‘Bladekisser’ DLC Adds Swordplay to ‘Trepang2’ on July 25 [Trailer]

Published

If you’re hungry for more of Trepang Studios and Team17 Digital’s F.E.A.R.-inspired Trepang2 (and really, who isn’t?), you’ll have more to chew on next month with the release of the game’s Bladekisser” DLC. Just as it sounds, the DLC adds swordplay to Trepang2‘s arsenal, as well as plenty of foes for you to carve up through new missions and areas.

Releasing on July 25, Bladekisser will feature 3 new weapons: a sword to slice and dice, a revolver, and a “mint machine gun” to obliterate your enemies. The DLC will also include 2 new side missions, 9 combat simulator maps, 3 HVTs and new intel.

If you’ve already sprung for the Trepang2 Season Pass, you’ll get Bladekisser when it releases next month. If you haven’t grabbed the Season Pass, Bladekisser will be available for $7.99.

And if for some reason you haven’t yet snagged Trepang2, read our review, then go plunk grab it. Right now Trepang2 is part of the Team 17 publisher sale on Steam, which has 40% off all editions of Trepang2, including the Deluxe and Banger Editions which feature the Season Pass.

Touted as a spiritual successor to the fast-paced, over-the-top first-person shooters of the mid-2000s (namely Monolith’s classic), Trepang2 “pairs high-octane, first-person gun-fu gameplay with a devastating heavy metal soundtrack”. Stepping into the boots of a newly enhanced super soldier broken out from a government black site, you’ll embark on a supernatural journey of death, destruction, and corporate conspiracies.

In addition to Steam, Trepang2 is also available on on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

‘Resident Evil’ Cast Reunite With Rebecca Chambers’ Actress [Watch]

Published

on

Director Andrew Saullo has just dropped the second Resident Evil cast reunion. And this time, Charlie KraslavskyGreg Smith and Eric Pirius (who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, respectively) are joined by the surprise addition of Rebecca Chambers’ actress, known as Linda! The quartet were joined by Saullo, as well as Residence of Evil founder JJ Trulock to discuss (what else?) their experience with Resident Evil, as well as some behind-the-scenes info on the shoot for the cutscenes.

Regarding the shoot for the cutscenes, Linda said that the experience “left a really big impact” on her at the time. “It was a big day. It was a wild shoot and it was very different than anything else that I had been doing in Japan at the time when I was modelling.” Still, Linda did remember her fellow actors, though she admitted that they all “looked a little bit different” at the time, including herself. “I remember for the shoot, I actually had blonde hair, and they spray painted my hair that morning so I would look more like Rebecca.”

As for her knowledge of Resident Evil, Linda admitted that she’s still learning about the series and her character. “I didn’t know a lot about the job, or that anyone was looking for [me] up until probably about four years ago, where someone reached out to me and they found me. But even then, I didn’t understand the magnitude of the entire situation. Only now I’m realizing like wow, there’s maybe someone out there that you know it’s like ‘Wow, that’s Rebecca Chambers!’. So it’s new to me, and I’m kind of just going with it.”

The interview (which you can check out below) also includes a special announcement of a four-part fan-made web series, which will be directed by Andrew Saullo (who also directed the fan-made short The Keeper’s Diary, in case you missed it). All four of the actors will be reprising their roles in the web series. It will not be an official Resident Evil series (for copyright reasons). Crowdfunding for the project will be launched “soon”.
