Despite only releasing a few days ago, cooperative multiplayer horror game Content Warning has a new update. The development team at Landfall added several new Content Warning features that players will find useful as they attempt to record spooky occurrences as a team.

Detailed in a Content Warning Steam page update and promoted via Landfall's official Twitter account, the update adds four new tools to the growing selection of Content Warning items: The Reporter Mic, the Sound Player, the Party Popper, and a projector located in the garden area.

The Party Poppers add some festive cheer to videos, as well, and the garden projector can be used to set up backdrops.
