Hotel Barcelona Launches on PlayStation This September

Sure, here you go:

—

So, get this, HOTEL BARCELONA—yeah, it’s like this wild trip for your PS5—right, dropping this September. Think fever dream starring SWERY and SUDA51. It’s gonna be insane. CULT Games and White Owls are behind this one, if that tells you anything. Or maybe it doesn’t. I dunno. You gotta check it out.

There’s this image with a ‘date of birth’ thingy because, y’know, they’ve gotta check we aren’t just a bunch of kids snooping around for something gory.

Okay, so there’s this hotel. Don’t ask me why it’s smack dab between Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Looks nice, sure, but… surprise! Total trap for like the creepiest killers in the U.S. of A.

You play as Justine. Not the local waitress, nope. She’s like a rookie federal marshal with, wait for it—a double brain housing a whacko doc named Carnival. Why? No clue, just go with it. So, Justine and her spooky brain-buddy need to, uh, deal with serial killers lurking around. Kill or be killed, that classic dilemma.

Features? Aw man, they’re promising some whacked-out 2.5D action—gotta be on your toes, tactical style. Not another lame side-scroller, I guess? Think 80s horror flicks. (Ah, nostalgia, I love it and don’t. Make up your mind, brain.)

Dying isn’t just falling down; it’s, like, strategic. You know, “Slasher Phantoms” rise from your failures. Kinda cool, kinda weird. They can help you or at least look busy while you figure out what you’re doing. Die and get strong—a motivational poster in gaming if I ever saw one.

And the blood—lots of it. Apparently, it beefs you up. See red, stay mad, hit hard. Skull Gauge goes bonkers, wham! Hello, Carnival Awakening! Suddenly you’re this powerful, unstoppable… something? Mental.

There’s seven—yes, seven—zones, each with a boss trying to end you. Classic horror vibes. Haunted houses, creepy labs—the works. Expect to die, adapt, repeat.

Oh and the brains behind this? SUDA51 and SWERY. Yeah, the legends behind “No More Heroes,” “Deadly Premonition,” etc. Makes for a surreal mix. It’s like watching this weird, gory dance-off—unforgettable, or it might haunt you, either way.

I guess the only thing left to do is grab some popcorn—or maybe not. Might lose your appetite with all the slashing and stuff. So… you in?
