10 Terrifying Horror Video Games Coming In 2016

7. Until Dawn: Rush Of Blood

VR is nearly here, and we'll finally find out whether it'll be a video game revolution or one of the biggest anti-climaxes in the history of the industry. If there's a single genre that stands to benefit most from the technology, it's definitely horror, and who better to test this theory out than the developers who brought us Until Dawn?

Rush of Blood looks like it has a similarly self-aware tone to Until Dawn, and while the original game played on all the classic teen slasher tropes, Rush of Blood looks set to be more of a Haunted House ride - a literal on-rails shooter filled with jump-scares, zombies and, of course, maniacal killer clowns.

It's admittedly the kind of game whose appeal may fade after the initial novelty of the all-immersive VR experience wears off. It may not be big or clever, or as brilliantly paced and written as the original Until Dawn, but while we're still being wowed by the capabilities of VR technology, it's sure to be a horrifying ride while it lasts.
