In 2014, we looked at 5 upcoming survival horror games. Of those, 3 have been released, 1 was cancelled, and 1 is in limbo.
Now, let’s take a look at five more upcoming horror games.
5. Hollow
Hollow is due out on November 16 for the Switch and PC, and it takes place on an abandoned mining ship where something has gone terribly wrong. Check out the haunting trailer!
4. Allison Road
I didn’t have a PS4 in time to play P.T., which disappointed me almost as much as the cancellation of Silent Hills. Allison Road is a game trying to be the spiritual successor to P.T., with supernatural horror set within the main character’s house.
It definitely sounds creepy, so I’m looking forward to learning more about it. Allison Road has no announced release window yet.
3.Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game
While not as strictly survival horror as the other games on this list, Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game looks intriguing. Planned for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2018, it’s a horror RPG inspired by the 1981 Call of Cthulhu role-playing game.
It looks wonderfully atmospheric, and what can I say? When you mention H.P. Lovecraft, you get my attention.
2. Resident Evil 2 Remake
When an HD remake of Resident Evil 2 was finally announced, I celebrated.
Actually, I panicked. Resident Evil 2 is a fantastic survival horror game! What if they turned the remake into action? My worries were calmed when they assured fans they were looking at the HD remaster of the first game’s remake as an example.
Resident Evil 7 has also gotten positive feedback, although I haven’t played it yet to judge it as a survival horror game.
If they make a Resident Evil 2 remake that holds true to the spirit of the original, it should be an excellent game indeed.
1. Moons of Madness
I first heard about Moons of Madness back in August, and I was immediately interested. A psychological horror game set on Mars and inspired by Lovecraft? I’m in!
It looks creepy, weird, and potentially fantastic, and it aims to have both hard science and a true Lovecraftian essence. It also promises plenty of puzzles, always welcome in survival horror. Moons of Madness is planned for 2018 on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and it’s the horror game I’m looking forward to the most right now.
Conclusion
Hollow, Allison Road, Call of Cthulhu, the Resident Evil 2 Remake, and Moons of Madness are five upcoming horror games to look forward to. What horror games are you most excited for?
