Midnight Murder Club is gearing up to intrigue players with its early access launch on March 13 for both PC and PS5. Set in an expansive, dark mansion, this game challenges up to six players to rely on their flashlights to navigate, but beware — turning on that beam might just alert lurking enemies. For those brave souls hoping to slip through unnoticed, using sound and proximity chat will be their best allies as they explore this sprawling environment.
Velan Studios, the brains behind this first-person shooter party game, initially intended for its release in December 2024 on Steam. However, in a surprising twist accompanied by a beta opportunity, the game will now also be available on PS5, much to the delight of eager gamers. At The Game Awards 2024, the anticipation built even further with the unveiling of a new trailer detailing more about this gripping hide-and-seek experience.
Those who’ve been itching for some first-hand action will be pleased to learn that the early access starts on March 13 for both Steam and PS5 users. Velan Studios is eagerly seeking player feedback as adventurers fumble through the ominous depths of Wormwood Manor. PlayStation enthusiasts will need a PS Network account, a PS Plus subscription, and an internet connection to join the fun.
As the early access kicks off, players will dive into familiar modes like Free for All, Thief in the Night, Team Deathmatch, and Headhunters, which have been part of the crossplay beta. But there’s an exciting twist — a brand-new Wildcards mode, where players select cards that dramatically alter game rules. Imagine explosions upon death or rapid-fire super speed, adding a layer of unpredictability that keeps everyone on their toes.
Recognizing the spirit of gaming with friends, Velan Studios introduces the Midnight Murder Club Guest Pass Edition. This edition brings the convenience of playing with a group of friends without the hassle of everyone having to purchase the game. By offering the ability to invite up to five additional players at no extra cost, it ensures whether you’re diving into public or private matches, the entire squad can enjoy all the available modes. As of now, the game’s pricing and the duration of the early access period remain undisclosed, keeping players on the edge of their seats.
