Double 11, the longtime manager of Paradox Interactive’s Jail Architect design before the two companies parted ways before this time, has announced its next project: multiplayer shooter Blindfire, launching in early access for Xbox Line /S and PC. lately.

Blindfire is a team-based arena shooter for up to eight players that, for its simple narrative, sees players immerse themselves in a bloody pirate game run by the ultra-rich to amass riches and glory. Fortunately, his move is much more ingenious, with Blindfire aiming to throw everything aside in the midst of complete darkness.

Double 11, which features Blindfire on Xbox Twine, says the all-black twist emphasizes “slower, more tactical gameplay,” with kills “less related to pure shooting skill and more to clever use of environmental cues.” To help navigate the darkness and find combatants, players can use their room-scanning Echo mechanic, briefly revealing a description of their surroundings. On the other hand, there’s more to imagine when simply firing a gun (causing a loud gunshot and flash) immediately finds the attacker’s spot.

And there is also more to consider; As a round unfolds, glowing elements are slowly introduced into the games, spreading from the outer walls of the sector to its center, driving out players camping in secluded corners and forcing everyone to stay in closer confines.

A central element of Blindfire is the Bodycount method, which has Separate for All and Team variants, and requires the player to hit as many things as possible over five rounds. Skillful plays, such as headshots, multiple kills, first blood, or surviving without taking damage, award bonus points, but warring parties must be careful, as one day they simply make it to the round. On the plus side, eliminated players have access to night vision cameras, revealing the sector in all its colorful black-lit glory. And at this level, they are able to control their traps to provoke an attack or seek revenge.

Double 11 plans to add weapons not used in Blindfire’s early start to the build, but the initial build only includes two: the Mantis, a “powerful and accurate pistol,” and the rapid-fire Abolition shotgun. The studio says its purpose of flow is to focus on the distinctive tactical parts of Blindfire, where victory comes from technique and execution rather than tools.

And if the take on cloud-killing shenanigans intrigues you, Blindfire launches on Xbox Line X/S and PC in early access today via the Microsoft Bundle. It’s also quite expensive, costing just £7.99, but if you don’t try it before purchasing, a separate trial may be available.

Double 11 was until now developing Jail Architect 2 for Paradox Interactive, having taken the reigns of predominant control design in 2019. Elsewhere, the increasingly erratic Paradox parted ways with Double 11 again in May, pronouncing it “No.” “We were able to find a commercial deal that worked for both parties.” Since then, Jail Architect 2 revealed repeated delays, with no licensing era in sight these days. Blindfire may be Double 11’s first real IP.

The Xbox Spouse October Preview is over! Here we got a look at the titles back then for the remainder of 2024 (let’s not think about how 2024 is about to end…), plus a sneaky look at one of the more titles we’re looking forward to in 2025 and updates for titles that have already been saved. One of the most shown titles was the then Alan Wake 2: Pond Space DLC, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Treatment’s first multiplayer game, FBC: Firebreak.

Let’s take a detailed look at everything presented in this Xbox Partner preview:

Alan Wake 2: The Pond Space DLC

Luckily, Spouse Preview started with the most notable game: The Pond Space DLC for Alan Wake 2. (Honestly, why keep staring at the screen?) It’s time to walk through any other fun FBC terrain back and forth where I am. . I’m sure everything will be tremendous. At this time it seems that people are developing their creativity with painting.

Alan Wake 2: The Pond Space DLC will be available on Tuesday, October 22.

Cronus: The Unused Dawn

It’s about time for some chess, guns, and spooky monsters in Cronos: The Unutilized Crack of Dawn, the follow-up project from Peaceful Hill 2 Remake developer Bloober Staff. You’ll stay up to explore a destroyed city adorned with meat in 2025 when Order X/S arrives on PC and Xbox.

blind fire

Then upstairs there was some first-person shooter action in what I’m sure was a 90s club with all the neon going on. This trailer was Blindfire and it is lately entering early access on Xbox One X/S and PC.

(Sorry everyone, I couldn’t find this trailer at the time of writing.)

Like a Dragon: Yakuza Pirate in Hawaii

Like a dragon is back with a pirate move. Take to the seas in your customizable ship to battle other pirates while building a team, playing games, and probably spending the remaining hour at the online casino to become the most powerful pirate riding the waves.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will launch on Xbox and PC on Friday, February 21, a month ahead of schedule. (Looks good, that’s to stay away from Monster Hunter Wilds…)

Mouse: PI for rent

It was too late for some black and white cartoon action in the Mouse: PI For Rent trailer. Here you will shoot the role of a detective with a series of other weapons in a first-person cartoon-inspired game.

Mouse: PI For Rent will be saved in 2025 on Xbox Order X/S and PC.

Subnautica 2

We’ve sailed around the sea, so now it’s time to walk beneath the waves. A path beneath them. Possibly a minute too far. Subnautica 2 guarantees at least one Kraken when it enters early access on Xbox Order X/S and PC in 2025.

Animal intelligently

Animal Smartly promises shadows and animals as it launches on Xbox One X/S recently. Do you need to be told more about Animal Smartly? Next, take a look at Eurogamer’s Animal Smartly review. (Spoiler: they gave it 5 stars).

Eden 0

According to Edens 0 by Hiro Mashima, who also wrote Fairy Story and Rave Master, you can film the roles of the characters from the manga in this new game. (Sorry, I haven’t read this manga, so we don’t have much to mention now. Are there any long adventures?)

Edens 0 will be saved on Xbox One X/S and PC in 2025.

Eternal strands

We go from science fiction to lies with the Everlasting Strands trailer. Here you can use a field of necromancy powers, along with a quantity of ifre, to do business with any enemy that crosses your path. It’s a really heavy chicken though.

Everlasting Strands will be released on Xbox One X/S and PC in early 2025.

Mist Hunter

The Mistfall vibe continued, but took on a somber and dark atmosphere with the Mistfall Hunter trailer. In this game you will be able to fight against deadly enemies using swords, bows, necromancy and probably more. It has a crossover between Vikings and Elden Ring that sounds familiar to me (a lot).

Mistfall Hunter will be released in 2025 on Xbox One X/S and PC.

International Wheel

Then it was time to talk to a cell-screen world about where you’ll enjoy riding a bike with a floating skull. (And from your motorcycle, look like a hot canine when you really need to.)

Wheel International will be saved on Xbox Order X/S and PC in 2025.

phasmophobia

We’re back to the horror vibes with the Phasmophobia trailer, which is better since we’re getting closer to All Hollows Eve with every passing second. Phasmophobia will also be saved on Xbox Order X/S just one hour from now on Tuesday, October 29.

The legend of Babu

Next we went to a paranormal island with a look at The Legend of Baboo, where a cute child can experience a heavy, fluffy dog. You’ll be able to continue this perfect boy when The Legend of Baboo ships in 2025 for Xbox One X/S and PC.

Wuchang: fallen feathers

K the good vibes faded once again with a trailer with too immense a selection to put our bodies on. (Any person should be happy with themselves). Featuring a mix of hack-and-slash and magical combat (let’s say I have a team with system weapon functions…), Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is coming to PC and Xbox Order X/ S in 2025.

FBC: firewall

Sure! We return to FBC with a first look at FBC: Firebreak. This game will work in a 3-player co-op experience in the Keep Watch/Alan Wake universe (healing verse?) as you fight Hiss as a team in The Oldest Space. They gave him an earth gnome.

FBC: Firebreak will be saved in 2025 on Xbox One X/S and PC.

I hope you liked the October Xbox Video Game Showcase! In my opinion, I am satisfied that I made it through this round without experiencing any technological problems like those of this month’s time…

Xbox offered an unused look at Chinese fictional souls like Wuchang: Fallen Feathers in the recent Xbox Spouse Preview.

Printed through 505 Games (and developed by Chinese studio Leenzee), Wuchang is a noir fiction game set in the late Ming Dynasty, with a boss design that FromSoftware could be proud of.

In this unused trailer, we next see our female protagonist fighting a large oyster abomination, a woman whose fox fur shawl reaches generation, a bird-like woman with a dance move, and (of course) a huge centipede.

Before all that, we see the protagonist slicing, dicing and parrying many old enemies, who die in a fountain of blood. It looks like the spell will work up close as well, with enough colorful results illuminating the haunting shape, which appears to swap between true and demonic nation-states.

“Unravel the secrets of your forgotten past in the land of Shu before you are consumed by the Feathering disease,” the YouTube video’s description reads.

Of course, how all this can increasingly actually play will remain visible until we can get down to business and get a proper idea of ​​the fight.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers should also not be confused with Dim Fantasy: Wukong, Phantom Blade 0, Where Winds Meet or any other Wuxia-influenced action game set in Chinese. Can this do much to bring about?

The (self-proclaimed) soullike will be released in 2025 on Xbox Series X/S and PC, and will be available on Game Pass.

Alan Wake and Control developer Treatment have made no secret of FBC: Firebreak, a three-player cooperative multiplayer spin-off set in the same universe.

A trailer shown tonight during the Xbox Partner Preview showcase gave us our first look at the game. You play as first responders within the regular Federal Regulatory Office, reviewing different disciplines in Regulation within The Oldest Area.

FBC: Firebreak could be Treatment’s first foray into multiplayer and will receive familiar updates after launch. However, it’s not intended to be a ‘game as provider,’ Treatment’s director of verbal exchange, Thomas Puha, told Xbox Twine.

“We have always made single-player games at Remedy and rest assured, we have more single-player games in development and they will be amazing,” Puha said. “But for a long time we’ve wanted to make a PvE multiplayer game. There are many of us here who love multiplayer as well as single-player. We don’t want to make the same type of games all the time; it’s nice to take on new challenges.”

Looking forward to the events of Regulate, FBC: Firebreak will feature more of the Federal Bureau of Regulation and its many agents working there, and more of its oddities, like killer sticky notes and weathered ‘power devices’ as weapons like a field gnome .

FBC: Firebreak will launch for PC and consoles in 2025, and will come to Xbox Sport Go live.

Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about the mission. Previously known under the codename Mission Condor, Treatment previously said the game would be presented as a premium product, not a free-to-play game. In April of this date, Treatment said that the game had reached peak production levels, and that work hours on a full Regular sequel were still coming out of the woodwork.

Some two years after it was shown to be in the works, developer Unknown Worlds has given a first look at the long-awaited Subnautica 2 – the debut trailer for the underwater survival sequel has already arrived along with the deal it will go into. Get early entry to the nearest performance.

Subnautica 2, in fact the third game in the acclaimed series, following the untouched 2018 entry and its 2021 standalone expansion Subnautica: Under 0, was initially teased in April 2022. It came closest to suffering some controversy when Author Krafton mistakenly announced that it would be a live service multiplayer game.

Fans weren’t happy with this apparent escape from previous entries, and Unknown Worlds (which Krafton got in 2021) briefly moved on to illuminate any doubt, confirming that it’s beyond Subnautica 2. was once Until multiplayer supported co-op for up to four players, there would be “no season passes, battle passes, or subscription” and co-op was not required.

Truth be told, the co-op lifestyle looks great in everything we’ve learned about Subnautica 2 so far (except the appearance of some tantalizing screenshots that sneaked into the main game), so it’s definitely no longer So. It’s quite a surprise to see the quality on display in the game’s first real trailer: a cinematic in which a diver meets a crewmate in the depths of an alien ocean, before a giant creature makes its name known. presence.

As for when we’ll finally get our hands on Subnautica 2, Krafton has so far said he expects the closest installment to the sea survival series to arrive in the first half of 2025, but today’s reveal wasn’t as specific, simply announcing that early admission will be released one day to the nearest presen. The platforms weren’t announced (beyond the fact that they weren’t hidden during today’s Xbox Partner preview showcase), so expect less attackable details before long.
