Techland have been riding on Dead Island’s success ever since it came out on PC and consoles, but as of today, they’ve got something new in the mix. Hellraid has been seen as the dark fantasy version of Dead Island and Techland has announced today that a brand new mobile title set in this universe is coming soon called Hellraid: The Escape. So far, Techland’s only app on the App Store is Dead Stop ($0.99), a good tower defense that was riddled with IAP. Hellraid: The Escape is a totally different game more akin to In Fear I Trust ($2.99). Here’s the first trailer from the game:
It looks really gorgeous in a bleak sort of way. It’s quite ambitious as well, mixing puzzles, combat, free exploration. It’s also going to be free of IAP. They mention that you’ll be able to play it on your TV via Airplay or HDMI so that engine should be put to good use. We can’t wait to know more about it. Look for Hellraid: The Escape on May 15th on the App Store.
Update: In addition to the release date, we’ve been informed that Hellraid will be $2.99 when it launches and will not contain any IAP. Neat.
I have this on PC And never got into it. Just didn't try enough. But I'd love to try it on my iphone. Also, question about the red Dlc. So... If you have it on PC/Mac, you can get it for free on iphone?
If you own red on PC when you play on iPad/iPhone log into your same account that you use on PC as you'll have the red pack already.
Ohhhh. Thanks. That's awesome. Just hope the game works with a smaller screen. It's got a lot of stuff.
Woooooooo. Love games like this, like Arma Tactics and Breach and clear
This game was hella hard on PC. Don't know how it's gonna translate to iPhone; lots of pinching and zooming, I guess.
I love this game! I have to admit, I don't understand how the Red thing works; if the content is available in-game if purchased on PC/Mac, why isn't it available independently in the iOS version? Porting the content would seem to be the tricky part.
