Upcoming Horror Games

Religious iconography, body-horror aesthetics, and close-quarters first-person combat can create a uniquely intimate kind of fear -- where you're forced to stare at the nightmare while fighting for space to breathe.

It blends 'cartoon' visuals with genuinely nasty menace: industrial prison corridors, mangled experiments, and predators that hunt you through tight spaces. Melee combat raises the stress-getting close is risky-and the ink-world aesthetic makes everything feel sticky, claustrophobic, and wrong.

Extraction games already have built-in dread-everything you've looted can vanish in seconds. The Bornless stacks that anxiety with occult rituals, demons, and the unpredictability of other players. Horror isn't a scripted moment here; it's the constant fear of being hunted by something smarter than you.

The Sinking City 2 is a third-person Lovecraftian survival horror game set in a twisted 1920s version of the United States, centered on the flooded city of Arkham. Explore drowned streets and crumbling interiors, scavenge what you can, and fight eldritch threats that warp both body and mind. It shifts the series toward more direct survival horror while keeping its cosmic dread roots.

Directive 8020 is a cinematic sci-fi survival horror game in The Dark Pictures universe, set aboard a colony ship stranded far from Earth. With meaningful choices and branching outcomes, you'll guide the crew through paranoia, sabotage, and a deadly alien organism that can imitate its prey. It blends narrative-driven horror with survival gameplay and high-stakes decision-making.

Holstin is a psychological survival horror game set in late 1992, in an isolated Polish town consumed by a creeping, unnatural presence. Investigate what happened to your friend as you explore decaying streets, interrogate locals, solve puzzles, and fight grotesque manifestations. With a retro presentation and a heavy emphasis on atmosphere, it blends classic survival horror DNA with unnerving modern horror themes.
