The team at Cloudhead Games is pleased to continue their support of their flagship title, Pistol Whip, with its thirteenth free content update, dubbed Elixir of Madness! The number is a fitting milestone, as the collection is set to inject a dose of ghastly delight with three all-new Scenes for players to battle through.
Inspired by vintage horror cinema and seedy absinthe speakeasies, the new Scenes each feature a unique electroswing track, and will beckon players through a phantasmagorical journey through haunted abodes, nightmarish laboratories, and even their own minds.
More about the Elixir of Madness! Collection:
- The first new Scene, soundtracked by Odd Chap jive “Halloween Party,” will arrive on October 5th, while the second and third Scenes will arrive on October 12th and 19th, respectively.
- Three new weapons will be added to players’ arsenal: the Sawed-off Shotgun, the Tommy Gun, and the wickedly fun Skull Bludgeon.
- The game will also receive three new modifiers: the oft-requested Laser Pointer, which adds a laser sight to player weapons for increased accuracy; Glitch, an added challenge that forces players to think twice before they shoot; and Bullet Graze, which rewards players for dodging bullets by the hair of their chins.
“Even though we just wrapped up the bombastic Overdrive Season, our team is still dedicated to finding new ways to surprise and excite our players,” said Tyler McCulloch, Game Director at Cloudhead Games. “We’re looking forward to seeing how the community reacts to Elixir’s electroswing weirdness—especially our modders, as this update will also bring a hoard of new assets to the Pistol Mix modding tool. Enjoy!”
Pistol Whip’s next content collection, Elixir of Madness!, will be available October 5th as a free update on Quest 2, PlayStation®VR2, Pico, and Steam VR.
