The Blackout Club Launches on PC and Consoles this July

Co-op horror game The Blackout Club is growing up and making its way out of Steam Early Access. The little scamp of a game, which pits a group of teenagers against a legion of monsters that have invaded their small town, will formally launch on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on July 30th.

The Blackout Club tasks players with teaming up and getting to the bottom of what’s happened to their town. A suburban neighborhood and its surrounding forest is open for exploration, with the game putting an emphasis on open-ended design so that missions can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Missions also contain procedurally generated elements which affect enemy locations, difficulty, objective, and more. A variety of tools can be used to distract enemies and escape their clutches when caught. There’s also a persistent enemy type called The Shape that can only be seen when players “close their eyes” in-game.

I played The Blackout Club a few months ago and put it aside because it was a little rough, but I look forward to checking it out once it releases next month. I’ve heard great things, and I’m always up for quality multiplayer horror games.
