Western fans will be pleading for mercy as Corpse Party returns with an all-new set of horrors! Following last year’s announcement, Japanese developer MAGES and publishers XSEED Games (North America) and Marvelous (Europe) have revealed that Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion will be released this coming fall for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam. Read on to know what to expect from this title and preview the trailer below featuring the new characters and setting.
Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion Overview
The cult Japanese horror franchise returns with new characters, a new setting, and a terrifying new curse. In this standalone adventure, a colorful cast of high schoolers find themselves trapped in an eerie, abandoned hospital connected to an urban legend called “Ayame’s Mercy,” where they must use stealth and cunning to survive a multitude of gruesome ends.
Combining the Japanese horror aesthetic that made the original a cult classic with immersive adventure gameplay and an updated presentation, Corpse Party II: Darkness Distortion introduces players to a whole new set of horrors that will have them begging for mercy.
