Plus: QTE warnings! Walk faster! Die more!
It’s usually nice to see older games get updates, particularly when we’re not expecting it. Think of it as a good jump scare. Supermassive Games have given their first twoThe Dark PicturesAnthology some extra care and attention today, dropping in new difficulty settings and accessibility options, tweaked UI, and even faster walking for characters. There’s also an extended chapter forMan Of Medan. I didn’t think update trailers were a thing but there’s one for this, which you can watch below.
Man Of Medan’s extra chapter is called Flooded. Sounds sufficiently watery for that Dark Pictures instalment. Supermassive say the chapter “introduces new gameplay and new deaths to the climactic ending of the game”. Both Man Of Medan and its follow up Little Hope have also been given new difficulty settings and QTE warnings, an improved UI, refreshed event triggers, and extra accessibility options including the option to change subtitle sizes. Crucially, you can now walk faster in both games.
Hang on, though, because atweetfrom the Dark Pictures account said there was an issue with the update, and that both games had been rolled back to their previous versions. A hotfix from Supermassive addressing the issue is inbound.
The next game in The Dark Pictures Anthology isThe Devil In Me. That takes place in a spooky murder mansion, but it isn’t supernatural like the other entries in the series so far. Alice Beeinterviewed The Devil In Me’s game directorTom Heaton last month, who told her that it’s the most gruesome Dark Pictures game yet.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me is just overshooting Halloween to release on November 18th. You can grab it then onSteamfor £35/$40/€40.
