Painkiller: Overdose Announced

Dreamcatcher Interactive and JoWood Productions have just announced that they will be publishing Painkiller: Overdose, a follow-up to the high-energy FPS that had gamers battling through the forces of hell. The game originally started out as a community mod, but with JoWood and Dreamcatcher backing the Mindware team financially now, they’re able to convert it into a full retail game. Don’t let the fact that this game started out as a mod detract you though, as it will come packed with enough features to warrant the a retail price:

• A Prequel to the eventual Sequel bridges the storyline and ties up wandering ends.
• Overdose introduces a new character and storyline that examines the repercussions of Daniel defeating Lucifer in the original Painkiller!
• 16 NEW levels of fast-paced pain-killing action!
• 6 New demonic weapons grant the powers of a demi-god to souls awaiting damnation everywhere!
• Crafted and designed completely by Mindware Studios; long-time advocates and fans of the game.
• A reshuffled Tarot deck infuses Belial with new powers and devastating combinations.
• An innovative direction in the Painkiller universe!
• Over 40 demented and sickly-twisted monsters from Hell
• New End Bosses of colossal statures standing guard over Hell’s crumbling domain and the entrances to the other realms!
• A revitalized commitment to multiplayer introduces a series of stats tracking features and game server options intended to revamp the multiplayer experience.
• Multiplayer compatibility with original Painkiller multiplayer maps and game modes!
