10 Upcoming Horror Video Games You Need To Know About
9. The Persistence
Releasing exclusively for PS4, The Persistence is a science-fiction survival horror game made for VR. Set in the year 2521, the game takes place on a mutant-infested spaceship, tasking players with making their way around and completing objectives while avoiding or eliminating the creepy crew.
VR and horror games seem like a great fit, but developers have so far struggled to make it work. Taking cues from past horror games like Dead Space and Alien: Isolation, The Persistence could be a lot of fun to play. The game features procedurally generated environments and roguelike elements, meaning that each time you die, you'll wake up in a new body with a new ship layout to explore.
The Persistence seems to put a lot of emphasis on stealthy gameplay, which will surely be even more intense in the confines of VR, and the game features an innovative multiplayer mode in which friends can hack their way into the ship's computer systems and help you out by opening doors and distracting enemies. This one's set to release in July of this year.
