After burning incredibly brightly for a short while, it feels like Content Warning's star might be dimming rather quickly now. One minute there were a million TikToks and streams about it, and the next... well, people seem to be moving on pretty fast. Faster than they did with the game's inspiration, Lethal Company at least.
Talking about Lethal Company, this week's featured flatscreen to VR mod for Content Warning has been created by the same talented modder who made the VR mod for Lethal Company, which we streamed a while back. DaXcess, as they're known in the modding community, has once again created a stunning (and best of all, free!) flat to VR mod for Content Warning that not only adds full 6DoF to the game but also proper motion controls too.
This means you can lean in and inspect absolutely every little detail of the games' chunky graphics, whilst also being able to hold and point the video camera (or any other tools) in any direction you want. It all feels very freeing in a way that flat gaming doesn't and being able to treat the game and its props in a way that you would if you were using them in real life is super immersive; as you'll see in this week's episode of VR Corner (above!).
Content Warning - the Lethal Company-style co-op horror game that tasks players with filming their friends doing scary things to become famous on SpöökTube, and which shot up in popularity following an April Fool's Day promotion - has just received its first big update.
This update adds in a new map for wannabe content creators to make their way around, as well as 13 new monsters. Yep, more weird and wonderful creatures are joining Content Warning's rather eclectic roster of foes.
In addition, the team has added some new unlockable items for your sky island, such as a trampoline and a swimming pool. There is also a hat shop that will allow you to bedeck your intrepid crew with accessories such as a halo.

Full Patch Notes for May 2 update
Alongside all the new content added in the Content Warning 1.10a update, there were also a handful of changes, improvements, and bug fixes. Due to the scope of the changes, the new update is not compatible with old save files, and they will be automatically deleted when you start the game. This means you'll have to start over from the beginning when playing the new update.
Here is the Content Warning 1.10a update patch notes:
Changes and Improvements
Changed level selection to random
General Monster Balancing
Various audio improvements
Slightly boosted player voice range
Reworked modding matchmaking
Optimized video network performance to get faster extractions in some cases
Bug Fixes
Fixed VSync not working after using the dive bell.
Fixed some sound issues including the sound echoing too much
Fixed issue where players would fall through the map when sleeping on the ceiling
Fixed issue where the camera would sometimes not go into the video extraction machine
Fixed issue where the game would end when you surface with only the broken camera
Fixed issue where the boom mic would extend your body’s hit-box
Fixed issue where the shock stick would only work once on monsters or team-mates
Fixed issue where holding an item when going up or down with the diving bell would cause issues picking up other items
Fixed issue where holding an exploding bomb would delete the player holding it
Fixed issue when the last player alive left you would not return to the surface
The lesson of Content Warning is that it's way more fun to be scared when your friends are filming it. The goofy (and surprisingly scary) game has just gotten its first major update, and now there's a bunch more stuff in the Old World to film and/or be terrified by. Plus: hats!
