With its fire-swept valleys, magical swords, old-school twin revolvers, and ghastly monsters, Hellsweeper VR asks in all-capital letters: DARE TO DESCEND TO HELL? I mean, I think I am. Tentatively at least.
You see, Hellsweeper VR's latest trailer – aired during the Future Games Show's VR showcase – looks great. But it also looks bloody terrifying. So much so, that while I'd love to slap on a virtual reality headset and travel further south than I ever hoped I'd need to, I'm also petrified of doing so. Which, to Hellsweeper VR's credit, is mission accomplished, right?
As a VR-powered first-person action-combat affair, Hellsweeper VR is the work of Mixed Realms, the same studio who brought us ninja simulator Sairento VR back in 2018. The team's latest venture is distinctly darker in tone, granting players access to this world's fiery depths as an undead immortal whose purpose is to rid hell itself of its demonic souls.
In doing so, you'll harness an array of deadly weapons, rely on powers such as telekinesis, and defy mere mortal physics with wall-runs, backflips, power slides, and even Max Payne-esque twin pistol-blasting bullet time attacks. The footage shared at the Future Games Showcase VR showcase is breakneck as is – just the thought of doing so while fully-immersed via Steam VR at launch (and PS VR 2 and Meta Quest down the line) is enough to make your head spin.
Dare you descend to hell? Make that decision for yourself when Hellsweeper VR lands on September 21, 2023.

Fans of the franchise have highly anticipated Alan Wake 2. It’s a game that’s been in the works for Remedy Entertainment for quite a few years, too. However, the video game has finally been approved, and the developers are now finally getting ready to reach the finish line. With that said, we know the game will be arriving next month, and while we wait for the game to reach the marketplace, there is a new video drop from IGN highlighting an early mission for Alan Wake 2.
Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 has received extensive new gameplay, focusing on new protagonist Saga Anderson. The early mission sees the FBI agent venturing through Watery, gathering information and clues before going to a theme park called Coffee World. Check it out below, courtesy of IGN.

Panic is an odd little company. It started out in the late 1990s as an app developer, and in 2016 it pivoted to video game publishing with Firewatch, followed by Untitled Goose Game in 2019. Both of these were breakout indie hits, resulting in significant success for the developers and Panic itself. And then, in 2022, Panic debuted the Playdate, a tiny yellow game console with a crank on the side and a monochromatic display. Playdate was a verified hit and its library is still being updated today.
