The first two instalments in Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco Entertainment’s narrative-driven horror series The Dark Pictures Anthology, titled Man of Medan (2019) and Little Hope (2020) have today received a new free update many years after their original launches. The update, free to download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC copies of each game, introduces several features to hopefully “improve several aspects of the game giving an even greater immersive experience”. This is done through the following additions and improvements:
- New difficulty settings & QTE warnings
- Improved UI & interactions
- Updated bearing art & event triggers
- Increased walking speeds
- More accessibility options, including subtitle sizing
Furthermore, Man of Medan is also receiving a brand new chapter called ‘Flooded’, which features new gameplay, and new deaths to the ending of the game.
Want to play Man of Medan or Little Hope on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X natively? The update above has also been included in the newly released new-gen version of each title on both consoles. These are only being made available via the PlayStation Store and Xbox Marketplace respectively, so be sure to pick them up if you haven’t already.
The Dark Pictures Anthology sets out to present a series of stand-alone, branching cinematic horror games, designed to present a new terrifying experience on a regular basis. Each game is unconnected and will feature a brand-new story, setting and new cast of characters. The first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology is set to conclude this November, with the release of The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me.
