And it's exactly what you expect.
Hotel Barcelona was detailed last week at Gamescom, the latest from Japanese creators SUDA51 (No More Heroes) and SWERY (Deadly Premonition).
“Part action, part roguelite, all fever dream. Wake up in a twisted hotel taken over by serial killers and become Justine, a fresh-faced federal marshal with a primeval monster possessing her brain,” reads a press release for the title, which is planned for a 26 September release.
“With trippy anime-style visuals designed by the artists behind genre-defying Japanese hits like Chainsaw Man, Persona, and Final Fantasy VII Remake, try to escape this luxury getaway turned psychedelic nightmare and defeat the hotel’s bloodthirsty new management – tough as nails brutes, psychopaths, and criminals from all over America. Suffice to say, you won’t be alive by checkout.”
“Lucky for you, in this re-invented roguelite, death isn’t the end – it’s just the start. Exact vengeance on gnarly opponents with the Slasher Phantoms, an army of spirits who mimic your actions from previous runs,” the press release continues.
“Build out an arsenal to die for as you trade your experiences throughout the hotel for game-changing upgrades and almost 100 lethal weapons to unlock. All set? Now it’s time for a killing spree! Keep up the carnage without breaking a sweat and be rewarded with the full force of Dr. Carnival, the ancient evil festering in your mind. Just don’t let that almighty power go to your head…”
Expect Hotel Barcelona from 26 September on Windows PC via Steam, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
