Horror games have fascinated fans since the 1970s. Retro titles like Killer Shark and Haunted House have the capacity to live among fans of the genre forever. Since then, a lot of successful and popular horror games have come into existence. Some notable franchises include Resident Evil, Silent Hill, The Walking Dead, Left 4 Dead, Dead By Daylight, Bloodborne, Outlast, and Dead Space. 

Now that we have named a few of the most exciting, old horror titles, let’s jump into what’s upcoming for us! Here are four of the most anticipated horror games that will launch by the end of 2022 or early 2023. 

Scorn is finally ready for an October 2022 launch

A PC and Xbox exclusive, Scorn is a horror-adventure game, first announced back in 2014. It faced several delays since its first reveal but the game is finally ready to take fans on a spooky ride from October! 

The officials have not revealed much regarding the campaign. However, we do know that the protagonist will be set free in an atmospheric, scary open-ended world with interconnected regions. The player will be able to explore the world’s creepy ends in a non-linear fashion, pick up items and weapons to survive, and basically, survive all the scares!  

The Callisto Protocol 

As confirmed by the recent State of Play event, the much-anticipated sci-fi survival horror title is all set to release for PS5 and PS4 in December. A PC and an Xbox port is on the way, but the release dates for the same have not been announced yet.

The Callisto Protocol has been developed by Striking Distance Studios, a studio created by Glen Schofield of Dead Space fame. The game was originally supposed to be set in the same timeline as PUBG, but Schofield confirmed later that The Callisto Protocol will have its own universe.

A Dead Space Remake is on the way
