The horror video game genre is seeing significant activity with several high-profile releases and upcoming titles scheduled for 2026 and 2027.

Notable upcoming titles include ‘Until Dawn 2’, ‘Resident Evil Veronica’, ‘Silent Hill 1 Remake’, and an experimental project titled ‘OD’ involving Hideo Kojima. Other anticipated releases include ‘Grave Seasons’, ‘Alien Deathstorm’, and ‘ONYX: The Dark Grip’, which is designed for the Nintendo Switch 2.
