| Alan Wake 2 to Silent Hill – every major horror game scheduled for 2023 and beyond |
Spooky Halloween season is upon us, and if you're searching for a hair-raising gaming experience, there's no shortage of terrifying titles to choose from this year and beyond.
The horror genre has always been a staple in entertainment due to its low production costs and high profitability in the case of movies. However, the same cannot be said for horror video games. They demand as much investment as any other game but often cater to a niche audience.
Recently, things have taken a turn as the horror game genre is experiencing a revival, likely attributed to the success of Capcom's Resident Evil remakes. Major publishers like EA and smaller indie studios are consistently releasing new horror games.
