Drinkbox Studios is back with a new title called Blighted, a 3D Metroidvania
that promises to take the concept of generational memory to some bizarre and
compelling new places. It will have a solo or co-op story that sees players
fighting their way through a world full of monsters and secrets as they
attempt to control the blight that corrupts them. And maybe eat some brains.
The game was announced during the Summer Game Fest kickoff stream, and the
creators aim to have a playable demo available later this year.

The team describes Blighted as a "psychedelic western nightmare," which is
pretty much exactly what I love to see from Drinkbox Studios. This company is
probably best known for the excellent 2D platformers Guacamelee! and
Guacamelee! 2, but don't sleep on the surreal dungeon-crawler Severed either.
Drinkbox games have a powerful sense of place and clever action mechanics, so
I'm very curious to see how they'll bring those sensibilities into this
genre.
