Landfall releases four-player co-op horror game Content Warning for PC

Landfall’s found footage co-op horror game has had massive success in its first few weeks, and has now reached yet another milestone.

Content Warning publisher Landfall Games has announced the viral Steam hit has sold an impressive one million copies even after its eye-catching free launch period.

There’s clearly a lot of demand for comedic co-op horror games right now. Lethal Company took the industry by storm when it launched last year, and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator studio Landfall’s Content Warning is now also having its moment in the sun.

«Bring out the party poopers» – Content Warning has sold over one million copies.

Remember when Pac-Man got its own battle royale game where 64 Pac-People competed to eat each other and be the ‘Chomp Champ’? Me neither! But Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle apparently came out on Google Stadia - ah, that’d be why - back in 2020, and served up a massively (or at least medium-ly) multiplayer spin on the arcade classic. With Stadia dead and buried, Mega Tunnel Battle is chewing its way out of the streaming console’s grave with a new subtitle and a fresh Steam release next month.

Players of wacky co-op horror game Content Warning are being asked by publisher Landfall if their wildest recordings can be used for a lost footage project which would see it hidden in-game for other players to find.

Lanfall Publishing has commented on the possibility of the recently released Content Warning being ported to PlayStation and Xbox consoles, saying it's possible but it might be a while before it happens. Content Warning was released on April Fools' Day for free for a very limited time, and is a game where players are tasked with joining their friends in filming spooky things happening in the world to become viral on SpookyTube. Thanks to the nonexistent price point very early on, the game became incredibly popular, garnering over six million downloads within a short amount of time.

Despite only releasing a few days ago, cooperative multiplayer horror game Content Warning has a new update. The development team at Landfall added several new Content Warning features that players will find useful as they attempt to record spooky occurrences as a team.

In light of the recent early access launch and success of co-op comedy horror title Content Warning, developer Landfall has released its first major patch for the game to help fix a number of issues. While it’s far from a major content update, the patch addresses smaller issues faced by players, including reducing hard drive usage for recordings, and the option to invert mouse settings. Several new items have also been added.

Content Warning — the viral co-op horror hit from the team behind Totally Accurate Battle Simulator — has just received its first patch. And alongside a first batch of bug fixes, it brings a bunch of new toys to play with in the depths, including party poppers and a reporter mic.

It's a fond hope, a fool's hope, but perhaps 2024 will be remembered not as the year of Yet More Layoffs, but the year of Unexpected Hits. Surprise record-setters like Palworld, which I don't especially like, Helldivers 2, which I rather enjoy, and now Content Warning, which I'm still figuring out. If you missed it, the co-op horror game released on Monday with a temporary free promotion, and racked up a 200,000-player Steam concurrency last night. Published by Totally Accurate Battle Simulator outfit Landfall, it's sort of like Lethal Company in being about venturing into horrible places as a wibbly-wobbly defenceless explorer, but rather than gathering scrap for resale, you're filming yourself and the monsters in a bid to publish a viral "SpookTube" video, with tuber celebrity translating into cash for new equipment.

Content Warning, the latest internet sensation to surge up the Steam charts, is struggling with server issues as its developer confirms the co-operative horror romp has now been downloaded over 6.2m times since launching yesterday.
