In late July, Trey Powell, Jason Bond, and New Blood Interactive suddenly reminded everyone about the first-person noir shooter Fallen Aces. The developers announced the release of the second episode, "Shadow of Death," and published a special trailer to mark the occasion.
The main character will once again face criminals and the police, ride a car and a minecart, and also eat donuts:
The creators of Fallen Aces understand that players might have forgotten the events of the first episode – they prepared a special video recap of past events: protagonist detective Mike Thain investigated the disappearance of Alexia Price, who was fighting crime, and found himself targeted by gangsters. Mike survives and teams up with Alexia's former comrade to find out who is killing members of his anti-crime squad.
Fallen Aces was released in Steam Early Access in the summer of 2024. The full version is expected to feature three complete episodes and a level editor. The game has received "overwhelmingly positive" reviews from players – after almost 7 thousand reviews, its rating is 97%.
