00:00Today I've gathered 25 of the most terrifying, dark and atmospheric upcoming horror games.
00:05And trust me, this is only the beginning.
00:08Get comfortable, we're diving into the darkness.
00:21Krathos Deep is shaping up as a bleak, Lovecraft-soaked horror experience set beneath the Arctic ice,
00:26where light dies quickly and the water feels older than humanity.
00:30You take control of a small submarine and push deeper into the freezing black using a drone
00:35to slip through wrecks, sunken stations and narrow metallic corridors abandoned by researchers
00:40who clearly met something terrifying down there.
00:43Every dive reveals more about a lost science team and the unexplained catastrophe that swallowed
00:48their facility somewhere in a remote, forbidden underwater zone.
00:52The whole atmosphere hits like Subnautica colliding with Soma far below the ocean floor.
00:58Cosmic dread, pressure-crushed silence, and the constant sense that something massive and
01:03ancient is just out of view.
01:11Drowned Lake recently entered public play testing on PC, and it brings a very grounded
01:19kind of horror rooted in Brazilian folklore.
01:23You follow three different characters, each drawn to the same mysterious lake after a disappearance.
01:28A journalist digging for truth, a first responder searching for answers, and a fisherman who knows
01:33these waters better than anyone.
01:35Their perspectives weave together into a story that mixes documentary-style tension with survival
01:40elements, found-footage vibes, and psychological dread.
01:44You navigate the lake by boat, collect evidence, solve environmental puzzles, and make choices
01:49that shape how the nightmare unfolds.
01:51It's eerie, humid, and steeped in myth, a place where every ripple on the water feels like
01:56a warning.
02:11Subliminal is a psychological horror game running on Unreal Engine 5 that taps deeply into liminal
02:17space unease and that backroom-style feeling of being trapped in a memory that isn't yours.
02:22You wander through massive, eerily empty environments, abandoned water parks, kids' play areas, endless
02:28carpeted corridors, and strange, looping spaces that shift as you move.
02:33Light and shadow become your tools and your enemies.
02:36Puzzles revolve around manipulating illumination so that doors appear or vanish.
02:41Walls reshape themselves and entire rooms rearrange when you're not looking directly at them.
02:46Nothing feels stable, nothing feels safe.
02:49And the more you push forward, the more the world behaves like a distorted dream that's
02:53trying to fold in on itself.
02:56The more you push back into your past, and relive some of your most treasured and sacred core
03:10memories.
03:15Hellraiser Revival pulls you straight into Clive Barker's brutal, seductive nightmare.
03:21Developed by Saber Interactive, it's a first-person survival horror experience centered on Aiden,
03:26whose girlfriend vanishes after solving the infamous puzzle box, the Genesis Configuration.
03:31To find her, you willingly step into a dimension shaped by pain, ritual, and monstrous beauty.
03:37You'll confront cultists, twisted demons, and of course the Cenobites, while using a mix
03:41of earthly weapons and supernatural powers tied to the puzzle box itself.
03:46The whole game aims to be a faithful extension of Barker's vision, not just gore and shock,
03:51but that unsettling fusion of fear and temptation the franchise is known for.
03:56Every corridor feels like a test, every encounter a negotiation between suffering and revelation.
04:01Townfall takes Silent Hill in a bold new direction, smaller, stranger, and fully focused on psychological chills over combat.
04:25Instead of weapons and inventory management, the experience leans into ghost story tension, told through short, stand-alone episodic chapters.
04:32You explore deserted coastal environments, abandoned buildings, and an ominous beach where something feels fundamentally wrong.
04:39The idea resembles a horror anthology, with each chapter playing like its own haunting short film,
04:44while still feeding into a larger mystery surrounding the town.
04:47It's atmospheric, moody, and intentionally slower, trading action for unease and moments that get under your skin,
04:53rather than chase you with monsters.
04:55The approach might divide longtime fans, but for players who crave pure tension, intimate scares, and ghost story energy,
05:02Townfall could become something special.
05:05But for you, I think it's more than that.
05:09I don't want to be anywhere near you.
05:12Will you figure that out?
05:14Valor Mortis comes from the creators of Ghostrunner,
05:17and it instantly sets a grim, alternate history tone soaked in horror and violence.
05:22You play as a resurrected soldier from Napoleon's army,
05:25dragged back into a plague-ravaged world where death is never final and corruption spreads like a living disease.
05:31This isn't a generic fantasy battlefield.
05:34It's a nightmare stitched together from body horror, twisted conspiracies, and grotesque monstrosities
05:39that stalk ruined towns and decaying landscapes.
05:42Combat is brutal and deliberate.
05:44First-person melee, ranged weapons, and special supernatural techniques known as transmutations,
05:49all layered on top of a souls-like structure that demands precision, timing, and careful exploration.
05:55Levels hint at Metroidvania design, pushing you to learn the world's geography as much as it's dangerous.
06:00Phantom Line drops you into a post-nuclear Europe where the paranormal doesn't just haunt the world, it breaks it.
06:07You operate as part of a special unit tasked with investigating and containing supernatural anomalies,
06:13but the twist is that you're not quite alive yourself.
06:15You inhabit H.U.S.K. bodies, artificially resurrected shells sent into contaminated zones where reality warps, time fractures, and monstrous anomalies roam freely.
06:20The game leans hard into co-op, allowing you and up to three friends to push through dangerous open environments,
06:27improvised tactics, and survive unpredictable distortions that can change the battlefield in an instant.
06:34The world is bleak, and the world is bleak.
06:36The world is bleak.
06:37The world is bleak.
06:38The world is bleak.
06:39The world is bleak.
06:40The world is bleak.
06:41You can't stay on the lesson.
06:42You can't be trodden.
06:43You've failed.
06:44You've failed.
06:45You've missed for this meeting.
06:46I'm pretty sure it's not.
06:47I'm happy to do that.
06:48There isn't that far enough to go to play up.
06:49I'm pretty crazy here.
06:50I'm happy to do that.
06:51I'm happy to do that.
06:56I'm happy to do that.
06:57unstable, and constantly threatening to swallow you.
07:00A major playtest is scheduled for March 5th, 2026,
07:04expanding the playable regions and showcasing warped spaces
07:07like the Mortfield Training Facility.
07:10The world is not waiting for you. You still need to reach the facility.
07:20The organization is counting on you.
07:24The animal takes the charming, cute nightmare aesthetic of its predecessors
07:28and plunges it into something far darker.
07:31You control two siblings, a brother and sister,
07:34who find themselves trapped in a horrifying, corrupted version of their home
07:38while trying to rescue their missing friends.
07:40The world shifts between swampy islands, twisted forests and decaying villages,
07:45each filled with grotesque creatures and eerie environmental puzzles.
07:49The gameplay blends cinematic platforming, stealth and survival horror tension,
07:54with exploration taking place on foot and by boat
07:57as you move through increasingly disturbing environments.
08:00You can play solo with the second sibling controlled by AI or in co-op,
08:05the shared camera forces both players into a tight, tense view
08:08that amplifies the feeling of dread.
08:24Liminal Point channels the spirit of classic survival horror,
08:27but wraps it in the power of Unreal Engine 5 and a modern, isometric perspective.
08:32You step into the role of Lyra, a former rock star drawn back to a fog-covered island
08:36after receiving a chilling voicemail from her missing bandmate.
08:39What begins as a search quickly becomes a descent into a fractured world of ruined mansions,
08:44abandoned hospitals, grimy sewers and reality warping spaces filled with disturbing creatures and cryptic clues.
08:51Resource management is tight, exploration is tense,
08:54and every encounter feels like a battle against your own nerves as much as the horrors crawling through the dark.
08:59The atmosphere leans on creeping dread, twisted environments,
09:03and a story that slowly unravels your understanding of what's real.
09:06It's classic survival horror at its core, but sharper, moodier, and layered with modern psychological twists.
09:12Whispers in the Fog is a first-person psychological horror set in a world drowned in rain, mist, and forgotten memories.
09:35You wake up alone in a forest swallowed by thick fog, armed with nothing but a flashlight and a growing sense that something is watching from just beyond the tree line.
09:44As you navigate haunted woods, abandoned villages, empty cabins, tunnels, and cemeteries, the game focuses entirely on atmosphere over combat.
09:53There are no weapons here. Survival relies on observation, environmental puzzles, and the courage to move toward the whispers instead of running from them.
10:01Shadows glide at the edge of visibility, strange noises echo in the distance, and every structure you explore feels like it's holding its breath.
10:08The Silent Hill remake is finally in full production, and it's shaping up to be a massive revival of the original legend.
10:26Developed by Bloober Team, the same studio rebuilding Silent Hill 2, this remake aims to reimagine the very first game with the kind of modern fidelity that can finally match its psychological depth.
10:47The project is still shrouded in mystery. No confirmed release date, no confirmed platforms, though early chatter points toward PS5 and PC.
10:56What we do know is that the team is rebuilding everything from the ground up, aiming to reinterpret the fog-drenched town.
11:02Where the forest ends is a gritty top-down horror shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by the dead.
11:16From the very first moment, it hits you with a bleak atmosphere, an isometric perspective, a rotting landscape, and a constant fight for survival against hordes of zombies that behave in wildly different ways.
11:28Combat is fast, brutal, and unforgiving, offering a mix of firearms and melee weapons that force you to adapt to every encounter.
11:35The world feels like it's collapsing around you, abandoned structures, broken streets, and a decaying society where every shot risks drawing more undead into the fray.
11:44The remake of Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly arrives on March 12, 2026, and it promises to bring one of Japan's most beloved horror classics back to life with modern detail and emotion.
12:11Built for PC, PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2, it completely rebuilds the original 2003 game.
12:18Visuals, audio, animations, controls, everything has been reworked to deliver a contemporary but faithful experience.
12:25The iconic camera obscura returns as the heart of the gameplay, but now expanded with new focus.
12:31Zoom and filter mechanics that make each encounter with a spirit feel more strategic, more tense, and more cinematic.
12:37Alongside the ghosts, emotional tension plays a bigger role.
12:40The two sisters can now hold hands in moments of fear, creating a bond that affects both the story and gameplay.
12:47Menace is a hard-edged, turn-based tactical RPG from Overhype Studios, launching in early access on February 5, 2026.
13:06Set in a bleak sci-fi future, you command a strike force of marines, mercenaries, and rough-edged misfits operating from a massive strike cruiser as you respond to distress signals across distant planets.
13:17Every mission feels like a desperate plea for help, and every decision you make carries consequences.
13:23Infantry squads, tanks, and towering mechs form your arsenal, but survival depends just as much on careful planning, resource management, and the willingness to make brutal choices.
13:33Soldiers can die permanently, missions can go wrong fast, and the universe doesn't forgive mistakes.
13:39Instead of power fantasy, Menace delivers tension, grit, and a sense of commanding a fragile lifeline in a collapsing world.
14:03Shark Dentist is exactly as bizarre and terrifying as it sounds, a horror roguelike where your job, quite literally, is to treat the teeth of giant predators in a dark, claustrophobic clinic.
14:16You stand inches away from a creature that could snap you in half, relying on drills, mirrors, anesthetics, and surgical tools while trying to keep its stress and vitals under control.
14:25One mistake, one slip, and the shark lunges.
14:29The tension is constant, sharp, and perversely funny in a way only true horror absurdity can be.
14:34Each session mixes resource management, precise timing, and a constant risk-reward dance that keeps you frozen between fear and focus.
14:42The game is still marked as coming soon, with playtests expected between late 2025 and early 2026.
15:03D is Hideo Kojima stepping fully into psychological horror territory, backed by Xbox Game Studios and running on Unreal Engine 5.
15:11The project brings together Kojima's surreal storytelling with the distinct horror sensibilities of filmmaker Jordan Peele, creating a collaboration that already feels unsettling in the best possible way.
15:22The early teaser footage shows dim corridors, uncanny faces, and a mood thick enough to choke on.
15:28The theme of a fear threshold seems central, not just scaring the player, but exploring how fear itself can unravel a person.
15:35Development has been rocky, with long pauses caused by production issues and industry-wide interruptions, but the project is reportedly back on track as of 2026.
15:58The florist is shaping up to be one of the most unique survival horror concepts in development, crafted by a New Zealand studio with a flare for unsettling beauty.
16:13You play as a florist delivering a bouquet to a quiet lakeside town called Joy Cliff, but the moment you arrive, something goes terribly wrong.
16:21A mysterious floral plague bursts into life, twisting plants into predatory forms and transforming the entire town into a grotesque living garden.
16:30Flowers bloom where they shouldn't, vines crawl across buildings, and botanical monstrosities stalk the streets.
16:36With handcrafted environments, growing corruption, and an uncanny contrast between natural beauty and horror, the game leans heavily into a surreal, organic nightmare.
16:46Sublustrum Remake breathes new life into the cult 2008 psychological adventure, rebuilding it entirely in 3D for a 2026 release.
17:06It pulls you into a dreamlike, surreal investigation as a writer searching for his missing scientist brother, but the path leads through fractured memories,
17:14liminal dream spaces, and distorted visions where sound and subconscious blend together.
17:19The environments mix Victorian melancholy, retro industrial motifs, and early 20th century steampunk influences,
17:26all wrapped in vintage film grain aesthetics that give everything a haunting, old world feel.
17:31This isn't a fast-paced horror game, it's slow, atmospheric, and rooted in exploration.
17:37Sound-driven puzzles, shifting perceptions, and subtle psychological tension replace action,
17:42while the world morphs around you like a fading memory refusing to stay still.
17:47Aphelion is a cinematic sci-fi action adventure set on the frozen alien planet of Persephone, arriving in 2026.
18:06You play as Ariane, an astronaut whose ship crashes into an unforgiving world of ice, shifting terrain and eerie phenomena.
18:23With her partner Thomas missing somewhere across the hostile landscape,
18:27Ariane must navigate treacherous cliffs, deep chasms, and constantly changing weather conditions using grappling tools, climbing gear, and limited oxygen.
18:36The world isn't empty. Strange noises echo through frozen valleys, shadows flicker behind sheets of ice,
18:42and the planet itself seems to react to your presence.
18:45The atmosphere leans heavily into isolation and quiet tension, like a slow-burn sci-fi thriller where every ridge hides unknown threats.
18:53In Furious throws you straight into a vision of hell that feels ancient, symbolic, and deeply personal.
19:19This first-person, roguelike deck builder pulls its inspiration from the divine comedy and lovecraft,
19:25then twists both into a nightmare you must descend through one layer at a time.
19:29Each region of hell represents a sin, limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery,
19:37each ruled by its own monstrous presence and dripping with atmosphere.
19:41Instead of guns, your abilities come from a deck built around major arcana tarot cards, giving every encounter a sense of occult ritual.
19:48You manage sanity, resources, and light itself, using lanterns to push back the darkness while navigating shifting corridors, traps, and eldritch creatures that stalk you through the gloom.
19:58The Mound Omen of Cthulhu is a first-person horror-action adventure set deep within a cursed jungle, where reality breaks under the weight of cosmic forces.
20:12Up to four players take the roles of explorers chasing treasure, but the deeper they go, the more the world twists into something alien.
20:30Vines writhe on their own, ancient ruins pulse like they're alive, and creatures that shouldn't exist lurch out of the dark.
20:39Sanity becomes just as important as firepower.
20:42Perception warps, hallucinations bleed into the real world, and paranoia spreads through the group as the jungle tries to break them apart.
20:50Underground caverns lead to impossible chambers carved by entities older than humanity, and every step reveals more of the cosmic horror lurking beneath the soil.
21:00Goal!
21:21Crysalt Theatre of Idols drops you onto the cursed island of Tormentosa,
21:25a twisted, nightmarish vision of Spain where religious iconography has rotted into monstrous shapes.
21:31You play as Gabriel, a soldier armed with a bizarre ability.
21:34You can weaponize your own blood.
21:36Every drop becomes a lifeline or a blade,
21:38turning combat into a brutal balance between survival and sacrifice.
21:42The island is a maze of haunted churches, abandoned villages,
21:46and grotesque statues that seem to breathe when you're not looking.
21:49The atmosphere is thick with ritualistic dread,
21:51blending folklore, mythology, and body horror into one disturbing tapestry.
21:56The game is still marked as coming soon,
21:58but development is active and backed by Blumhouse Games,
22:01promising a horror adventure where faith, fear, and violence collide.
22:19Resident Evil Requiem pushes the series back into pure survival horror
22:30and drops players into a devastated raccoon city like never before.
22:34Launching February 27, 2026 for PS5, Xbox, and PC,
22:39the game follows a brand new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft,
22:42as she navigates the ruins left behind by decades of bioterror nightmares.
22:47The RE engine powers everything,
22:49from the suffocating atmosphere to the grotesque mutations lurking in the shadows,
22:53creating a world that feels hostile, rotting, and full of secrets.
22:57Requiem leans into the tension the franchise was built on.
23:00Limited resources, tight spaces, terrifying enemies,
23:04and a city that feels like it's decaying around you.
23:07It's a fresh story with new terror,
23:09but anchored in the iconic DNA of Resident Evil's darkest roots.
23:34INFLATION
