Back 4 Blood style horror FPS announces launch, and it's very soon

There's always room for another multiplayer horror FPS. Though classics like Left 4 Dead 2 and Killing Floor 2 have managed to stay fairly active many years after they first came out, new entries to the blood soaked genre are always launching. The next one lurching toward us over the horizon is Sker Ritual, an action focused, Back 4 Blood reminiscent spin-off of indie horror game Maid of Sker - and its creators have just announced it's leaving Steam Early Access and coming out in its final form very soon.
