Forest Hills: The Last Year is the premier horror asymmetrical born from the depths of horror and madness! Craft deadly weapons and fight back against deadly slashers and monstrous horrors as one of the Displaced on a team of 5, or hunt down those Displaced in the Nightmare and devour their souls in a never-ending cycle of death and rebirth as one of the nightmarish Fiends.

Team up with four other Displaced players to survive a gauntlet of objectives which change depending on the map. Fiends ally with Cryptid minions that'll continuously stalk and hunt the other players, ticking down the clock until all is lost.

For these Displaced survivors, their last moments in the waking world was filled with confusion and fear. After being transported to a nightmarish copy of their hometown through a series of occult rituals unbeknownst to them, they soon find out that they're not alone, and that to escape they’ll have to work together against all manner of Fiends and Cryptids lurking in the shadows.

Originally scheduled to launch into Early Access for PC via Steam in June, developer Undaunted Games announce that Forest Hills: The Last Year  is launching its v1.0 on October 22nd on PC via Steam and launching additional content throughout 2025 and beyond.

Forest Hills will be launching with:

• Seven maps, including the maps from the original Last Year with updated lighting objects, bug-fixes, skybox & weather improvements (The Library, The Belltower, The Gym, The Sawmill, The Mine, The Forest, and The Cemetery).
• Six Fiends with new skins, emotes, and more (The Slasher, The Strangler, The Giant, The Spider, The Warlock, and The Dryad).
• Seven Displaced with new skins, emotes, and more (Sam, Nick, Troy, Chad, Raj, Amber, and Abigail).
• A brand new ability system for Fiends and a revamped Arcanum system.
• New dialogue for the Fiends & Displaced.
• New Music and SFX from our wonderful partners at Pixel Audio.

In addition to expanding content, Forest Hills: The Last Year is also expanding its creative team. Veteran comic book artist and professional wrestler Andy “Bob Anger” Belanger will work on the game’s artwork, and acclaimed writer of television and video games, and comics professional Frank Tieri will be working on the game’s narrative. Sean Schemmel, prolific voice actor and director, best known for his work on the DragonBall series, will serve as Voice-over Director.

Which Displaced will you pick? Choose from 7 of the Displaced members of Forest Hills, and assign them a Class to get special skills. The more you work well with your teammates, the better your chances of survival. And the more you survive, the more scrap you scavenge, which unlocks powerful makeshift weapons and gear to craft and take the fight to the Fiends.

Supernatural entities living in The Nightmare, the dreadful Fiends take the form of quintessential horror archetypes, and each have unique powers, weapons and play-styles. Decide whether to attack the Displaced head-on, or meticulously plan your attacks by setting up traps, preparing ambushes, and toying with your prey.

Regular content updates in the form of Chapters will bring new, terrifying Fiends and ever-more-dreadful areas inspired by different genres of horror, with more changing up the gameplay and making Forest Hills the ultimate multiplayer horror experience.

Forest Hills: The Last Year is coming to PC (Steam) on October 22, 2024.
