News > Painkiller: Overdose becomes official DreamCatcher Interactive today announced that Painkiller: Overdose, a project that began its life as a grassroots mod to the company's Painkiller title, will be coming to Windows PCs. The game will make its worldwide launch this October.

DreamCatcher and JoWood are endorsing the project and are providing full financial and publisher support, so that the Mindware team can fully realize its unique vision.

"We are thrilled to be endorsing this project and look forward to working closely with Mindware Studios," said Albert Seidl, President and CEO for the JoWooD Group. "The excitement from Painkiller fans around the world is mounting and we will be happy to deliver what they've been waiting for!"

The list of game features from the press release is as follows:

• 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!

Look for more information on Painkiller: Overdose in the months ahead, as it seems rather unlikely that DreamCatcher Interactive or JoWood Productions will remain quiet about such an important project.
