Stefan Kreutzer’s Post

Lara Croft has always been one of my favorite video game personalities, ever since I played the debut game on the PlayStation in 1997. Until recently, I even still had the original disc from back then. I donated it to a video game culture club a few years ago, and when I look at the prices on ebay today, I sometimes wonder, if that was such a smart move. I've played almost all of the following Tomb Raiders over the last 25 years, not always completely, but always with great enthusiasm, and Lara is rightly one of the most famous video game characters today and a pioneer in so many ways: Lara Croft is one of the first major female protagonists in video games. Her role as a strong, independent, and capable character helped break gender stereotypes. She has become a cultural icon, transcending video games to appear in movies, comics, and merchandise. Angelina Jolie became a Hollywood Superstar by portraying Lara in the highest-grossing action movie of its time with a female action star, cementing her status in popular culture. I can hardly wait for the announced new series on Amazon Prime. Lara's distinctive look, characterized by her athletic build, signature braid, and dual pistols, has become instantly recognizable, and in the truest sense of the word: legendary The Tomb Raider series has influenced the development of action-adventure games with respect to gameplay mechanics and narrative styles. It has paved the way for so many other games we love today, continually reinventing itself to remain relevant and engaging. With her intelligence, bravery, and resourcefulness Lara Croft is a true role model and inspiration, so you can imagine, how proud and happy I am seeing her now come to Dead By Daylight. Swept into the fog and faced with one of her darkest adventures yet, Lara’s survivalist spirit will be pushed to the extreme. Instead of seeking artifacts in long lost tombs, she must now rely on a group of fellow survivors, clinging desperately to a common goal, no matter hopeless things may seem. A big big thank you to our great partners at Crystal Dynamics, to Keith Mutzman and the whole Tomb Raider team, and Kudos once again to the #DeadByDaylight team at Behaviour Interactive. As they say: "If adventure has a name, it must be Lara Croft." - So, go play and have a fantastic adventure in the Fog.

I'm happy to spread the news that the #DeadByDaylight universe has been enriched by a wonderful new game and you can get it now for free.

Learn to use your new abilities and work together as you run, jump, and shoot your way through swarms of enemies, collecting Bloodpoints, repairing Generators, and unlocking exit doors in this chaotic game from the world of Dead by Daylight.

A year or so ago a video caused a stir on the Internet. A lone knight navigating through an apocalyptic medieval landscape, scavenging for resources and materials, tensely observing the surroundings for lurking threats. Then he is attacked , and the most intense and fierce medieval melee combat breaks out you have ever seen in a game. Jaws on the floor: https://lnkd.in/d__2FSXa Rarely has a game trailer triggered more anticipation than the five-minute gameplay reveal for Blight: Survival™ - a medieval action-horror co-op survival game for up to four players in which players will compete against monsters and men in a visceral fight to destroy the source of the Blight, a deadly affliction that plagues the land.

Yesterday, Der Deutsche Computerspielpreis | Der DCP took place in Munich, where the German games industry honors its best games and studios. For me, the event is always a wonderful opportunity to meet friends and acquaintances from the industry and talk about the state of play in Germany, or to pose in robot pictures with Zoran Roso Congratulations to Michael Schade and his ROCKFISH Games GmbH team for winning Best German Game for #Everspace2 and as a horror fan I am of course excited about Lukas D. and his Hekate GmbH team winning three awards for their debut game #AdInfinitum. Congrats to all winners, and nominees.  

The first time I saw #Slipknot live was at #Ozzfest 2001 in Milton Keynes – that was the year the band took off globally and their Iowa Album reached #3 on the US Billboard and #1 in the UK. I was blown away, the show was phenomenal and the band spread fear and terror in front of and behind the stage. Nothing I had ever seen before at a concert. Since then #Slipknot have become iconic, for their music but beyond that for their blend of aggression, melody and theatricality, leaving a lasting impression on the landscape of heavy metal music as well as popular culture. If you ask me, It was only a matter of time before the world's most terrifying band and the world's scariest game came together. A match made in hell. Behaviour Interactive’s #DeadbyDaylight and legendary band #Slipknot have teamed up to bring their iconic masks to #DeadbyDaylight with 8 unique Cosmetics for some of our deadliest Killers. Inspired by the band’s recent looks, The Slipknot Collection features masks for The Wraith, The Deathslinger, The Doctor, The Clown, The Hillbilly, The Blight, The Trapper, and a masked full Outfit for The Legion (Frank). Congrats to the DbD team for another incredible partnership. See the Slipknot collection trailer here: https://lnkd.in/dREYHV32
