New Trailer for ‘Hotel Barcelona’ Confirms Release Date; Soundtrack to Get Physical and Digital Release [Watch]

Just to add an exclamation point on Suda51 and Swery65’s slasher roguelite Hotel Barcelona arriving next month, CULT Games and developer White Owls Inc released a brand-new trailer during last week’s Xbox @ gamescom broadcast confirming its September 26 release date. Not only that, but the roguelite’s soundtrack, featuring music from the legendary TECHNOuchi (Dark Souls, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake), will be getting digital and physical releases.

Part action, part roguelite, all fever dream. Players will wake up in a twisted hotel taken over by serial killers and become Justine, a fresh-faced federal marshal with a primeval monster possessing her brain. With trippy anime-style visuals designed by the artists behind genre-defying Japanese hits like Chainsaw Man, Persona, and Final Fantasy VII Remake, try to escape this luxury getaway turned psychedelic nightmare and defeat the hotel’s bloodthirsty new management – tough as nails brutes, psychopaths, and criminals from all over America. Suffice to say, you won’t be alive by checkout.

Lucky for you, in this re-invented roguelite, death isn’t the end – it’s just the start. Exact vengeance on gnarly opponents with the Slasher Phantoms, an army of spirits who mimic your actions from previous runs. Build out an arsenal to die for as you trade your experiences throughout the hotel for game-changing upgrades and almost 100 lethal weapons to unlock. All set? Now it’s time for a killing spree! Keep up the carnage without breaking a sweat and be rewarded with the full force of Dr. Carnival, the ancient evil festering in your mind. Just don’t let that power go to your head…

Meanwhile, the soundtrack for Hotel Barcelona, including the song “No Way Out”, is coming to digital and physical. Featuring all-original music by the legendary Yuji “TECHNOuchi” Takenouchi (Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake), among other artists, will arrive courtesy of Kid Katana Records. No word yet on a release date for the soundtrack.

Hotel Barcelona arrives for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.
