He's coming to get you, Sker Islanders.



The Skerville Slasher is on the rampage and has claimed yet another victim. This brand new, gore-filled DLC will be releasing this month and will contain not only this head-splitting mask but other cosmetic goodies to add to your Sker runs this Summer!

Thank you to Ballman274 for this suggestion, we had so much fun making this a reality! What will we do next...? If you have a DLC suggestion, leave a comment below and who knows, maybe you'll see it come to life in the future.
