If you’ve been yearning for a new horror adventure to venture even further into the abyss than Little Nightmares I & II did, then you’re in for a treat.

Announced at GAMESCON 2024 on August 20, this game promises to offer a darker and even more unsettling experience.

REANIMAL trailer

In REANIMAL, you’ll depart on a harrowing journey with a brother and sister as they explore a nightmarish island to rescue their missing friends. But this isn’t just any island — it’s a twisted and menacing place that will test your survival skills to their limits.

The game combines exploration by boat and on land with intense co-op mechanics, challenging players to work together to escape and uncover the dark secrets lurking in the shadows.

REANIMAL seems to be focused on creating an atmosphere that is filled with tension and dread. The story revolves around the two orphan siblings desperately seeking hope and redemption amid overwhelming adversity.

It’s a story that’s as much about emotional resilience as it is about survival.

REANIMAL platforms

REANIMAL is set to make its debut on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Make sure to wishlist the game to stay updated on its release. With Tarsier Studios behind it, you can expect a game that’s not just scary but also deeply immersive; especially considering their expertise in creating atmospheric horror.

Prepare yourself for a visually stunning and eerie experience. REANIMAL is set in a labyrinthine world filled with dark, mysterious locations. Each area offers a fragmented piece of the narrative, encouraging you to keep exploring, even though you might want to turn back.

REANIMAL is designed to keep you on your toes with hidden stories and secrets scattered throughout the island. The world is as much a character as the two protagonists, with its intricate design contributing to the unsettling atmosphere of the game.

REANIMAL co-op play

One of the most exciting parts of REANIMAL's reveal is its cooperative gameplay feature. The game will support both local and online co-op modes, allowing you to tackle its horrors with a friend.

The shared, directed camera system is designed to amplify the claustrophobic and tense atmosphere, ensuring that every moment of gameplay is filled with fear and anticipation. Whether you’re exploring alone or with someone by your side, REANIMAL promises a gripping experience that will keep you on edge.

It looks like REANIMAL is going to be a must-play for fans of horror and adventure. With its dark narrative, eerie visuals, and cooperative gameplay, it offers a fresh take on the genre that promises to haunt your dreams.

Get ready to face your fears head-on!
