Content Warning Claimed by Over 6.2 Million Players at Launch
03 Apr 2024
Just yesterday, the co-op horror scene received a significant boost with the launch of Landfall's Content Warning. Initially available for free for a 24-hour period, the game has quickly made its mark, achieving a peak concurrent player count that soared above 200,000 on Steam. Remarkably, the game was claimed by over 6.2 million players at its launch.
Now a paid game, priced at $7.99, Content Warning has certainly captured the attention of the gaming community. Despite its success, the development team is actively working to address a number of technical issues that players have encountered. These problems range from complications with using the in-game voice functionality, difficulties in connecting to and hosting games, to issues with camera footage not being properly extracted or displayed. The team is optimistic about finding solutions to these challenges and aims to roll out fixes shortly, potentially by the next morning.
Content Warning, accessible to PC gamers, invites players on a thrilling journey to the Old World, armed with cameras to capture terrifying footage. Unlike Phasmophobia, where the aim is to identify the supernatural, Content Warning shifts the focus to achieving fame on the fictional platform SpookTube. Success is measured by the views players can generate, which in turn allows them to invest in superior equipment. This gear not only enhances their ability to survive but also supports their goal to amass significant earnings within a three-day period, drawing parallels to the gameplay mechanics of Lethal Company.
