With the Resident Evil 4 remake’s release on the horizon, developer Invader Studios and publisher Leonardo Interactive have announced that Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle has an updated release date. The prequel to Daymare: 1998 will arrive on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and GOG this May. Invader Studios also released a bunch of screenshots for the game on their Twitter and the official site.

Set before the events of Daymare: 1998, the game follows special agent Dalila Reyes, a former government spy now in service of H.A.D.E.S. (Hexacore Advanced Division for Extraction and Search). Reyes has set out to explore an advanced experimental research center in the US to uncover the some strange goings on.

Touted as the “perfect mix of fierce and deadly enemies, hardcore action game mechanics, environmental puzzles, a chilling soundtrack, plenty of exploration and massive doses of concentrated horror”, Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle will see players reconstruct the past of Daymare: 1998‘s characters in the new top secret “Sandcastle” mission. In addition, the game will see the return of the D.I.D. interface, which has been completely revamped. As a result, you’ll be able to manage your inventory, ammo and health items directly from the new game interface.

You’ll also be able to make use of a new toy known as the Frost Grip, which as you might expect, grants you the ability to freeze your foes. You’ll need it, as this time around, certain enemies won’t quite stay dead. After you’ve killed it, you’ll quickly find out that it can come back in a completely new and deadlier form.
