A popular video game, Phasmophobia developed by Kinetic Games, is gearing up for a cinematic adaptation. This isn’t just another generic movie spin-off, as the production company behind it has a proven track record in horror to ensure a film that lives up to the game’s terrifying reputation.

If you haven’t heard about Phasmophobia yet, it’s a scary game centered around investigation, particularly designed for multiple players. The creators are consistently adding new seasonal content to the game.

Kinetic Games, the developer, will also contribute to the film-making process, aiming to maintain the film’s adherence to the original game.

Phasmophobia Might Be The Next Big Video Game Horror Hit

The film will be produced by Blumhouse, a well-known production company known for releasing high-quality horror films. Additionally, Atomic Monster, founded by horror director James Wan (The Conjuring, Insidious), and Kinetic Games, as previously mentioned, will also contribute to the production process.

Daniel Knight, director at Kinetic Games, expressed that this is a significant milestone for the entire Kinetic team, marking the beginning of something truly thrilling. When Phasmophobia first launched five years ago, we could hardly foresee its astounding success, and we’re deeply grateful to our extraordinary community for the profound influence it has exerted in the gaming world and beyond.

Collaborating with Blumhouse and Atomic Monster signifies a thrilling next step in our journey, and we’re eager to give you updates as the project unfolds further – Daniel Knight (as reported by Polygon)

In 2020, I became captivated by Phasmophobia, an exhilarating four-player online cooperative journey through psychological horror. As a team, we delve into eerie occurrences, meticulously collecting evidence to substantiate our findings. Of course, this game thrives on the anticipation of jump scares!

Ever since it came out, the game has continually been enhanced with various free content expansions, offering players fresh challenges, prizes, and activities to maintain an exciting gaming experience.

In addition to creating the popular Five Nights at Freddy’s movie version that hit theaters in 2023, Blumhouse Productions was also involved. Despite mixed reviews from critics, this film brought in a massive $297 million at the box office on a budget of only $20 million. The sequel, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, is scheduled to debut in theaters on December 5, 2025.

In addition to Phasmophobia, Blumhouse is also working on a Dead by Daylight film in collaboration with Atomic Monster, but currently, there’s no confirmed date for when it will be released.
