Now thatHelldivers 2andPalworldare already becoming this year’s gaming phenomenon, they’ve got a spooky rival just out of the shadows. Landfall Studio’s new gameContent Warningcertainly has something that may help the players go viral—maybe not in real life, but definitely in the game. Following its release, the game was free to download for the first 24 hours on the video game distribution service Steam.
It features 2-4 players in co-op mode to play alongside friends who’ll be on the lookout for spooky things, similar to those vloggers seeking adventure in abandoned buildings. It’s a horror game, but players won’t have to worry about jump scares because of its looks. Players are already loving it, provided the social media posts hover around the internet.

It has been a day, but the game has already surpassed 100K players playing it according to the latest social media post on X (formerly Twitter).

Players are already seen posting videos of their in-game characters running all over the place in the game’s environment. It seems hard to get at the odds about the game when it has already received so much love from the community that is growing as fast as rabbits.

What’s interesting is that players may get to learn a thing or two about digital marketing too as users will be dealing with the in-game ad revenue generated by the video. Every run goes on for three days and enough views on a video will allow the players to live a life of fame in the game.
It Won’t be Surprising if it Enters the Game of The Year Debate
Speculating the game to become the Game of the Year wouldn’t be pertinent at this point, but it sure does hold potential to enter the list. So far, bothHelldivers 2andPalworld,are leading the race to become the best. While the former has sold nearly 8 million copies globally, the latter has sold around 25 million.
However, these two aren’t the only ones paving a path to the top. Other games in the race includeAlan Wake 2,Spider-Man 2,Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and more.Baldur’s Gate 3has already received the GoTY title at the Game Developers Choice Awards.
