Sony's Midnight Murder Club: A Spooky Multiplayer Experience Awaits
Mark your calendars for Thursday, August 14, as Sony prepares to unveil Midnight Murder Club, a unique “horror party game” exclusive to consoles. In an interesting twist, the game will also be available on PC on the same day. After spending several months in early access, it has garnered “Mostly Positive” feedback on Steam and boasts an impressive 4.49-star rating on the PlayStation Store, despite having a relatively small player base so far.
Unravel Mysteries with Friends
In Midnight Murder Club, you and up to five friends will venture into a treacherous mansion filled with traps and puzzles that keep you guessing at every turn. The first-person perspective immerses players in this eerie environment where proximity chat adds an intimate touch-every creak of wood or hushed whisper feels like it's happening right next to you. Priced at just $19.99, this game allows you to invite your entire crew without straining your wallet. If you're eager for some spine-tingling multiplayer fun, jump into early access today or hold out for the full launch next month.
A Year of Ups and Downs for PlayStation
This year has been quite eventful for PlayStation fans; Astro Bot took home Game of the Year honors while Concord faced closure just days after its debut. Meanwhile, Bungie has postponed Marathon's extraction shooter until after 2025. However, there's plenty of excitement ahead with anticipated titles like Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei generating buzz as fall approaches. Midnight Murder Club is part of this exciting lineup and offers a budget-friendly option for gathering your PS5 friends.
A Shift in Sony's Strategy?
Typically, most exclusives from Sony remain confined to PS5 for at least a year before making their way to PC platforms; however, Midnight Murder Club breaks that trend-similar to Helldivers 2 and Concord before it. Whether this indicates a broader change in Sony's approach remains uncertain but presents an excellent opportunity for gamers who want multiplayer experiences across both console and PC platforms.
Prepare Your Wallets!
The release date is fast approaching! Now is the perfect time to set aside some cash-sorry if we made you think about Primogems! Gather your friends together because soon you'll be diving into thrilling adventures filled with chills and unexpected scares-all without exceeding $20.
