Paranormal Activity – the found-footage horror series that’s spawned seven movies since its debut instalment blew up the box office in 2009 – is being turned into a game by The Mortuary Assistant developer DarkStone Digital horror and renowned indie horror publisher DreadXP.
DarkStone Digital’s Paranormal Activity project, which follows the launch of last year’s VR-focused Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul from developer VRWERX, is being made in conjunction with Paramount Game Studios and promises to “bring the franchise’s groundbreaking found-footage style to horror enthusiasts in surprising new ways”.
Specifics are limited at this seemingly early juncture, but DarkStone Digital (AKA solo developer Brian Clarke, who’s also co-director and creative director of DreadXP) makes mention of a dynamic “haunt system” in the game’s announcement, explaining it’ll alter the types and intensity of scares players encounter based on their actions.
There’s also promise of a story that’ll expand on the lore and world of the Paranormal Activity films, and the whole thing is expected to launch for currently unspecified platforms sometime in 2026. More details on the project will be shared at a “later date”.
