Man, this is hard-CORE, and I'm into it. Elastic games has been watching their horror films, and you can tell in this trailer, which was released today. By the way,
DO NOT WATCH THIS TRAILER IF YOU ARE UNDER 18, YOUR PARENTS WILL BE PISSED, AND I DON'T WANT TO GET YELLED AT!
An asymmetric multiplayer action-survival game, Last Year: The Nightmare is a 6-player online stab em up, where five players work together, attempting to escape, while fighting off deadly killers controlled by the sixth. The survivors must complete various objectives in the environment to win, while the murderers only lose if they can't annihilate the enemy team.
You can most likely already guess the plot, but here it is anyways: On Halloween night in 1996, a group of teenagers awake to find themselves trapped in a dark, twisted reflection of their sleepy hometown of Forest Hills. As they make their way across the East Side High School campus, they realize they are being hunted by a supernatural force taking the forms of fearsome killers. Relentlessly pursued, the teens must band together to fight back, survive, and escape the terrifying anomaly they have come to know as The Nightmare. Sure, it ain't too original, but few slasher titles like this are (or films, for that matter)
Developed as a "service game" that will evolve over time, with regular content updates to keep the experience fresh, Last Year: The Nightmare will be available through the Discord store on PC, Tuesday, December 18, 2018. The developers are bringing a pretty distinguished voice cast into this bad-boy, and I hope they are all good screamers, because there is a lot of murder going on here. Check out the voice cast below:
Not too shabby, eh?
The game will will retail for $29.99 USD, and Elastic games says they are aiming for consoles in 2019.
