Supermassive's 'Man of Medan' is officially multiplayer
Many folks who enjoyed Supermassive's interactive horror hit Until Dawn did so by passing the controller between friends whenever the story shifted to another character. For its upcoming Dark Pictures Anthology, Supermassive has announced couch co-op and online multiplayer modes starting with Man of Medan, the first game in the series.
Supermassive's 'Man of Medan' hits PS4, Xbox One and PC August 30th
Man of Medan, the first installment in Supermassive's Dark Pictures Anthology interactive horror series, will hit PS4, Xbox One and PC August 30th. It centers on a young group on a diving vacation that doesn't quite go as planned -- the quartet are kidnapped and trapped on a ghost ship. Much like Supermassive's previous game, Until Dawn, characters will live or die depending on the choices you make throughout.
‘Man of Medan’ could usher in a golden age of horror games
2015's PS4 exclusive Until Dawn is one of the most memorable titles of this generation. It took the bare bones choose-your-own-adventure storytelling of games like The Walking Dead and massively expanded the interactivity, immersion and production values to create a fantastically tropey horror game. Like all horror, it was best experienced in a group, and I've played it several times with various people, taking it in turns to wield the controller, debating every decision. Now, developer Supermassive has moved away from Sony to build a multi-platform successor to Until Dawn called The Dark Pictures Anthology.
'Until Dawn' creators return with 'The Dark Pictures Anthology'
Until Dawn developer Supermassive Games is back with another branching horror game, but it's breaking from tradition in more ways than one. It's launching The Dark Pictures Anthology, a collection of self-contained titles that touch on various horror genres. There's no (known) connection to the Until Dawn universe, and this won't be a PlayStation-only franchise -- it'll be available on Xbox One and PC as well.
