Infernax fans can soon dive back into the game in a new and spooky way, this week!

Publisher The Arcade Crew and developer Berzerk Studio have announced that a Halloween update will be heading to the game on 25 October 2022. The update in question will add “The Stranger” – a new playable character that players can access by naming their save file “stranger”.

Check out the official trailer for the update below:

Introducing The Stranger, a deadly force to be reckoned with, armed with a shotgun and a multitude of blunt objects capable of producing extremely satisfying levels of gore as you take out your enemies. The Stranger is unlockable off the bat by starting a new save file.

Demon slayers eager to trade a mace for firepower can unlock The Stranger by naming a new save file’s character “stranger.” You’ll then don your sweet hockey mask, fully ready to face horrors beyond the kin of man, and hopefully turn them into a bloody pulp using your not so medieval arsenal of unlikely weapons. The badass shotgun that the Stranger comes equipped with packs a serious punch, both to the receiver and the giver. So be wary of where you use it ‘cause the kickback is real y’all. Wouldn’t want you to fall into the abyss right after exploding some demonic vermin; that would be a real shame.

With secrets to unlock, powerful abilities to learn, and an assortment of spells in your arsenal, you’ll be ready to face whatever lurks in the shadows and truly give em’ hell. Along the way, your morals will be tested by difficult choices that will shape not only the fate of Upel, but the fate of The Stranger or Alcedor themselves, leading to different gameplay paths. The challenge that lies ahead is not for the faint of heart, but Infernax offers both a classic hardcore mode and a more forgiving (but no less challenging) casual mode, for maximum enjoyment no matter how you play.
