This time it’s the noughties.
Hypnospace Outlawis getting a sequel.
Well, a spiritual sequel called Dreamsettler.
And there’s more: another new game called Slayer X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengeance of the Slayer.
It’s more of an accompaniment or spin-off, and it’s fictitiously made by Hypnospace Outlaw character Zane!
The Slayer X game is like retro Doom, orDuke Nukem 3D- a game in that vein.
It’s pixelated and filled with trashy gore and ridiculous weaponry.
And if you know the story of Hypnospace Outlaw, you’ll know Zane is out for revenge.
A noughties audience?!
Well, that’s when Dreamsettler is set, so that’s the timeframe we’re now thematically in.
You know what that means: ridiculous videos to watch!
I can’t wait.
Slayer X is apparently due “extremely soon”, according to No More Robots boss Mike Rose.
And both games are looking at releases on PC and Switch and Xbox, with PlayStation not yet confirmed.
Hypnospace Outlaw came out in spring 2019 and I reviewed it.
