Gun Interactive is proud to have worked with legendary horror actress Barbara Crampton for the newest DLC Victim, Virginia. Based on Crampton herself, she brings her character to life through her amazing voice work! Gun Interactive is more than ecstatic to have Barbara Crampton involved in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Players will be able to use her special ability Boon for a fighting chance to survive against The Slaughter Family. Boon will let players contaminate blood buckets with a special mixture Virginia can make at the crafting tables found across each map. This substance can be thrown at a Family member to make them temporarily blinded. With a tragic backstory of leaving her life as a nurse to find her missing son Jesse, Virginia comes across The Slaughter Family. Having been a nurse in the past, her ability offers a new take on Victim gameplay.
Alongside Virginia, all players will be able to enjoy the new free map, The Mill. This map plays unlike any other, with more verticality introduced where players will be able to traverse more than three floors. A Ghost Town, a dry riverbed, and a few other locations on this map will give players a fresh new experience to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Both The Mill and Virginia are now available. Virginia will be available to purchase for $9.99 USD.
Steam (PC) players can also take advantage of the Free Weekend, running from 3/28/24 at 1PM EDT through 4/1/24 at 1 PM EDT, where they can try before they buy.

Rightsized Games and Team17 Digital have today announced rogue-like resource management sim Undead Inc. will launch on 2nd May on PC. Stepping into the role of managing director of their very own Endswell Medical franchise, players will be tasked with growing the business, stuffing the coffers, and meeting the demands of an increasingly hungry board of directors, all while keeping their reputation in check, the money flowing, and the bodies buried.
As the public-facing arm of Endswell Medical keeps things running above ground (and above board) its nefarious underbelly is where the real transformative and lucrative magic happens. Players will research and develop bioweapons, questionable pharmaceuticals, and dangerous technology to put up for sale to the highest bidder, all while turning a blind eye to any… situations that may arise.
Of course, eventually the truth will out, and to continue Endswell Medical’s ambitious growth strategy, players will have to uproot their operation, grabbing armfuls of money, equipment, and other unmentionables on the way out – enough to establish a brand-new corporation in a new spot – and start the cycle anew.
Undead Inc. Key Features
Research above all: The money won’t make itself, and the most lucrative adventures require a less than ethical path: Deadly bioweapons, questionable pharmaceuticals, illegal technology – nothing is off the table
All about the base: Choose from several different biomes to build a base of operations, each with its own opportunities and challenges
The end comes for us all: Eventually, the directors’ crimes will catch up with them, so prepare to flee with as much cash, drugs, and research to fund the next Big Pharma in the next town over
Management is key to success: Hiring the cheapest labour might sound like a good fit, but ultimately, loose lips sink ships – the right person in the right position can spell the difference between success and a bioweapon on the loose
The Director will see you now: Being at the top is tough, and choosing the right director to stand at the helm of the newest Endswell Medical franchise is imperative to success, each on boasts their own special abilities, buffs, and back stories.
Today OTXO (pronounced ‘oh-cho’), the brutally intense action-roguelike from Super Rare Games and Lateralis Heavy Industries, descends upon PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4 and Nintendo Switch!
Hailed as a worthy successor to Hotline Miami, OTXO throws players into a dark mansion as a nameless protagonist on a desperate mission. Players will blast through relentless enemies, painting the walls red and customizing their attack plan with each bloody, roguelike run.
As players delve deeper into the mansion, carving a bloody path through enemies, they’ll begin to unravel its mysteries. With each brutal battle, the mansion may reveal its secrets, and perhaps even unlock the puzzle of the players’ own forgotten past.
Endless replayability awaits. The mansion’s layout shifts with each run, offering a fresh challenge every time. Players can choose from a vast arsenal of weapons, unlock over 100 abilities, and master the strategic slow-motion ‘Focus’ mechanic to conquer OTXO’s ever-changing depths.

**Update: Enlisted Has Been Removed from Steam, here is the official message from Gaijen:
Dear Players,
We see that many of you are very dissatisfied with the Early Access version we made available on Steam. Some of you are not happy that the game is bundled with a paid DLC on Steam. Some of you couldn’t link your existing Gaijin.Net accounts to the Steam version due to technical issues. We’re deeply sorry for this.
We’ve removed the Early Access version of Enlisted: Reinforced from the Steam Store for now. All users who purchased a Steam access pack for Enlisted: Reinforced can continue playing via Steam. Meanwhile, we’ll do our best to assess what we can do to address the issues you raised.
Unfortunately, there is a significant technical obstacle preventing us from making the linking process smooth enough. It occurs if a player has already linked their Steam account to another Gaijin.Net game, but the email used there and the one used for Enlisted do not match. This completely breaks our linking procedure.
The existing Steam version was never intended to be available to a massive number of players, hence the “Early Access” status, so making it available to existing huge audience of Enlisted fans could probably lead to even more dissatisfaction, as more people would face these technical issues, or new ones.
We’d like to apologise once again for letting down both our existing players and those who wishlisted the game on Steam. Please follow the news on our website while we continue exploring our Steam options, looking for a solution for a linking issue and polishing all aspects of the game.
Original News Release
Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce that the WW2 online shooter Enlisted: Reinforced is now available on Steam. Early Access to the game is granted to those who purchase one of the access packs with unique game content. Enlisted: Reinforced also runs on Steam Deck and supports full cross-play with all platforms where Enlisted is available.
Early Access phase will give developers time to improve support for the unique features of Steam and Steam Deck (a Linux version of the game was created for this device from scratch).
Early Access packs include premium soldier squads and vehicles, that will allow commanders who are new to Enlisted to fight any opponents on equal terms even in their first battles. Players who continue to support the developers using the Gaijin.Net client can purchase similar packs in the Gaijin.Net store to receive the same gaming experience as users of the Steam version.
Enlisted: Reinforced boasts all the content created for Enlisted in recent years – hundreds of weapons, vehicles and equipment that actually existed during WW2. Some of the latest additions to Enlisted include Type Hei automatic rifles, M26 Pershing heavy tanks, Ki-84 ko fighters & more. After the recent update, the game allows you to control the tail gunners of the aircraft. Major updates for Enlisted are usually released several times a year, bringing even more content.
The visuals are also constantly being improved: i.e. in March, Enlisted added support for the DirectX 12 API (currently being tested) and FSR 2.0 scaling technology. On previous generation consoles, a “high performance mode” preset was added, which can increase FPS up to 60 frames per second. The version for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 runs in 1080p resolution, and on PlayStation 4 Pro – 1800p.
More information about these and other changes in the game can be found on the official website of the game.
Eureka Entertainment announces the June 25 release of Beast Fighter, two thrilling martial arts movies based on the hit manga series Karate Baka Ichidai and starring Sonny Chiba. Presented for the first time ever on Blu-ray from brand-new restorations as part of the Eureka Classics range. The first print run of 2000 copies will feature an O-card slipcase and collector’s booklet.
The mighty Sonny Chiba (Bodyguard Kiba) stars in two spectacular martial arts movies based upon the real life of Masutatsu “Mas” Ōyama – the fabled bull-slaying karate master who trained none other than Chiba himself.
In Karate Bullfighter (or Champion of Death), a karate tournament is crashed by an enigmatic martial artist calling himself Ōyama (Chiba), who arrives in tattered rags and beats all who dare challenge him. But Ōyama’s entrance into the world of karate has unforeseen consequences, and soon he is fighting for far more than sporting victory. Then, in Karate Bearfighter, Ōyama is expelled from the karate community for refusing to pull his punches. With nowhere else to turn, he takes a job with the yakuza after running into Kimura (Hideo Murota), who Ōyama once knew as a fellow member of the Imperial Japanese Air Service before he turned to a life of crime. Ultimately, though, Ōyama has no more respect for his superiors on the streets than he did in the dojo…
Directed by Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (Sister Street Fighter), Karate Bullfighter and Karate Bearfighter were adapted from the popular manga series Karate Baka Ichidai by Ikki Kajiwara, which ran from 1971 to 1977 and chronicled the life and legend of Mas Ōyama. Eureka Classics is proud to present both films for the first time ever on Blu-ray from brand new restorations of the original film elements by Toei.
SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:
Limited edition O card slipcase (first print run of 2000 copies only); 1080p presentations of both films across two Blu-ray discs, from new restorations of the original film elements by Toei; Original Japanese mono audio; Optional English subtitles; Brand new feature length audio commentaries on both films by action cinema experts Mike Leeder & Arne Venema; In Search of the Ultimate Truth – Brand new video essay by Jonathan Clements, author of A Brief History of the Martial Arts; Original theatrical trailers; PLUS: A Limited edition collector’s booklet featuring new writing by Eddie Falvey (first print run of 2000 copies only).
