Though there is not much known about the title in terms of raw gameplay,the Lovecraftian world allows players to summon demons or fight head-to-head with each otherwhile finding new and powerful weapons along the way. In a place known as Farmouth Island, located in rural Massachusetts, the aim of the game is survival and coming out on top. It will be up to the dynamic duos to hunt down those who lurk beyond the trees and attempt to extract from the island before they get hunted down like wild dogs.

Our Take: The Duality Of It All In The Bornless
You Cannot Kill What You Did Not Create
Survival Horror games in particular hold a special place in my heart, as I am a fan of all things macabre and creepy. Slipknot is a band I grew up listening to, and seeing them within some very cool titles such as this is refreshing, as even after all these years fans still flock to hear them in all of their glory, even within video games.This is not the only title Slipknot can be heard in either,as in 2014 they were inSMITE, and they have been featured in bothGuitar HeroandRockband.They were also seen live in action during theFortnite Festivalevent.
WhileThe Bornlesshas been around since August 2023, there has not been a release window or date shared at the time of writing. Hopefully, more information will surface in the coming days or weeks to give fans of the horror title more of an idea of when they can dive into all the terrifying frightsThe Bornlesshas to offer.
