The immensely popular Paranormal Activity franchise, known for its found-footage horror style and a string of successful movies dating back to its explosive debut in 2009, is now venturing into the realm of gaming. DarkStone Digital, the developer behind The Mortuary Assistant, in collaboration with DreadXP, a renowned indie horror publisher, is bringing the spine-chilling world of Paranormal Activity to interactive life.
Announced by DreadXP, this new project aims to capture the essence of the franchise’s groundbreaking found-footage style while introducing innovative gaming experiences for horror enthusiasts. Paramount Game Studios is also onboard, ensuring a seamless transition from the silver screen to gaming consoles.
Although details are scarce at this early stage, DarkStone Digital hints at an intriguing feature called the “haunt system” in the press release. This dynamic system is said to adapt the intensity and nature of scares based on players’ actions, promising an immersive and personalized horror experience.
Furthermore, the game is slated to offer an expanded narrative that delves deeper into the rich lore and world established by the Paranormal Activity films. Set for release on unspecified platforms in 2026, fans can anticipate a deeper exploration of the eerie universe they’ve come to know and fear.
While further specifics are yet to be unveiled, DreadXP’s track record speaks volumes. Renowned for its Dread X Collection anthology series, which curates retro-inspired horror experiences from various indie developers, the publisher has demonstrated a keen eye for quality and innovation in the genre.
Projects like Dread Delusion, an open-world fantasy RPG, and Hand of Doom, an eccentric FMV-inspired dungeon crawler, showcase the diversity of DreadXP’s portfolio.
With a Creepshow TV series-based project also in the pipeline for later release, DreadXP continues to push boundaries and redefine horror gaming. As anticipation builds for the Paranormal Activity game, fans can expect nothing short of a chilling and unforgettable experience that stays true to the franchise’s legacy.
