To celebrate the 2-year anniversary of the original PC release of The Mortuary Assistant, DarkStone Digital and DreadXP are thrilled to announce that the bone-chilling horror will be coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on August 2nd. In addition to launching on new platforms, the Definitive Edition brings updated gameplay to both the PC and Nintendo Switch versions as well.
In The Mortuary Assistant, you take on the role of Rebecca Owens, a newly graduated apprentice at River Fields Mortuary, but not everything at this job is as it seems. Late one night you are called in to handle some embalmings. When the Mortician, Raymond, calls the mortuary when you arrive, you soon realize this is a night like none other and there’s no escape from the demonic forces plaguing the mortuary.
Examine and prepare bodies with disturbingly realistic techniques including cleaning, embalming, jaw-wiring, and more. Some bodies require the basics before returning them to the morgue, while others will need more of an esoteric approach to dispel the demons possessing them.

Many people often ponder, “What if I had chosen differently? What if I had seized another opportunity or followed an alternate path instead of the one I took?” This omnipresent question is often central to our lives. Along his thought-provoking journey in 11 bit studios’ upcoming sci-fi game, The Alters, protagonist Jan Dolski will discover concrete answers to many of his very own ‘what ifs’ of life.
Those answers will come in the form of the alters, his embodied alternative personalities. While he shares many physical features and certain memories—both pleasant and unpleasant—with them, other aspects of their lives vary greatly. These differences lead to some alters being more confident, happier, or more fulfilled than Jan or the other alters. Additionally, each alter may possess distinct skills the others lack, which will be necessary to operate and maintain a stranded circular base. After unexpected mission complications, Jan seeks their help, even though many may not comprehend how he could be so cruel to bring them to life only to inform them of the grave danger they all face.

Stranded on a planet with a deadly, scorching sun that necessitates constant relocation of the mobile base he lives in, and with the data of all deceased crew members missing from the base’s onboard Quantum Computer after a crash landing, Jan is left with no options. Upon discovering an eerie resource called Rapidium, he must alter pivotal decisions that shaped his life—such as whether to leave for university or stay in his hometown to care for his sick mother—and confront the consequences, all in an effort to save all of his lives.
The Alters will launch later this year for Windows 11 PC and consoles. The game will also be coming to both PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass upon its release.
With Frostpunk 2 set to launch on September 20th for PC—and on PC Game Pass—the development team is tirelessly integrating both previously planned and entirely new content into the ever-expanding game. With the debut of a new series of developer diaries, we can now take a peek behind the curtain of the team’s creative process as we await Frostpunk 2’s launch this Fall.
‘City Unbound’ is a seven-episode series combining interviews with new footage from this city-building strategy survival game, developed by one of 11 bit studios’ three in-house teams. Each episode will offer an in-depth look at the core strengths and unique aspects of this ambitious sequel, such as expanding New London on an unprecedented scale and exploring the implications of the end of the Captain’s authoritarian rule 30 years after the events of the first game.
Players will delve into the various layers of the Idea Tree and Zeitgeist—a general ideological landscape of their city—which will be shaped by how they handle factions and navigate through their conflicting ideas.
With factions becoming one of the most significant new features, the developers will also focus on how the Council operates, where political shenanigans unfold, and practical ways of reclaiming the frostland from the icy wilderness.
