Post Trauma gets a haunting new trailer, release date, and Steam Next Fest demo

 

Horror game Post Trauma just got a terrifying new trailer, which you can watch exclusively on Digital Trends. The clip reveals that Raw Fury’s new horror game will launch on March 31 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Post Trauma is a new survival horror game from developer Red Soul Games. It draws inspiration from Silent Hill, with an emphasis on psychological terror and puzzle solving. The project was initially announced during the 2022 Game Awards and eventually given an October 2024 release date before being pushed into 2025.  Now, publisher Raw Fury is rolling out the red carpet for it ahead of its release next month.

The new trailer contains a montage of unnerving images, showing off dark trainyards, fleshy monsters, and good old fashioned shotgun pump. That’s all powered by Unreal Engine 5. If it’s all a bit to cryptic for you, know that the story follows Roman, a train conductor voiced by Togo Igawa who finds himself stuck in a surreal alternate dimension. The voice cast also includes Autumn Ivy and Hyoie O’Grady.

Starting today, players can try Post Trauma for themselves with a new Steam Next Fest demo. That will be available through March 3. You can wishlist it on Steam if that demo clicks with you.

Digital Trends recently went hands on with Post Trauma‘s demo ahead of its launch today. We found that it stayed true to its Silent Hill roots with its focus on fixed camera angles, eerie environments, and brain-busting puzzles that beg for notetaking. Though its less focused on action, there are still plenty of grotesque abominations to smash in with crowbars. It’s shaping up to be a classic survival horror experience that’s reverential of the genre’s past without going the retro route.

Post Trauma launches on March 31 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

In the wake of several awesome video game showcases, the latest Steam Next Fest has arrived. Running from June 10 until June 17, this event on PC gaming storefront and launcher Steam gives indie developers and publishers a chance to share limited-time demos of their upcoming games so players can discover all the neat titles on the way in the indie space. It’s a reminder of the creativity of this industry in a year where companies are prioritizing profits over passion.

There are hundreds of demos in this year’s Steam Next Fest, so it can be a bit hard to sift through everything and discover the most entertaining titles. I had the opportunity to try many of them out ahead of Steam Next Fest over the past couple of weeks. From idle sandbox games to pretty Metroidvanias, these are the indie games from June 2024’s Steam Next Fest that stuck out to me the most and are worth trying for free sometime this week.

State of Decay 3 reemerges with a new trailer, but no release date
State of Decay 3 zombie.

During the June 2024 Xbox Games Showcase, Undead Labs showed off a new trailer for State of Decay 3. While the trailer didn't reveal a release date, it did show some new gameplay. The studio also has a new logo, representing its transition from being an indie studio to an Xbox one.

The trailer shows a desolate world filled with zombies and third-person shooter gameplay. The atmosphere feels much more fantastical and supernatural with its red hues, and is akin to Redfall rather than games with a more realistic tone like The Last of Us or Days Gone.
