Gore-Filled Retro Shooter Dusk Receives A Release Date

The golden-era inspired shooter Dusk has received an official release date for its v1.0 launch on Steam. On December 10, fans who enjoy turning demons into fine red mist in classic arcade-style shooters will be able to pick up a copy for a special price launch price on Steam for $16.66. Fans who already purchased the game's first two campaign episodes on Early Access will also be able to play the complete release three days early, and will receive a free 50+ page graphic novel.

Along with the announcement, to celebrate the Halloween season, developer New Blood Interactive also released a trailer today, which you can see below, showcasing the first-person descent into what appears to be a demonic portal, dual-wielding shotguns and using a crossbow to mow down monstrosities who burst like bags of pixelated red confetti. 

The announcement also mentions that preview builds are now available for the first half of episode three, a new survival arena and updates to the first two story chapters.

With a three-episode campaign, survival horde mode, and online multiplayer arena, the game has thus far earned “overwhelmingly positive” reviews on Steam with over 1,200 reviews as of today.

Inspired by the likes of Doom, Quake, Blood, and Half-Life, the FPS begins when players wake up attached to a meathook in a northeastern farmhouse and must use a variety of destructive tools including sickles and grenade launchers, to battle cultists and supernatural threats.

If the game sounds like its up your alley, you can purchase a copy today on Steam Early Access for $20. The announcement also tells players to stay tuned for more post-launch content in 2019 and it's upcoming release for the Nintendo Switch.

Running Down The History Of Wolfenstein

Today, first-person shooters are inescapable, with the biggest franchises letting players roam the battlefields of history and imagination to mow down foes, win wars, and emerge as the top contender on scoreboards. The genre hasn’t always been as ubiquitous as its current success suggests, however. While Doom is often remembered as the game that kickstarted the first-person shooter craze, Wolfenstein 3D paved the way for its sci-fi sibling to come screaming into existence. However, Wolfenstein is more than just a stepping stone. Over the years the pulpy WW2 has changed several developers’ hands, constantly transmuting and bouncing all over the place tone-wise, but has never lost its identity, even when both Medal of Honor and Call of Duty arrived, choosing to wallow about in arcadey violence instead of following the more realistic and procedural design of more modern WWII titles for two decades. With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus out in a few weeks’ time, we thought it pertinent ...
