New Difficulty Update Coming Soon For ‘Vampyr’

Later this summer, fans of the blood-sucking RPG, “Vampyr” will see a new update to the game, a difficulty setting.

The team over at 11 bit studios, the makers of the critically acclaimed survival game This War of Mine, will be releasing another thought-provoking “actions have consequences” style game, Frostpunk where players take on the role of a ruler known as the “Captain” who is leading survivors to build a self-sustaining city while making some hard decisions.
