Those words, in concert, are like daggers to some
Today during the extremelylow key Microsoft Gamescom kickoff conference, we mostly got a look at existing/known games, and very much in a “we knew most of this already” fashion. ButInto the Pit,one of the few actual reveals, managed to make an impact.
Initially thinking this was a New Blood joint (they kind of have that genre on lock),Into the Pitis a retro-focused FPS roguelite. Now I know those words are painful to some of you, but the “lite” bit, if handled correctly, might give you some solace.
Here’s the gist of whatInto the Pitis offering, narratively: “As a member of a family of lore-hunting mystics you are summoned to a cursed village, drawn by rumors of a demonic portal. Dark magics have overwhelmed the village, It’s up to you to rescue the survivors, grow your powers, and journey forth into the pit.” I’m getting extremeDoomandHeretic/Hexenvibes which is mostly a good thing.
They will, however, have to compete with theFive Nights at Freddy‘s “Into the Pit” SEO. Good luck! It’s set to arrive on October 19 on PC (also on Steam) and Xbox One (via Game Pass) from Nullpointer Games, which is just in time for Halloween.
