Episode 2: Shake The Hive, sees players don the coat of Eliot Ness once again, as he dives deeper and deeper into the conspiracy that he discovered in Episode 1. Players can expect to visit diverse locales including a submarine, learn more about Eliot’s past, meet new characters, explore more complex crime scenes, and enjoy improved gun combat. As with Episode 1, the players’ choices will have an impact on the storyline and culminate in a gripping cliffhanger.

We scored Blues and Bullets Episode 2: Shake the Hive a 3.5 out of 5 in our review of the PC version of the game saying, “In the grand scheme of things, the Blues and Bullets story is an interesting tale that has me clamoring for what comes next. Without getting into too many spoilers, I think it’s safe to say that developer A Crowd of Monsters can put together a tale that is both compelling and frightening at the same time. If the third episode can cut down on the repetitive gunplay while continuing the trend of making the investigations more ambitious I think it could be the best one yet.”

Blues and Bullets Episode 2: Shake The Hive is now available for Xbox and PC for $4.99 / €4.99 / £3.99 and as part of the Blues and Bullets Season Pass bundles, and will be available for Playstation 4 later in April.
