Yes, first time a release date was announced. And the video got pulled. I think it was supposed to go live in 3 days (says Feb 6th) but someone accidentally made it live today. It was a 15 minute developer commentary for the game play mechanics.

Fortunately people snapped the info up.

[Topher]

Pretty slick looking game

Day before Jedi Survivor kind of sucks but not like they could have known about the delay. Loved the look of this game at MS's showcase last year, so will prioritize beating it before starting up Jedi Survivor.

Looks really good. April is a good time for me also.

If its like Sommerville, should be a brisk 6~ hour experience.

I'd be happy with a ton to play but MS is rumored to have decreased their marketing budget so now I must scream.

Curious about this game.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Fight demons, solve puzzles, and more in the story trailer for The Last Case of Benedict Fox, a beautifully nightmarish game from 11 bit studios coming out on April 27, 2023 on PC and Xbox.

 

[Duchess]

Hoping this will make its way to PlayStation at some point. Maybe it's a timed Xbox exclusive? That would be fine with me.

 

[Fredrik]

Looks better with uncut gameplay but cool to see it’s coming fairly soon.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Ahead of the looming release date, developers Plot Twist aired a thrilling gameplay trailer for The Last Case of Benedict Fox during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase. The Last Case of Benedict Fox is coming soon to PC and Xbox on April 27.

Cautiously optimistic with this one. Want to at least see how it reviews. And hopefully it turns out as great as it looks in these previews/ trailers!

 

[RPS37]

Did anyone try it?

 

[samoilaaa]

Did anyone try it?

yup , i played it for about 2 hours , its a metroidvenia game where you constantly go back and forth to unlock new paths/areas , the story is decent , gameplay is as good as it can be from a 2d game , i saw some people that dont like the layout of the buttons but i didnt find any problem with it

the biggest + of the game is the atmosphere , it has that cthulhu mystery/investigation feeling
