Asylum horror game slated for console release in 2026

The psychological horror adventure **Asylum**, developed by Argentine studio Senscape and published by SOEDESCO, launched on PC in March 2025 to very positive Steam reviews. The creators announced that the game will arrive on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch in late 2026. Development spanned 15 years, during which the team switched to Unreal Engine and overcame Argentina’s economic challenges and the pandemic.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, Hammer horror films and 1980s European cinema, Asylum emphasizes atmosphere, tension and exploration over jump‑scares. Players assume the role of an ex‑patient exploring the abandoned Hanwell Mental Institute, solving puzzles over roughly ten hours of gameplay, with optional secrets and a soundtrack echoing John Carpenter’s style.
