Man, the horror game scene is absolutely exploding right now! Seriously, there are *so* many new games coming out – we’re talking big names returning and totally fresh titles trying to scare us all. And honestly? They all look genuinely terrifying. I can’t wait (and I’m a little scared) to play them all!

Man, so many games are coming out lately, it’s tough to know which ones will *really* be worth playing. But there are a few I’m seriously hyped about – I think they’re going to be instant classics in the horror genre, pushing the boundaries of what scares us and giving us some legit nightmares!

Resident Evil Requiem

The King Of Horror Returns

The next Resident Evil game, officially called Resident Evil Requiem, is expected to be the last main installment in the numbered series. Considering how good the recent games and remakes have been, it’s likely to be a major release. Players will explore both familiar and brand-new locations, including the famous Raccoon City, which will be filled with nods to the series’ 20-year history.

Requiem feels like a heartfelt thank you to longtime fans of the series, centering its story around the relatively unknown Ashcroft family. While many details are still secret, the game is almost certain to be a top horror title when it releases in 2026, and could even be one of the best of the decade.

ILL

Horrific Creatures Of All Shapes And Sizes

ILL promises to be a truly terrifying horror game. Created by developers with backgrounds in filmmaking and special effects, it combines a movie-like story with incredibly realistic and disturbing visuals, all brought to life using the powerful Unreal Engine 5.

In ILL, players venture into a crumbling research facility now infested with terrifying creatures. These monsters respond in unexpected ways to sounds, lights, and even being touched. Every fight feels incredibly realistic and brutal, with detailed injuries and chillingly clear sounds. This isn’t just a typical horror shooter; it’s a deeply unsettling experience that uses all your senses to create a truly terrifying atmosphere.

OD: Knock

An Industry Titan Meets Fear Itself

Hideo Kojima, the mind behind iconic games, is creating OD: Knock, a highly anticipated horror game that’s generating a lot of buzz. It’s aiming to push the boundaries of psychological horror by combining a movie-like story, deep player involvement, and cutting-edge technology to create a uniquely realistic and terrifying experience.

Hideo Kojima explains the game focuses on confronting your fears, hinting at a story that changes based on how you feel while playing. Even from the brief glimpses we’ve seen, it looks incredible and genuinely frightening. If it delivers on its promise, this game could become a major force in the horror genre.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival

An Icon Of The Genre Is Back

Okay, so I’m really hyped about Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival! It’s bringing the classic Hellraiser universe back to games after a long wait, and it looks *amazing*. From what I’ve seen, it’s diving deep into Barker’s original, creepy vision – think really twisted puzzles and seriously disturbing body horror. It’s supposed to capture that same unsettling beauty that made the original movies such a cult hit, and honestly, I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Thanks to Clive Barker’s hands-on creative role, *Hellraiser: Revival* aims to truly capture the spirit of his original idea. Seeing the terrifying Cenobites in today’s incredibly realistic graphics could make this one of the scariest and most immersive horror games in years, and fans of the *Hellraiser* series won’t want to miss it.

Directive 8020

Dark Pictures Crossed With Sci-Fi Terror

Directive 8020 kicks off Season 2 of The Dark Pictures Anthology, taking Supermassive Games’ interactive horror into the vastness of space. The story centers on the crew of a colony ship who face a terrifying, unknown entity, where loneliness and suspicion become their greatest fears.

Set on a chilling, metal-filled spaceship far from Earth, *Directive 8020* blends psychological thrills with the scary atmosphere of films like *Alien* and *Event Horizon*. The game features a story that changes based on your choices, forcing you to make difficult decisions in a realistically unsettling environment.
