Los Angeles, USA - September 26, 2024 — Horror fans won’t have to wait much longer for their date with dismemberment. Games From The Abyss and publisher DreadXP are excited to announce that The Lacerator, the outrageous grindhouse-inspired survival horror, is launching on Steam on October 9th, 2025. To mark the occasion, the teams are debuting a brand new trailer, offering a fresh look at the gore, the laughs, and the limb-losing mayhem that awaits in the unexpected fight for escape.

The Lacerator blends the tense survival horror of retro classics with the over-the-top chaos and humor of an 80s slasher flick. Players must explore, fight, and puzzle their way out of the hellish lair of the sadistic killer known only as The Lacerator. Every decision matters, especially after the game’s signature mechanic comes into play: losing just about any limb in your body. Lose an arm, leg, or… other appendage, and your options change dramatically, sometimes limiting what you can do, but also opening up new paths and possibilities, branching the narrative into gruesome outcomes. 

Max, a famous porn actor and the best to ever do it, is the star of the show. During the latest recording session with his crew, things get really hard when everyone is attacked and abducted by THE LACERATOR. Now inside a filthy hideout, Max must do whatever it takes to escape alive and in one piece… But that likely won’t happen, as the psycho killer loves to LACERATE his victims! What part of your body will be cut this time? Who knows? The LACERATOR does. There are multiple main escape routes, but depending on your remaining limbs, you lose access to some of these paths. Each of these presents a different narrative branch that will provide answers not available in the others. Do you dare go back and put the big picture together?

October’s full release brings with it all the updated content from the game’s demo and a lot more, including new endings, characters, items, and weapons. The Lacerator launches on October 9th and will be available in English and Brazilian Portuguese.
