New Blood Interactive have announced that the highly anticipated immersive stealth-action game Gloomwood will be receiving a slight delay.

Gloomwood was originally supposed to finally enter Early Access on August 16th, but has since been delayed to September 6th.

The cause of the small 3-week delay is due to several developers catching COVID. The delay also gives New Blood Interactive’s game ULTRAKILL some breathing room, as the retro-inspired shooter is set to receive a huge update on August 16th. As an added bonus, the developers will have a little extra time to polish Gloomwood in a few places ahead of its Early Access launch.

You can find a rundown (via Steam) below:

Gloomwood is a stealth horror FPS that follows your mysterious abduction to a forgotten, twisted Victorian metropolis in the midst of a horrifying transformation. Wield your canesword and take to the shadows as you uncover the accursed mystery hidden within the fog.

The producers of DUSK, AMID EVIL, ULTRAKILL and FAITH bring you a frightening, gothic immersive sim full of haunted streets, dark tunnels and decadent mansions.

Explore

• An intricate, hand-crafted city with freeform exploration – from towering rooftops down to hidden passages, the routes you take and paths you make, are your choice.
• A detailed stealth and sound system that tracks your light visibility and propagates noise accurately through the world. Tread lightly. Or prepare to get loud.

Scavenge

• A unique arsenal to meet any situation – a stealthy canesword, six-shot revolver, folding shotgun, hand-placed traps, rope-slinging harpoon rifle and more.
• In-depth player interactivity, from leaning to eavesdrop, peeking through door cracks, checking the bullets in your firearms and mantling onto ledges.

Survive

• A mob of ghastly denizens and monsters with acute senses, like the sharp-clawed Crowmen and the fearsome, cadaver-seeking Corpse Duster.
• Gloomwood is full of objects to pick up, throw, climb, smash and use to your advantage.
  There is more to this city than you can possibly imagine…
