Deadlight returns with a director’s cut this June

Coming to PS4, PC, and Xbox One

Recommended Videos

As much as it’s a surprise to see Deep Silver and Abstraction bring back Deadlight of all things with an enhanced edition, I wouldn’t mind it if we got more of these Xbox Live Arcade revivals. Folks who went through the last console generation without an Xbox 360 missed out on some great titles.

Tequila Works’ zombie survival puzzle-platformer is getting a Director’s Cut release for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Besides the usual 1080p support, we’re looking at improved controls and animations, as well as a new mode, Survival Arena, “one of the toughest zombie challenges yet.” The touched-up game will cost $19.99 when it releases on June 21, 2016.

After mentioning this news in our staff chat, Brett was quick to express his memory of the original version — “the first act is really really great and then it all goes to shit” — which is, funny enough, precisely how our 2012 review describes it: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game that manages to start so strong and get progressively worse.”
