Soft Source Publishing, in association with Digital Happiness, has just announced the launch of physical editions for the Nintendo Switch versions of DreadOut 2 in The Americas for November 1st, 2024. In DreadOut 2 players take on the role of Linda, a high school student with a supernatural power to sense and see ghosts. Along with the aid of her trusty smartphone, Linda will hunt the nightmarish spirits and dark forces that threaten her hometown. This sequel expands on the original cult game with all-new melee combat and a greater emphasis on exploration. While I can’t see myself playing DreadOut 2 I can see myself watching a stream of the game. From the trailer I can tell I am not man enough to experience this one by myself in a dark room. You will have to hunt and defeat intangible ghosts with Linda’s smartphone camera, or use melee weapons and projectiles against any physical ghosts you come into contact with. Linda will explore her hometown and beyond, having to speak to both living residents and dead ones.
