The full title of the installment was They Hunger: Lost Souls, replacing the rumored temporary name They Hunger: Source. A They Hunger game using the Source engine was under development for a time, but has since been canceled. Drawing some comparisons to vaporware titles, Planet Half-Life announced (as a joke) on Apthat They Hunger: Lost Souls had again been redesigned and was set for release as a Nintendo DS game.
Sparse updates have been published over the years at the company's official website and in a few specialized game magazines, and the final product is expected to be released via Steam. Apart from a detailed plotline and a few developers' screenshots however, little information has been released about the game since 2005. Based on the popular survival horror series, They Hunger which Black Widow Software had created in 2000 and released as a bonus with copies of PC Gamer magazine, They Hunger: Lost Souls is being developed using the Source engine and will feature a plotline revolving around a zombie outbreak in North-Eastern Europe in the 1960s. At this time, the company revealed it had been secretly developing for almost a year its first commercial game They Hunger: Lost Souls, based on the Half-Life 2 Source engine. In October 2005, the company declared it was not possible anymore to produce full-fledged single player mods working on low budget promotional projects within reduced development cycles, because of the higher level of detail required for modern 3D engines. They Hunger in particular generated extensive player discussion and was considered an example of good game play within the realm of Half-Life mods.
Notable releases included the Half Life spin-off, USS Darkstar (produced for PC Gamer), and the They Hunger series (produced for PC Gamer). Founded in 1997 to produce contractual mods for state of the art 3D game engines, Black Widow Games would release 14 games between their first mod, Soldier Of Fortune (created for Rysher Entertainment), and 2003.
