The Quarry is a teen horror slasher-turned-video game

Supermassive Games, the company behind Until Dawn , has a new game called The Quarry, 2K Games has announced. Like past entries from the horror-narrative-focused studio, players control every every twist and turn of fate that will come in the direction of the main characters.

The Quarry is a teen-horror game in the vein of cinematic slasher-films that features choice-based gameplay where every decision players make has the chance to heavily effect what will happen in the story next. One of the game’s main draws is that anyone can die at any time depending on the choices players make.

The game takes place during a party to celebrate the last day of summer camp. In slasher movie fashion, it gets interrupted by locals hunting the teens down. Players control nine camp counselors who have to lead them to their survival — or face an untimely fate.

The counselors and other characters will be a huge treat for any horror fans that decide to venture into The Quarry, as the game features an ensemble cast of Hollywood faces, some from the fear-filled genre. David Arquette of the Scream franchise, Lance Henriksen from Aliens, Lin Shaye of Nightmare on Elm Street, Brenda Song from Dollface, and others appear here fully realized in Supermassive’s CG style.

The Quarry is set to release on June 10 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. You can pre-order the game right now if you dare take a summer camping trip that may be your last.

This new PC game turns Asteroids into a retro roguelike
An enemy ship fires a laser beam in Galactic Glitch.

Some games are so foundational that you can twist their formula thousands of times and they'll never get stale. That's how I feel about Asteroids. I've played hundreds of games that riff on the classic space shooter at this point, from Geometry Wars to Hyper Meteor. Even the weakest variations still tend to hook me in some way. There's just something satisfying about the primal joys of blasting alien ships.

I've got that feeling again while playing Galactic Glitch, which is out in early access today via Steam. On its surface, it looks like your average top-down space shooter -- and it is. You can already guess the basics of play by looking at some screenshots. Developer Crunchy Leaf Games takes that one step further, though, by placing a retro game style into a more modern action-roguelike. It may not be the most complex game in the genre in its early state, but I'm still enjoying the jolts of reliable retro action that Galactic Glitch provides.

All Resident Evil games in order, by release date and chronologically
Leon parries a chainsaw villager in Resident Evil 4.

There are almost no survival horror games that last for more than few entries, let alone ones that have persisted for decades like Resident Evil. This series had humble beginnings as a small horror experience set in a single mansion to explore, solve puzzles, and fight against the clunky tank controls and fixed camera angles. Since then, the series has evolved and grown into one of the most recognizable Capcom IPs there is, with new entries and amazing remakes coming out almost every year.

Currently, the highest-numbered Resident Evil game is 8, aka Village, but you would be wildly off if you thought there were only eight entries to consider when looking to complete the series. Right from the start, Resident Evil has loved expanding its world with a massive cast of characters and new protagonists from game to game. Resident Evil 7 was a soft reboot for the series, but there is still a cannon order to the events surrounding Umbrella, the various zombie viruses, and all our favorite heroes like Chris and Leon.

Starting at 3 a.m. ET, Prime subscribers can claim an Epic Games Store code for the game, which pits Harley Quinn, King Shark, Captain Boomerang, and Deadshot against Brainiac, who has brainwashed members of the Justice League to do his bidding. And in classic Suicide Squad fashion, they have to do it or risk getting their head exploded.
