CULT Games announced they’ve picked up publishing for Hotel Barcelona, the new serial killer thriller game from White Owls Inc. and creators Hidetaka “SWERY” Suehiro and Goichi ‘SUDA51’ Suda.

Hotel Barcelona will be published by CULT Games when it now launches sometime later in 2025, for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The game is also now confirmed to focus on multiplayer co-op.

Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:

From legendary Japanese creators Hidetaka “SWERY” Suehiro (Deadly Premonition, D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die) and Goichi “SUDA51” Suda (No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw), experience a mind-bending, bloodthirsty trip unlike any other – where seven carnage driven worlds imprison you in a hotel filled with serial killers.
 
Step into the shoes of rookie on the beat U.S. Marshal Justine, who has the small problem of the unhinged soul of a serial killer, Dr Canival, possessing her. Trapped within the grounds of the HOTEL BARCELONA, and desperate to check out, Justine must hack and slash her way through bloodthirsty lackeys and monstrous bosses – all inspired by horror’s most nail biting classics.
