If you’ve been keen to get in on New Blood Interactive’s upcoming Victorian Survival Horror shooter Gloomwood (Neil and Jay had their own sneak peek at it), you’ll have to wait a bit longer. However, that’s good new for fans of Ultrakill.
New Blood Interactive took to Twitter last night to announce that Dillon Rogers and David Szymanski’s Gloomwood will be bumped back a few weeks from its original Early Access launch on Steam. Even Malcolm McDowell had to step in. The shooter will now arrive on Steam on September 6th. As a way to make up for the delay, Arsi “Hakita” Patala’s bloody arena shooter Overkill will have its Act II update arrive on Steam on August 16th.
Gloomwood is inspired by classic stealth-action game Thief that sees you trapped in a Victorian city consumed by an ancient curse. You have to rely on stealth, your wits and your array of weapons to survive. Armed with your canesword, six-shot revolver and more, you’ll be sticking to the shadows as you navigate the city. Gloomwood makes use of a stealth and sound system that tracks your light visibility and propagates noise accurately through the world, so tread lightly and use sound to distract your foes.
Contrasting the stealth of Gloomwood is Ultrakill, a fast-paced ultraviolent old school FPS that sees mankind having gone extinct, and the only beings left on earth are machines fueled by blood. But now that blood is starting to run out on the surface, machines are racing to the depths of Hell in search of more. Kill fast and with “SSStyle” to rack up combos and gain points that can be used on weapon variations between missions, while soaking in blood regains your health.
