New Still Wakes the Deep release date trailer reveals when its North Sea horror will be making waves
21.03.2024 - 23:01 / gamesradar.com
Still Wakes the Deep finally exclusively reveals a release date at the Future Games Show in an all-new trailer. The new footage also details more of the gameplay and environments of this mysterious and atmospheric horror game, set on a disaster-stricken 1970s oil rig called the Beira D.
Set to release on June 20, Still Wakes the Deep follows Caz McLeary, a working-class ex-boxer in 1975 making a living on the Beira D oil rig in the North Sea. While things might start off normal, as the crew deal with the day to day of rig work, things soon take a dark turn...
Without giving too much away an 'unknowable horror' threatens the rig, and Caz, as disaster strikes, threatening to tear the Beira D apart while the cold North Sea lashes against its crumbling legs. With no weapons, abilities or other tricks up his sleeves Caz needs to rely on his wits to navigate collapsing corridors and flooded passageways to survive.
From developer The Chinese Room, the studio behind iconic narrative horror games like Dear Esther, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture - and the upcoming Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - it's a studio with a long linage of atmospheric horror. As well as extensively researching the look and feel of 1970s oil rigs, or the people who worked on them, the studio has name-dropping some famous horror directors also inspiring Still Wakes the Deep: names like The Shining's Kubrick or Suspiria's Dario Argento, hinting at a surreal, more cosmic feel to the mysterious horrors underpinning the experience.
You can find out exactly what's happening on the Beira D oil rig, and whether or not you'll be able to survive it, when Still Wakes the Deep releases on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X on June 20th. It's also coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.

Apple to take help of Shutterstock to train its AI model
Apple has entered into a partnership with Shutterstock, a stock photos and videos library, to utilize its data for training its artificial intelligence (AI) models. The agreement suggests that Apple is making strides towards developing its proprietary foundation model. Despite previous speculations regarding the integration of Google's Gemini AI and Baidu's Ernie Bot (in China) into the iPhone 16 series for AI functionalities, it seems Apple's long-term strategy involves incorporating its own native AI model.

Reflecting on 30 Years of Warcraft - Blizzard Reveals Subscriber Trends at GDC
During a Games Developer Conference lecture reflecting on 30 years of Warcraft, Senior Vice President and Warcraft Franchise General Manager John Hight shared World of Warcraft subscriber trends from Legion through Dragonflight, noting the successes, failures, and changes made to course correct dwindling numbers following Shadowlands. As reported by Korean webzine Inven, Hight's talk began with history of the franchise, how it captured players with a revolutionary RTS and evolved into both an MMO and several other game types. While the talk itself is interesting enough, the focal point of the discussion reflects specifically on the successes and failures of World of Warcraft, how it built decades worth of fans, why some fans had turned away, and what changes were made to bring them back, with slides depicting subscriber trends from Legion through Dragonflight.

Last night, IGN posted a news piece about how Undawn, a free-to-play survival game starring Will Smith as some kind of apocalypse pal called Trey, has been a massive flop.

Italian-inspired Soulslike Enotria: The Last Song moves release date to August to avoid Elden Ring DLC
Last month, developers Jyamma announced Enotria: The Last Song, an Italian-inspired Soulslike where masks give you powers. It was originally due out on June 21st, but then FromSoftware announced that Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree would also launch on the same day. Not ideal. So, Jyamma delayed Enotria's release, and in an announcement at last night's Future Games Show, we now know it's launching in August. It has, however, dropped itself into another conundrum: Black Myth: Wukong, another hotly anticipated Soulslike, arrives a day earlier.
