October 4th 2024.
As the month of October rolls in, so does a slew of new horror games, including the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake. For those seeking a spook-filled gaming experience this Halloween, look no further, as we've compiled a list of all the new titles to keep an eye out for.
Horror games have always been a popular genre, and for good reason. There's something uniquely terrifying about being in control of your own fate in a virtual world. Whether it's the heart-pounding survival horror of titles like Amnesia: The Dark Descent or the cinematic narrative of traditional horror films, these games never fail to deliver a chilling experience.
However, unlike movies, horror games are not usually any cheaper to make than regular games. And for some reason, publishers tend to release them at any time of the year other than Halloween. But not this time. This year, we have a whole host of terrifying games to keep us on the edge of our seats throughout the spooky season and beyond.
First up, we have the remake of the cult classic, Until Dawn. Originally released in 2015, this interactive horror film puts you in control of eight young adults as they try to survive the night on Blackwood Mountain. Your choices will determine the fate of each character, making for a unique and immersive experience. The remake boasts overhauled visuals, new camera controls, and even a tease for a potential sequel. If you're new to horror games, this is the perfect place to start.
Next, we have the highly anticipated remake of Silent Hill 2. This PlayStation 2 classic has been given new life by developer Bloober Team, who have managed to maintain the haunting atmosphere of the original while updating the gameplay to a modern over-the-shoulder perspective. It's sure to be the most talked about horror game of the year, so get ready to journey to the foggy town of Silent Hill once again.
For fans of the film A Quiet Place, there's a new spin-off game set within the existing canon. You play as asthmatic college student Alex Taylor, navigating the post-apocalyptic world with your boyfriend Martin. Developed by Stormind Games, who have a track record of creating great horror games, this spin-off promises impressive visuals and unique gameplay mechanics involving sound levels and stealth.
If you prefer a more tongue-in-cheek approach to horror, RetroRealms Arcade Halloween and Ash Vs. Evil Dead are two 2D side-scrolling slashers that will have you laughing and screaming at the same time. Developed by Boss Team Games, the team behind the multiplayer title Evil Dead: The Game, these retro-inspired games feature fan-favorite characters Michael Myers and Ash swapping between games if you purchase both titles. Plus, there's even a special collector's edition that comes with a Michael Myers plushie.
Next up, we have Fear The Spotlight, a third-person horror adventure that channels 90s PlayStation nostalgia with its chunky 3D graphics. You play as Vivian and Amy, sneaking into school after hours to solve puzzles and uncover the mystery behind a tragedy from decades before. This is also the first game from the new gaming division at Blumhouse, known for their horror films, making it a promising addition to the genre.
And finally, we have No More Room In Hell 2, a co-op game developed by Torn Banner Studios, best known for the Chivalry series. This game promises to channel the spirit of Left 4 Dead with its eight-player zombie killing on a massive and dynamic map. Originally created as a Half-Life 2 mod in 2013, this game has been highly anticipated by fans and is finally being released this October.
So there you have it, a rundown of all the new horror games out this month and beyond. Whether you're a seasoned horror game player or a newbie to the genre, there's something for everyone in this terrifying lineup. Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of horror and prepare for a Halloween filled with chills and thrills.
As Halloween draws near, horror fans eagerly await the release of new terrifying games to send shivers down their spines. From survival horrors to narrative-based adventures, video games have proven to be the perfect medium for delivering truly terrifying experiences. Unlike movies, horror games are usually just as costly to make as regular games, which may explain why they are not typically released around Halloween. However, this year, developers and publishers have heard the cries of horror enthusiasts and have a lineup of spine-chilling games set to release this month and beyond.
One of the most highly anticipated releases is the remake of Until Dawn on October 4th. This game is designed to simulate a slasher film, where players control eight young adults trying to survive the night on Blackwood Mountain. Every decision made by the player affects the outcome of the game, leading to multiple possible endings. Supermassive Games, the creators of Until Dawn, have since released other horror titles, making them a reliable source for quality scares.
Another remake to look out for is Silent Hill 2, set to release on October 8th. This survival horror classic from the PlayStation 2 era has been given new life by developer Bloober Team. Players take on the role of James Sutherland, who receives a letter from his deceased wife, leading him to the mysterious town of Silent Hill. Fans of the original game were initially skeptical about the remake, but early reviews have praised Bloober Team for successfully keeping the eerie atmosphere intact while updating the gameplay.
For those looking for a game that ties into a popular horror franchise, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is set to release on October 17th. This spin-off game follows a college student named Alex as she navigates the post-apocalyptic world with her boyfriend, Martin.

If you prefer a more lighthearted and nostalgic horror experience, RetroRealms Arcade Halloween and Ash Vs. Evil Dead are both set to release on October 18th. These 2D side-scrolling games offer a throwback to classic horror movies, with players taking on the roles of iconic characters like Michael Myers and Ash. The games even allow for character swapping if both titles are purchased, and a collector's edition comes with a cuddly Michael Myers plushie for the brave at heart.
On October 22nd, horror fans can look forward to Fear The Spotlight, a third-person adventure game with a 90s PlayStation aesthetic.
