Video games and movies are not very far from each other as a medium of entertainment. Both of them offer their audience an immersive experience. Only video games have the ability to put the audience in the shoes of the characters they are witnessing.

Hence, it makes sense for Blumhouse to start making games. They have already mastered the art of scaring people in movies, and they can sure do it in games. They are calling this new division Blumhouse Games. This division would work on making horror games for this company, and some would even be based on their own movies.

 

It was confirmed that these games would be launched for PC, Console, and Mobile audiences. Blumhouse Games would mostly be working with indie developers as an acting publisher. These games would mostly have a budget of under $10 million.
