Metal Gear Solid, Kojima’s successful game series, is now considered one of the biggest and most important video game series of all time. So, what makes this series famous and enables it to sell millions of units around the world? Definitely the stealth mechanics and cinematic cutscenes that draw the player in.
2015 marked a significant milestone for the Metal Gear Solid franchise. It was the year when Kojima decided to transform Kojima Productions, which he established within Konami in 2005, into an independent studio. Unfortunately, following this divergence, things did not go well for the franchise.
Konami Can Revive Metal Gear Solid Kojima won’t be involved in the upcoming remake.
Players haven’t received anything from the series since Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which was last released in 2015. It looks like they’ve run out of patience and think it’s time to get something. So,...

It’s no surprise that after 35 years, people are still playing Nintendo’s classic grey brick in the Game Boy. What is surprising is that fans are developing and releasing games for the system. Thanks to programs like Gb Studio, you too can develop your own Game Boy games, and that of course includes horror games. And there are plenty of ’em. So rather than listing off the usual suspects that includes Castlevania, Contra, and the like for the Game Boy’s anniversary, here’s a selection of more recent handheld horrors that you (if you have the right equipment) can play in all their spinach-coloured glory.
Batty Zabella
Developer Ice Cold Blood’s mix of horror and comedy a la Elvira in Game Boy form, Batty Zabella puts you as the eponymous heroine as she tries to save her family and rid her home of phantoms. The game plays...

Video games are more than just merely sources of entertainment. Players have been emotionally attached to video games in ways one could have rarely imagined. And it’s fair enough given the content, elements, characters, lores as well as the experiences that the games offer. This ensures players not only invest their time but also an emotional as well as mental part of themselves.
The death of a character, the betrayal, the unfortunate events, all of these have the ability to break hearts. Similarly, canceled games are something that has bothered gamers for years. After being announced and even trailer releases, there are multiple games that have failed to see the light of the day, crushing the excitement of fans.

EA recently announced that developer Motive Studio will be assisting in the development of the Battlefield franchise while continuing their work on an upcoming Iron Man game. Fans of that studio quickly realized that many of the people involved with Motive’s critically acclaimed 2023 Dead Space remake are now seemingly working on at least one of those two other projects. Yet, EA made no mention of the Dead Space 2 remake that Motive was reportedly supposed to be working on. That notable lack of information caused Dead Space fans to fear the worst.
Now, Jeff Grubb is reporting that Motive has essentially shelved their previously planned Dead Space 2 remake for a reason that has long haunted the Dead Space franchise like so many Necromorphs: disappointing sales.
“They were working on Dead Space 2, and they are no longer working on it,” said Grubb during a recent podcast regarding Motive’s upcoming projects.

The Silent Hill 2 Remake is on the horizon as fans wait for an official release date. While many are still hoping for a Fall 2024 release window, the possibility of 2025 is still in the air.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (Esrb) recently published the upcoming remake’s rating and it’s what you would expect from the series. Blood, violence, guns, and creatures like Pyramid Head are in the rating summary for Silent Hill 2 Remake. However, one sentence towards the latter half of the summary is tripping up the community.
The game contains some suggestive/sexual material: characters pole-dancing in strip-club settings.
Was this a mistake? Or are Bloober Team and Konami adding pole-dancing into Silent Hill 2 Remake?

As Easter Sunday approaches this weekend, we thought we’d “die” your eggs a little a differently. That is, we’re on the great hidden treasure hunt for some of the most colorful and delicious horror movie Easter eggs found in some of our favorite titles. But here’s the thing. We aren’t talking about obscure cameos from people that are hard to miss, or even secretive foreshadowing within a single movie, a la the entire Final Destination franchise. Nor are we talking about mere verbal references to other horror movies. Rather, we’re interested in visual crossover clues found one horror movie that pay homage to another, found tucked away in the background or even hidden in plain sight. You see the distinction. Good. Hopefully you haven’t already seen what’s to follow. Happy holiday y’all, here’s our Top 10 Favorite Crossover Horror Movie Easter Eggs!

Survival horror games have finally made a comeback in a huge manner. First was The Callisto Protocol, which launched in 2022 to mixed reviews. It was followed by the Dead Space remake, which launched to critical acclaim. Then fans got a game called Resident Evil 4 Remake, and finally, Alan Wake 2 was launched by Remedy Entertainment.
Most of these games were incredibly successful; they were no doubt serving a market that had been overlooked for a while. The above-mentioned games also gave the fans of survival horror games hope that they can now see more such games released in the near future. But some of these games also took a bunch of inspiration from games that were before them, like Alan Wake 2, which was heavily inspired by a classic horror franchise.

There are few television shows where one moment, you can see wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper fully freaked over a poltergeist and the next, catch The Partridge Family‘s Shirley Jones in an ascot mildly put out by a haunted house. Such is the joy of Celebrity Ghost Stories.
One of the show’s many notable qualities is that the celebrities within one episode are strangely matched, like someone tore out pages from a bunch of People magazines from the 1970s and beyond, threw them in the air like confetti, and then picked 3 or 4 celebs at random to group together per episode. This isn’t a criticism — what would the alternative even be, weird theme nights? — but it’s amusingly whiplash-inducing all the same.

Bloody FM‘s Scp Archives is proud to present their new episode inspired by classic survival game Alone in the Dark, in honor of the game’s reboot launching today!
In Pieces Interactive and Thq Nordic’s highly anticipated re-imagining of the classic survival game, Emily Hartwood (Jodie Comer) and Edward Carnby (David Harbor) venture to Derceto Manor, a mental institution, to investigate the disappearance of Emily’s uncle, Jeremy Hartwood. Inspired by the haunting Derceto Manor and its sordid history, this week’s episode of Scp Archives imagined what an early 1920s investigation into the manor might uncover…
First released in 1992, Alone in the Dark set the standard for modern survival games.

Alone in the Dark is an extremely important franchise within the sub-genre of survival horror. The first game in the series is considered by many to be the first true survival horror video game ever released. Thus, without this franchise, other iconic survival horror titles like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Alan Wake may never have come to pass.
This is one reason that this reimagining of the original Alone in the Dark was my most anticipated 2024 release, the other reason is because survival horror remakes have been knocking it out of the park lately. Last year alone saw Capcom expertly remaster the iconic Resident Evil 4, after the year opened with EA releasing a masterful remake of the original Dead Space.
All of this combined with the star power of David Harbour and Jodie Comer in the lead roles meant that Pieces Interactive’s 2024 reimagining of Alone in the Dark...

Epic Games’ Fortnite is one of the most popular titles, and it owes its popularity to its amazing gameplay and freedom of customization, not to mention that it’s free to play. The developer also brings in collaborations from time to time that have now become a big part of Fortnite.
While the crossovers have helped the game garner more players, they have also overshadowed the main gameplay that first appealed to players. A survey from developers has now been sent to players, asking them about new crossovers they would want in the game.

The internet sure was riled up by those first images of Bill Skarsgård (It) as Eric Draven in Lionsgate’s remake of The Crow a couple weeks back, with even the original movie’s director (Alex Proyas) chiming in and taking a jab at Draven’s “bad hair day.” But it’s not fair to judge movies based solely on a couple of random images. That’s what official trailers are for.
Bill Skarsgård takes over the iconic role of Eric Draven in Lionsgate’s new reboot of The Crow, and Lionsgate has unleashed the upcoming movie’s full official trailer this morning.

Unlike most genre enthusiasts, horror fans face a unique challenge when trying to share their favorite media with friends and family. While almost anyone can handle watching a rom-com or a space opera (even if they don’t necessarily enjoy the experience), you can get into serious trouble by recommending Martyrs or Cannibal Holocaust to someone who isn’t yet versed in horror.
This is even more challenging when it comes to video games, with the added level of interactivity making scares more intense and raising the odds of alienating a loved one with an excessively disturbing recommendation. With this in mind, we’ve decided to come up with a list highlighting six gateway horror games that you can share with friends, co-workers and even children without risking life-long trauma!
As usual, don’t forget to comment below with your own non-m-rated horror favorites if you think we missed a particularly fun one.

A picture of Hideo Kojima holding a lamplight, a prop from Alan Wake 2, kicked off a series of curious “what if” questions. The picture was posted on the official Alan Wake subreddit forum by a fan. Kojima has posted the picture a few days back,...

For more than two decades, Silent Hill 2 has been considered one of the scariest games of all time. The game was first released for PlayStation 2, then Xbox and PC, and in 2012, a remastered version was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game’s psychological horror story often makes it hard for one to play it alone and in order to tackle this problem, a gamer has been looking for a companion.

Bill Skarsgård (It) takes over the iconic role of Eric Draven in Lionsgate’s new reboot of The Crow, and the first images from the film have been released ahead of an official trailer.
The Crow reboot will release in theaters on June 7, 2024, and Vanity Fair has shared three first-look images this morning that reveal Bill Skarsgård’s tattooed take on Eric Draven.
Director Rupert Sanders explains to Vanity Fair, “I think the beauty of Bill is that he has a disturbing beauty, and as he transforms through his loss he becomes this thing that even he can’t control. It’s that famous line: ‘Whoever fights monsters must be careful that they don’t become one.’ That look was me in the ’90s when we were squat-raving in London, [mixed with some modern influences] like Post Malone and Lil Peep. I hope people who are 19 today look at him and go, ‘That guy is us.

It’s always fun to be able to try out an upcoming game before its release, and that’s exactly what Steam Next Fest aims to do. Running through February 12, the celebration highlights thousands of demos, allowing you to get your hands on some of the most anticipated games while discovering new ones to add to your wishlist.
Going through the list can be a daunting task, so here’s six highlights that I’ve tried out and would highly recommend.
Children Of The Sun
I went into this one thinking it would play like a neon horror version of Hitman, but instead it was something more interesting and focused. In Children of the Sun, you play a masked sniper enacting vengeance on a cult that ruined her life. Each level presents you with an area populated by a group of cultists. You circle the perimeter to get the best angle,...

Developer Vincent Adinolfi has landed some extra help with his upcoming retro Survival Horror game Heartworm. After running into difficulties with the original publisher, DreadXP has stepped in to fill the publishing void for the survival horror game, which pays tribute to the low-fidelity look and feel of 90s genre classics Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Dino Crisis.
Aiming for a 2025 release on PC via Steam, Heartworm is described as “a nostalgia-wrapped nightmare” about one girl’s battle with grief and the otherworldly manifestations that may hold the key to the afterlife. Players assume the role of Sam, who driven by her obsession the deaths of those closest to her, spends her days crawling the internet looking for something to alleviate her pain. Sam’s morbid research takes her deep into the dark web, where she stumbles upon an internet message board that talks about a mysterious house in the...

With Chasing Static developer Headware Games releasing their psychological Survival Horror game Hollowbody later this year, it only makes sense to give prospective fans a taste of what’s on offer, right? Case in point: Headware Games has released a “playable teaser” for Hollowbody, which is available on the game’s Steam page.
The short 20-30 minute teaser for Hollowbody shows off the game’s world and core systems, allowing players to mess around in a curated section of the game. “I’ve been working super hard to get this to a standard where I am happy to release it publicly,” says Nath of Headware Games, who’s also doing the music for Hollowbody.
Described by Nath as a “dystopian alt-future take on Silent Hill“, Hollowbody follows Mica, an unlicensed Shipper working for a ring of black market freelancers. Mica finds herself stranded in a long abandoned British city in the exclusion zone,...

After a couple of delays, Thq’s belated remake of Alone in the Dark is almost upon us and we couldn’t be more hyped. After all, the title is poised to breathe fresh life into what was once recognized as the granddaddy of survival horror (even though it predates that label by a good few years).
You see, despite its far-reaching influence — which can be felt in everything from classic Resident Evil to mainline Silent Hill entries— this IP has been languishing since the turn of the millennium. Owing to a string of increasingly dodgy sequels, very few gamers under the age of thirty are likely to hold the series in high esteem, while its protagonist, Edward Carnby, is hardly as iconic as his nearest counterparts in Leon S. Kennedy or James Sunderland.

The first gameplay trailer for the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake was unveiled at the Playstation State Of Play event.
Blooper Team showcased the first trailer for their upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake during last night’s State of Play. It’s the first sign of life for the game since it was announced in 2022 and since the developers confirmed no major changes were being made to the narrative in early 2023.
Take a look at the Silent Hill 2 trailer below.
Disappointingly, there’s no release date attached to the trailer. Sony did previously promise that the game would arrive in 2024, but that remains to be seen.
The game will follow in the footsteps of the 2001 original. You will play as James Sunderland, who travels to Silent Hill, looking for his deceased wife Mary after receiving a letter that she is alive.

Disclaimer: Crunchyroll is an independently operated joint venture between U.S.-based Sony Pictures Entertainment and Japan’s Aniplex. Today saw another PlayStation State of Play stream debut, bringing with it around 45 minutes of new and updated game info. Hideo Kojima was on hand for a double whammy—including more on Death Stranding 2 , which now sports the On The Beach subtitle, and a new espionage game called Physint . There's also a new Silent Hill game available to download for free. That's just scratching the surface, so let's take a look at some of the highlights from today's State of Play. Death Stranding 2 On The Beach is due out in 2025, and as usual you should expect more questions than answers in the extensive nine-minute cinematic trailer. If that's not enough Kojima for you, the Metal Gear Solid mastermind is returning to the action-espionage genre with Physint . In two years they'll be...

Metal Gear Solid on the original PlayStation was the first time I actually remember being plugged into the hype cycle of a video game. I was in my early teens and finally really getting into the hobby, reading various magazines and taking in all the information I could about the industry. When I got the game, I had an amazing time with it, but despite how focused I was on it, I couldn’t stop thinking about something I saw on the back of the instruction manual: an ad that said “Coming Soon” with a crossed-arm cop, alongside the text “Welcome to Hell” and the title Silent Hill. It gave me nothing about the contents of the actual game, but I was drawn to it. Maybe there was something transgressive to my young mind about seeing a ‘bad word’ like Hell prominently in an advertisement, maybe it was just the...

Lana Parrilla and Branko Tomovic have joined the cast of Action Xtreme’s Pov action thriller “Bad Day at the Office” from writer-director Chee Keong Cheung.
The two join the previously announced cast of John Hannah, Radha Mitchell, Tamer Hassan, Roxanne Mckee (“Game of Thrones”) and Tim Fellingham (“Final Destination 5”).
Filmed entirely in the first-person perspective using GoPros, “Bad Day at the Office” follows Karl (Hannah) after he wakes up in a wrecked hotel room with no memory of what’s happened, where he is, or even who he is. When he discovers a dead body in the bathtub, it sets into motion a terrifying and explosive series of events that force Karl and hotel maid Molly (Mitchell) on a blind descent into a deceptive world of confusion and conspiracy.

We happen to be lucky enough to live in a timeline where horror is unquestionably crushing at the box office and otherwise. People are lining up in droves not only to see men in tights throwing down to save the universe in superhero flicks but to see monsters and ghouls doing horrible and heinous things to human beings. And no, I’m not talking about congress. I’m talking about some good old-fashioned wear your brown pants to the theater and leave the kids at home (or don’t I don’t judge) , horror flicks. I can’t promise you everything is going to be okay in 2024. Not with Ezra Miller roaming the streets, but I can promise you this… we’ve got a lot of great horror flicks headed our way. Probably. Well, they sound cool.

Faith is a powerful thing. There’s almost no limit to what can be accomplished when enough people share the same beliefs. However, this power can be easily misused, and a group of misguided believers can do a lot of damage during their search for enlightenment. That’s why it’s no surprise that there are so many scary movies about the dangers of cults.
From Rosemary’s Baby to Midsommar, filmmakers have been using these volatile groups to tell some incredibly chilling stories since the beginning of cinema, and that’s precisely why we’ve decided to compile a list highlighting six of the scariest cults in horror.
For the purposes of this list, we’ll be defining a “cult” as a fringe group of extreme believers bound by a shared (fictional) faith. And while we won’t be officially including it on the list due to a possible conflict of interests,...

Horror movies are a transformative experience.They can elicit a wide range of emotions and reactions. They can make us feel an overwhelming sense of dread, terror, or fear. We love horror films. But you know what I love even more than horror movies? Horror video games.
A good horror game will give me the same rush as a movie. Something that doesn’t often happen, however, is the intersection of the two. Sure we have stuff like Dead By Daylight and Evil Dead: The Game but for the most part the era of video games based on movies has long passed. But that’s not to say there aren’t some absolute gems based on your favorite movies.
For this list I’ve tried to highlight some of the most enjoyable adaptations I’ve played and some underappreciated ones as well. Though some may be kind of a hassle...

Vin Diesel's Riddick movies are an unusual franchise, driven by Diesel's love for the character and a desire to explore his world with series director David Twohy. Each entry is wildly different from the others, spanning different genres and even mediums, with a short detour into animation for "Riddick: Dark Fury." Riddick himself is a fun sci-fi creation, the last surviving member of an alien warrior race called Furyans, with reflective eyes that see in the dark. But where should newcomers to the franchise start, and what order should they watch the "Riddick" flicks in?
Thankfully the answer is fairly simple, dear reader, though which entries work best might vary from viewer to viewer. "Pitch Black" seems to be fairly universally beloved, but the other "Riddick" entries received more mixed receptions yet have their own cult followings. The movies are possible to enjoy on their own but might be a little confusing,...

There’s no shortage of memorable adversaries in the horror gaming space, with the Silent Hill and Resident Evil franchises alone doing plenty of heavy lifting.
Nevertheless, it mustn’t go unnoticed that developers have been stepping things up lately in this department. Indeed, the past year has seen us going toe to toe with some rather goosebump-inducing opponents that we thought deserved a little more appreciation.
From deep sea terrors to troglomorphic behemoths and literary constructs that have taken on lives of their very own, there’s been a fair bit of variety to these pixelated antagonists as well. So, let’s take a look at those select few that managed to stand out from the crowd.

Acclaimed indie studio A24 and beloved game developer/weirdo Hideo Kojima are teaming up to bring a live-action adaptation of the 2019 video game "Death Stranding" to the big screen. The game starred Norman Reedus (via motion capture) as a courier who wanders the perilous landscapes of the post-apocalyptic United States, avoiding monsters with the help of a psychic bond that he shares with a premature baby called Lou, who is carried around in a portable synthetic womb.
The official synopsis from A24 and Kojima Productions (via Variety) doesn't mention the psychic jar baby, but instead simply says that:
"The film promises to delve into the mysteries surrounding the apocalyptic event called the 'Death Stranding,' which blurred the lines between life and death, and brought forth nightmarish creatures into a world on the brink of collapse."
The "Death Stranding" movie is only in the early development stage right now, with no writers,...

If there’s one director whose entire filmography is consistently horror-adjacent, it would have to be Yorgos Lanthimos. The Athenian filmmaker is mostly known for his absurdist dramas, but nearly all of his movies feature some form of horrific undercurrent beneath the offbeat dialogue and odd characters. And while his 2023 feature Poor Things wears its horror influences on its Frankenstein-inspired sleeves, today I’d like to look back on the director’s most effortlessly terrifying film – 2017’s psychological thriller The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
After reaching mainstream critical acclaim with 2015’s The Lobster, Lanthimos was basically given carte blanche on his next strange project. Borrowing the premise of an ancient Greek play, his next film would be a modern-day tragedy co-written by Efthymis Filippou and financed by Irish and British production companies. And like Yorgo’s previous English-language project, The Killing of a Sacred Deer would also benefit...

Details about Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake have been minimal over the past year, but the developer says “production is progressing smoothly”…
Seemingly making up for lost time, Konami announced a whole wave of new Silent Hill games last year. Among the most anticipated is a remake of Silent Hill 2, which is being handled by Polish developer, Bloober Team.
A year later, and little has been seen from Bloober’s remake, which will revise the 2001 classic of the same name for a new generation of hardware. Perhaps conscious of the radio silence – or maybe somewhat weary of all the messages from fans asking for more information – Bloober Team has taken to Twitter (or X) with an update.
“As Bloober Team, we are proud to be a part of Konami’s plan for the Silent Hill franchise,” the studio wrote in a statement. “Alongside our partner, we are...

Behaviour Interactive’s global multiplayer horror video game Dead by Daylight celebrated its 7th anniversary earlier this year, and it’s still adding new content. In fact, the game is going to be receiving a major update on November 28th – as that’s the day the iconic killer doll Chucky is going to be added into the mix! The news of Chucky’s addition was broken by IGN, and they were even able to confirm that Brad Dourif is providing Chucky’s voice for the game. Behaviour informed them that players will be able to customize Chucky’s appearance with the Good Gal outfit – which will turn him into his bride Tiffany Valentine, voiced by Jennifer Tilly.
IGN notes, “As you’d expect, Chucky is adept at sneaking around the map, and he has a Slice & Dice ability that lets him lunge at his larger would-be victims in order to more efficiently close the gap.

With all of the talk about Silent Hill 2, it’s easy to forget about the other Silent Hill games that were announced by Konami, and even the ones that weren’t officially announced. That latter point, of course, refers to Silent Hill: The Short Message, which when we last heard about it, had its info leaked by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee.
Now it’s the Australian Classification Board (Acb) doing the leaking. Per Video Games Chronicle, in the board’s annual report, alongside rating the game as MA15+ for “Strong suicide themes, horror violence, and coarse language”, the Acb has revealed new information regarding The Short Message.
Do note that these next sections includes spoilers, so be warned.
According to the report, Silent Hill: The Short Message is an “exploration‑based psychological horror game” that centres on characters in an apartment building called The Villa in modern‑day Germany.

Update: Konami has now stated that the original Best Buy production information page was incorrect. The listing has since been updated to remove the line regarding Pyramid Head. No further information has been released as of this time. Our original story has been left unchanged as a reference for this new information.
Recently, the team behind Silent Hill: Ascension (an interactive series based on the Silent Hill franchise) had to shut down the chat feature that was supposed to be an essential part of the entire interactive experience. Why? Well, it turns out that the chat function was being overworked/abused by fans who kept spamming often lurid requests regarding, among other things, the sexual acts they would like Pyramid Head to perform on them.
It was an entirely predictable outcome for a project that seemed to be a terrible idea from the start. Remarkably, though, that arguably isn’t...
