While it didn’t hit its August release window, PIGFACE is still very much on its way to Early Access. One week after a successful showing at PAX West, developer titolovesyou and DreadXP have announced a September 18 release on Steam.

“At long last, Early Access is just around the corner! It’s been a lot of work but I think you guys are really gonna like it,” says tito. PIGFACE is expected to remain in Early Access until it is content complete and polished, which the devteam estimates will to be “about a year.”

PIGFACE casts you as Exit, a terrible woman with a terrible past, who is about to pay the price. Covered in your own blood, you wake up in an empty warehouse with an explosive headache. A phone rings across the room, and the caller on the other end reveals that Exit has had a bomb implanted at the base of her skull. As a result, you’re now their gun-for-hire, with no choice but to cooperate.

Complete missions to earn money and upgrade your arsenal with new gear from the Black Market. Taking a cue from Hotline Miami, you will unlock a wide range of masks, each enhancing a different skillset to customize your gameplay. Charge in with a flurry of bullets, crack skulls with a rusty pipe, plant traps, or sneak around undetected— whatever you decide, just get the job done.
