once this new...

If you’re in the mood for a horror adventure title, indie creator Alessandro Guzzo might have the thing for you. Particularly if you’re into Lovecraft. The spiritual successor to 2017’s The Land of Pain, Guzzo’s new game, The Alien Cube, heads to Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 14th. The title centres on Arthur, who is out to find the truth about the mysterious disappearance of his uncle Edgar, the protagonist of The Land of Pain. The world in which Arthur lives is intertwined with a terrible secret, which...

Alan Wake re-emerges from the darkness looking better than ever, and at the perfect time for reappraisal. It’s been 11 years since Remedy took us to Bright Falls and led us down the kind of deliciously demented path the developer has since become synonymous with. Now, with Control pushing Remedy to new heights (not to mention connecting with Wake’s world), a remaster of Alan Wake for a wider audience makes a lot of sense. But is Alan’s shadowy adventure worthy of a Stephen King-esque renaissance? King is the touchstone for...

For those who enjoyed Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance‘s dismemberment and full-on cybernetic swordplay, developer Soleil and publisher 110 Industries have a little something for you. Announced during the Tokyo Game Show is Wanted: Dead, an over-the-shoulder action game for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC that will have you ripping off cyborg heads while dishing out justice.

With Ghostbusters: Afterlife busting into theatres very soon (for reals, this time), it would seem that we’re also in for another Ghostbusters video game. At least, that’s according to singer/songwriter/record producer Raphael Saadiq, of all people.

No other information was given on the project, nor has there been an official announcement. Given Illfonic’s resume, with having worked on Friday The 13th: The...

While we won’t be seeing Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong until next year, that’s not stopping publisher Nacon and developer Big Bad Wolf Studio from releasing a new trailer for the game that reveals a new character from the game. In this case, we’re introduced to Emem, a former Jazz diva. One of the three playable characters in Swanwong alongside Leysha and Galeb, Emem is a century-old member of the Toreador clan who was transformed into a vampire by Hilda, the love of her life. Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong...
