Homicidal All-Stars renamed “Showgunners” with a confirmed May release date.
Artificer’s upcoming tactical turn-based game, Homicidal All-Stars, has undergone a name change and will now be known as Showgunners. The game’s publisher, Good Shepherd Entertainment, has also announced a new release date for May 2nd, 2023, and fans can wishlist the game on PC via GOG and Steam.
Name Change and Reasoning
The name Showgunners is a friendlier alternative to Homicidal All-Stars, which may have been too steeped in real-world issues. According to the game developers, the name change was made to better suit the gameplay and aesthetic of the game.
Gameplay
Showgunners is set in a world of televised bloody tournaments, which has been popularized in cult classic films such as The Running Man and Death Race 2000. The game combines various mechanics such as deadly puzzles, fame and sponsorships, an unpredictable show director, and even Twitch integration.
Twitch Integration
Twitch integration allows streamers and their fans to interact with the game and direct levels in the same way as the in-game show director. This feature is expected to be popular among players as it breaks the fourth wall and allows for a more immersive experience.
Exploration
Players will have the opportunity to explore, offering more world-building than what the premise traditionally allows. A cinematic trailer has been released to promote the game, but there is also a playable demo available on Steam for those who want to try the game before its release.
