Jungle Survival Sim Green Hell Releasing Next Month
The hyper-realistic survival sim Green Hell has announced it will be releasing on PC into Early Access late next month on August 29.
Green Hell drops you in a deadly jungle where you’ll need to manage three different kinds of hunger meters, fend off wildlife, and check your arms and legs for wounds and disease. Its Early Access announcement also says it will have “psychological thriller” elements as your character wakes up with no memory of why they are there.
You can watch the newly released Early Access trailer here:
Green Hell is single-player and will launch only on PC to start. For its Early Access launch, half of the final map will be available. While the focus will initially be on the survival mode, the beginnings of the story mode will also be playable.

Rick and Morty Creator Dan Harmon Issues Statement Over Offensive Video
Update: Harmon and Adult Swim have come forward with official statements regarding the offending video.
“At Adult Swim, we seek out and encourage creative freedom and look to push the envelope in many ways, particularly around comedy," said a spokesperson from Adult Swim in a statement to IGN. "The offensive content of Dan’s 2009 video that recently surfaced demonstrates poor judgement and does not reflect the type of content we seek out. Dan recognized his mistake at the time and has apologized. He understands there is no place for this type of content here at Adult Swim."
Harmon has issued a personal apology.
"In 2009, I made a “pilot” which strove to parody the series “Dexter” and only succeeded in offending," he said. "I quickly realized the content was way too distasteful and took the video down immediately. Nobody should ever have to see what you saw and for that, I sincerely apologize.”

Indie Publisher Surprise Attack Games Relaunches as Fellow Traveller
Australian independent games publisher Surprise Attack Games has today announced a new name and a new emphasis for the business. Rebranding as Fellow Traveller, the label will have “a new focus on funding, supporting and publishing unusual games, especially those with narrative at their core.”
Fellow Traveller also confirmed two new signings to the label alongside the relaunch: cyberpunk taxi-driving adventure Neo Cab (from Chance Agency) and alien ocean exploration game In Other Waters (by Jump Over the Age). Neo Cab, which casts players as one of the last remaining human taxi drivers in an almost entirely automated world, was spotlighted here on IGN last month as one of 10 great-looking games from E3 2018 which may have flown under your radar.
