Until Dawn dev's new nautical horror Man of Medan gets an August release date

Until Dawn developer Supermassive Games has revealed that Man of Medan, the first instalment in its Dark Pictures Anthology horror series, will be scaring up a storm on Xbox One, PS4, and PC on 30th August.

Based on everything we've seen so far, the Dark Pictures Anthology looks to build on the popcorn-munching cinematic thrills of Supermassive's enormously enjoyable interactive slasher horror Until Dawn - particularly in regard to its choice-driven branching narrative - with each new entry set to dabble in a different sub-genre of horror.

For the Man of Medan specifically, though, Supermassive is swapping creaking cabins in endless moonlit forests for a great big boat and a whole lot of water. As previously revealed, it follows a group of divers as they set out in search of rumoured WW2 shipwreck while on holiday. As a storm rolls in, however, the crew finds itself trapped aboard a seemingly abandoned ship, and forced to confront the secrets it's been harbouring all these years.
