From its vibrant shade scheme to its extremely comedic overtones, there’s nothing about my time with Excessive on Life that made me assume, “wow, that is scary!” That will change quickly sufficient, although, as its upcoming DLC titled Excessive on Knife appears as if it is going to pack an exciting punch. Whereas we solely have a small teaser trailer from the Xbox Prolonged Showcase to go off of, the clip is sufficient to go away me each afraid and excited for Excessive on Knife.
Sadly, Squanch Video games has no launch date specified for Excessive on Knife, apart from stating that it will likely be coming quickly. The teaser clip itself is simply shy of a minute lengthy and it seems like one thing straight out of an Alien movie or a Lifeless House sport. With overly-squishy-sounding blood animations and terrifying large extraterrestrials, I’m loving the mix of humorous and spooky vibes Excessive on Life’s DLC is giving off to date.
Excessive on Knife goals to offer Knifey a bit extra time within the highlight in a brand-new planetary surroundings crammed to the brim with a various number of new characters, hazards, and scary surprises. Squanch Video games has additionally acknowledged on the DLC that it’ll “introduce a brand-new speaking gun character, Harper, voiced by Sarah Sherman.” Sherman is an actress and comic greatest identified for her surreal, horror-inspired comedy in addition to her sketches on reveals like Saturday Evening Reside.
It is a completely new search for the sport, and I’m excited to expertise a spookier a part of house that focuses on the darkish and dreary a bit greater than the colourful and foolish, with out dropping a contact of the latter qualities.
