9 TERRIFYING Horror Games Still Coming In 2020
Junji by way of H.P. Lovecraft? I'll just get a change of trousers ready.
With everyone stuck at home for the foreseeable future, video games are more popular than ever. The industry just had its most successful month since 2008, and new releases like Doom: Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons have enjoyed huge sales, being embraced by players who appreciate the distraction from the real world they provide.
Even better, with developers still working on upcoming releases from home, there are plenty of titles fans are looking forward to that are still scheduled to drop this year, and horror games are no exception.
While some major horror titles have already released (including Resident Evil 3) and others have tragically been delayed (pour another one out for The Last of Us Part 2), there's a whole bunch of promising spook-a-thons coming that you can bet will be dominating Twitch over the rest of the year.
9. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope
The follow up to the first part of Supermassive Games' Dark Pictures Anthology, Little Hope is scheduled to release in the summer, having just launched its first official trailer.
Like most games the developer has made, the focus will be again on controlling a bunch of teens (all of which have a nasty habit of reaching a grisly end if the player isn't good enough) attempting to get to the bottom of a town mystery.
According to the studio, the game is going to be part The VVitch and part Hellraiser, which, as far as influences go, are pretty rock solid. Even better, the developers have acknowledged the problems some critics and players had with the first instalment in their anthology, and have attempted to address them with a more polished and ambitious follow up.
Also, Will Poulter plays the lead character. Colin from Bandersnatch. What else do I need to say?
