Velan Studios, maker of Knockout City, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, and Hot Wheels Rift Rally, has announced Midnight Murder Club, a new six-player first-person multiplayer game where you have everything. To survive against other players is a flashlight, a gun, and your wits. It is scheduled to be released on PC via Steam in fall 2024.
Midnight Murder Club plans to launch four game modes: traditional deathmatch (in regular team or 2v2v2 variants); Free for all, who values death above all else; Hunter/Hunted, where two players become hunters and try to prevent the rest from locating and burning four hidden statues; and Thief in the Night, in which teams of two try to steal more valuable items from the other duo.
“With Midnight Murder Club, we started with a simple idea for a dark shooter and quickly realized we had something unique,” said game director Eric Forstein. “By playing with light, dark and sound, we are able to deliver an exciting gaming experience that keeps players’ adrenaline pumping. Playing in total darkness is a whole new experience where you are afraid to turn on your flashlight for fear of someone seeing it, but you also don’t want to turn it off for fear of getting lost.” Your way.
