Extraction has players assemble their team from the 18 Operators from Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege to launch
Last year, developer rose-engine unveiled their pixel-based survival horror title Signalis, which seemed like a combo of survival horror and anime. The game’s back with a new trailer that kicked off the Tribeca Games Spotlight at E3, showing off more aesthetic goodies. It’s already been covered that the game takes inspiration from classic survival horror
Saber Interactive’s action-strategy adaptation of World War Z is the latest title to get a current-gen upgrade, as well as a bevy of new content.

The Persistence is one of my favorite games on PSVR, and I always felt it was a shame more people couldn’t experience it somehow. Happily, the game got a regular non-VR version on last-generation consoles and now comes to PS5 and PC in better shape than ever with a new ‘Enhanced’ edition. Out today, The
Home invasion thrillers are inherently terrifying for corrupting the private space designated most for comfort and safety. The terror compounds when the home dweller can’t fight back easily; their vulnerability exacerbates the suspense tenfold—vulnerabilities like blindness.

Video games have been a constant source of joy in my life, but my enjoyment hardly expanded into the horror genre for the longest time. My earliest memories tend to revolve around the various Mario games I owned on the Nintendo 64, like Super Mario 64, Super Mario Kart, Mario Party 2, and Super Smash
Would my horror journalist accreditation be revoked if I didn’t update my ranking of Warner Brothers’ Conjuring Universe (“Conjurverse,” to me) with every new canonical release? Of course not (because that’s not a real thing), but why not dissect totem dolls, sisterly sinners, and more possessions than Ash Williams could shake his boomstick at. What
Hot on the heels of the release of the remaster of Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne, fans waiting for Shin Megami Tensei V won’t have to wait long.

As we learned last year, a third A Quiet Place movie is already in the works, with Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) on board to direct a tale based on an idea by John Krasinski. Tonight, Paramount has dated that third installment for March 31, 2023! Deadline notes, “The pic is very early in development and
And there’s nothing we love more than “very Sam Raimi.” When Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Doctor Strange) stepped away from the project due to creative differences, Sam Raimi stepped in to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for Marvel, a perfect fit given Raimi’s history with Marvel superhero movies and of course, horror movies.
