Pathologic 3 Announced With Time-Travel Focused New Trailer

As a seasoned gamer with years of survival horror experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the return of the sand plague in Pathologic 3 has me more than intrigued. Having delved into both Pathologic and Pathologic 2, I’m eager to see how Ice-Pick Lodge will elevate the genre yet again with this anticipated sequel.


The sand plague is back, and it turns out its horrors look even better in 4K.

Ice-Pick Lodge recently released a somewhat eerie teaser video, shedding light on several aspects of the upcoming game, “Pathologic 3”, the highly anticipated follow-up to “Pathologic 2” (2019).

The freshly unveiled title faces a significant challenge, having followed a groundbreaking debut that transformed the survival horror genre and matured significantly with its second installment.

Plague Mondays

The trailer begins by showcasing an ordinary Monday scene in a small countryside town, complete with children at play. However, a chilling sight is also presented – a body hanging from a pole above them.

In this round of play, you’ll step into the shoes of Dr. Daniil Dankovsky, a sophisticated city doctor residing in a bustling metropolis. You’ll have an abundance of roles to enact and challenges to tackle, which is quite different from your past gaming experiences.

Given that the town is gradually succumbing to a terrible illness, the Bachelor finds himself responsible for not only managing the current outbreak but also discovering a future remedy.

In Pathologic 3, you have the ability to restrict specific areas within the town by deploying patrols, and also have the power to issue orders for quarantine.

Maintaining distance from those who are infected is indeed crucial, but that alone won’t solve the problem. It’s equally important to discover a remedy as well.

To enjoy playing “Pathologic 3”, you don’t necessarily need a background in virology, but being prepared to grapple with rudimentary tools available at the town laboratory is essential. This will help you comprehend the pathogen, and ultimately develop a solution for it.

Back to the Grim Future

Despite a vast abundance of content related to the general concept of multiple universes and time travel, it’s fortunate that the creators of Pathologic opted against following the easy path.

In the Marvel universe, there won’t be a magic rewind button for mistakes. Instead, journeys through time will take on a more reflective and personal tone.

Just like the prosecutor’s speech in Albert Camus’ The Stranger offers insight, these flashbacks can help you grasp the sequence of actions or incidents that have landed you in this predicament, as well as provide a glimpse into what may lie ahead.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got to say, Ice-Pick Lodge has wisely chosen to keep the winning formula intact throughout the game. Still, they’ve left me with just twelve crucial days to turn the tide and make an impact!

On the Steam page for “Pathologic 3”, there’s a striking, disorganized elegance in its text that adheres to the series’ signature blend of psychological terror.

Could we possibly discuss a potential adjustment in the proposed release year for Pathologic 3, from 2025, to see if there’s a chance it could be moved up? In the meantime, I wonder if there are any steps we can take now to ensure a smooth and timely launch.
