Hello MADHOUSE community!
I'm still working on the next chapter update for the Story campaign, with a planned release in late May 2026. In the meantime, I plan to stick to this schedule of releasing content for Versus each month until that mode is complete, also coincident with late May 2026.
This month's update introduces a new character, Clyde, an eye guy from another dimension and the last of his kind. His special ability, Beam, can be used to fire rapid shots or it can be charged into a powerful, one-shot-kills death beam. His passive ability, All-Seeing lets him easily see hidden hazards like traps, mines, and caltrops at all times.
Also introduced is a new Versus stage: Bio Zone. This dimly-lit interior level is made of flesh, bone, and blood and features difficult terrain, eyes that track your movement, and doors that chomp down! Take a look at the video to see some local 4-player Team Deathmatch with Clyde, Butch, Jack, and Mr. E duking it out in the Bio Zone.
Have you played the Versus yet? If not, I am once again encouraging you to check it out, as Versus mode is the foundation of MADHOUSE. If you can't do local play on a couch with buds in real life, you can play this game with your friends via Steam Remote Play. Up to two players can share a keyboard, but if you're playing with 3 or 4 then everyone will need a gamepad. I'll work on customizing key bindings in the future and hopefully having keyboard support for 3rd and 4th players that don't have gamepads!
And Story mode lovers stay tuned... we're just a few more months away from the next exciting chapter!
