概要
This expansive DLC chapter brings the terrifying villain Vecna (The First) and beloved survivors Dustin Henderson and Eleven into the Fog. It revitalizes the collaboration between Behaviour Interactive and Netflix, introducing complex spell-casting mechanics for the Killer and new team-oriented perks for Survivors within the nightmare realm of the Entity.
ストーリー
Henry Creel, also known as One and Vecna, has been pulled into the Entity's realm, bringing the twisted reality of the Upside Down with him. As 'The First,' he hunts down Survivors to expand his psychic dominion, while Dustin and Eleven must utilize their wits and psychic connections to repair generators and escape the nightmare that has followed them from Hawkins.
Gameplay
Building on the core 4v1 asymmetrical horror experience, this chapter introduces high-complexity Killer mechanics involving spell selection and map traversal. Vecna can switch between the real world and the Upside Down for rapid movement, launch Area of Effect (AoE) Vine Attacks, and inflict curses, while Survivors must balance objective repair with dodging spectral assaults and managing 'Worldbreaker' tokens.
