Against all odds, Gamescom 2023 has a nice surprise in store. This game, which is very popular with players, is making a big announcement that we didn’t see coming.
The Gamescom 2023 announcements were very shy, even if we did have a few surprises with Little Nightmares 3, but also the Zed massacre simulator par excellence: Killing Floor 3. Not to mention of course some great trailers broadcast during the conference of opening of the living room. Another event, integrated into the GC 2023, also stood out since it was the scene of a very nice PS5, Xbox Series and PC announcement.
A popular game will make people happy
It definitely won’t be Gamescom 2023’s best vintage, but it’s still just a canceled or disappointing E3. After the Opening Night Live, our American colleagues from Gamesradar organized their traditional Future Games Show 2023 conference. An event with a lot of more confidential games such as AA or independent productions.
RoboCop Rogue City was present, but above all, the Dual Effect studio announced Tormented Souls 2 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Yes, there will be a sequel to the first game. If you don’t know, it’s an “old school” survival horror. A title that claims its kinship with the old Resident Evil in particular. A software where backups are not automatic, and where you have to think a little to solve puzzles. The exact opposite of Resident Evil Village. It was free, but hey, that’s not wrong at the same time.
Upon its release, Tormented Souls was rather well received by the press, except on PS5 where it was a little more lukewarm with a Metacritic rating in the yellow, but it is mainly among players that it acquired its reputation. . Very well executed old school fun for survival horror fans.
Tormented Souls announced for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC
Tormented Souls 2 arrives in 2024, without a specific date, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. A new generation exclusive unlike the previous installment. Caroline Walker, the heroine of the first game, returns and will have to face (again) creatures “terrifying” defending themselves with “weapons of fortune”. The return of the nail gun?
On the scenario side, here is what the Tormented Souls 2 Steam sheet tells us. “After the events that took place at Wildberger Hospital, Caroline has only one desire: to live a normal life with her little sister Anna. However, fate has something else in store for him. Anna is afflicted with a strange disease. She starts coughing up blood, her eyes turn black and she loses consciousness. Conventional remedies are of no help to him. With no other recourse to save her sister, Caroline is forced to turn to the supernatural… Welcome to Puerto Miller, a South American city with a chilling past. Founded long ago by the mysterious Ismuit tribe, a small religious group rejecting the outside world, this place hides untold horrors beneath its ancient guise..
Below is the PS5 announcement trailer:
We don’t know yet if the DualSense controller will be used, but see you next year on PS5, Xbox Series X | S and PC to find out.
