Paperhead
The release window for Paperhead is set up with the prologue of Paperhead: Episode 0 on the way next month
If you have ever wanted to make cardboard bleed, then you might want to get ready for Paperhead to hop into Early Access out there. This would be the title that the aptly named Paperhead te4m and HypeTrain Digital are working on that will give us all of that fun cardboard carnage out there on the PC in 2025. Yes, that is how long we are going to have to wait for the Early Access to start up. Thankfully, if you are not willing to wait that long, there will be an Episode 0 prologue to the game that you will be able to experience this coming November. There is still no specific date for that as of this writing, but you can Wishlist it and be sure to get notified of all of those changes.
Now that we have a bit more of the 'when' for Paperhead, let us dig into the 'what' this title is for those who are just learning about it right now. It is a new fast-paced shooter of a title where we will be heading out into a cardboard world where all manner of horrors have come to life. Armed with our trusty shotgun, we are going to have to help all of these things end with all of their living as well as use some other tools to navigate all of the other dark places in the world of Paperhead. More or less, a fun FPS with a nifty little twist on the style of things that does not lead to just more zombies or demons. Have a gander at it all a little lower down and see if you will be jumping into the prologue when that does finally land out there.
Paperhead: Episode 0 — Release Window
Paperhead will be available in Early Access in 2025, and the free prologue will be available in November 2024 on Steam.

In Episode 0, you wake up in a prison cell. A strange voice calls to you from the depths of dark corridors covered in runic symbols and blood. Reload your trusty shotgun and find out

Have you heard about Paperhead before now or was this a weird little thing to learn about and maybe dive into? Will we get a better reason behind why this cardboard is bleeding or will we get to make that up in our heads as we shoot it all? How deep into 2025 do you think we are going to have to go for this one to land out there and could it be sooner than we might be thinking? Take some shots down in the comment section to discuss all of that and everything else that we have coming down the line. We have Paperhead on the radar now, so expect us to update you all as soon as we get fun new things to drop out there. It does look like a fun twist on a tired model.
