Blumhouse Productions announced it would be branching into the video game space in 2023, and now instead of revealing just one game that’s been in-development at Blumhouse Games in the time since then, the horror studio has revealed a video showcasing the six games currently being developed by various development studios to be published under Blumhouse. During the Summer Game Festival, CEO and Founder of Blumhouse Jason Blum noted that Blumhouse “wanted to try to take our approach to movies and apply it to games. We’re going to do independent games and look for creators and give them a platform to be weird,” sentiments that ย demonstrated at the brief glimpses of the six titles.
“In many ways, Blumhouse Games feels like going back to our roots, with a focus on indie horror, pushing boundaries and elevating new, original stories. But this time fans can get in on the action, and immerse themselves in the Blumhouse world,” Blum further stated in a press release. “I’m proud of the team and we hope this first slate of games will entertain, thrill and terrify players, and we will have more in store for fans soon.”
