Asymmetric horror game Damned 2 prepares major content update for October 19
Publisher Nuntius Games and Brazilian developer 9heads Game Studios are gearing up for a major content update for Damned 2 Early Access on October 19: The Fallen Update.
The sequel to the asymmetric horror game that paved the way for the genre will undergo a complete overhaul of its user interface, as well as introduce a new playable Monster and the long-awaited ability to play with or against CPU-controlled characters.
It’s worth noting that Damned 2 Early Access is available for $13.99 on Steam. Until October 8, you can grab the game with a 30% discount, for just $9.79.
A familiar face, now more terrifying than ever
The highlight of the new update is the addition of a new playable Monster: The Fallen. She’s a face well known to the community, coming straight from the first Damned. However, she’s been completely reimagined and promises to be a relentless force during matches.
We’ll be revealing all of The Fallen’s new tricks and showcasing her gameplay soon, so stay tuned!
A New Way to Play
It will now be possible to play Damned 2 solo, taking on the role of a Monster to hunt down Survivors controlled by artificial intelligence.
On the Survivors’ side, players will also have the option to create CPU-controlled companions, allowing them to experience matches even without assembling a full group of four players.
In addition, matches can now feature wooden boards blocking passages and rooms throughout the map, creating new challenges and opportunities to explore the environment. Players will need to use a crowbar to break through these barries.
Updated user interface and other improvements
The entire Damned 2 game interface has been redesigned to make the user experience more intuitive and enjoyable.
Menus and screens have been updated with cleaner visuals and easier navigation, including the main menu, characters selection, lobby, settings, and other parts of the game.
Players can also expect numerous bug fixes, gameplay improvements, and general quality-of-life adjustments across different areas of Damned 2 as part of its ongoing development during Early Access, based on community feedback.
