Velan Studios' Midnight Murder Club will be taking hide-and-seek into some lethal places on the game's new early-access launch date, March 13. This first-person shooter places 1-6 players on equal ground by forcing them to explore Wormwood Manor in complete darkness except for their flashlights and the flicker of light when a gun is fired. But things are going to get even wilder with a new gameplay mode.

Within Midnight Murder Club's new Wildcards mode, the battle royale in the mansion is upended by cards that can rewrite the laws of reality around them. When players pick cards from their collection, they can given special abilities like super speed or the power to self-detonate upon death. Some of those powers will extend to the other players in the match as well. At the end of each battle, players are given new cards to experiment with as they embrace the chaos around them.

Similar to the feature recently revealed for Split Fiction, Midnight Murder Club offers a Guest Pass via the Guest Pass Edition. This allows additional players to join in even if they don't own a copy of the game themselves. As long as at least one person owns Midnight Murder Club, they can invite five other people to play the game for free.

Players can purchase the early-access game for $20 starting on March 13 on PS5 or PC via Steam, and the Guest Pass Edition will be available on day one for no additional cost.
