So, picture this: Summer Game Fest 2025, and, oh boy, Section 9 Interactive and Epic Games decide to drop a new game called “End of Abyss.” Yeah, that’s right, they went full sci-fi survival horror on us. And when they say horror, they mean creepy creatures and eerie vibes.
Okay, let’s dive in. The game is kinda like a mash-up of body horror, exploration, and a pretty unique top-down FPS style. Players are already whispering that it’s got those “Inside” and “Little Nightmares” feels—creepy with a splash of “what even is this?!”
So, Section 9 Interactive, if you don’t know, is this smaller studio. They’ve got folks who used to work on Little Nightmares (both of them!) and even LittleBigPlanet PS VITA. Cute, right? Anyway, they’ve teamed up with Epic Games to show us a sneak peek at “End of Abyss,” which, if you ask me, sounds like a blend of sci-fi nightmares and twisted imagination.
Summer Game Fest this year? Wow, like a horror fan haven. New Resident Evil, a buffet of indies, and, yeah, “End of Abyss” kinda stole the spotlight. People are already digging its fresh perspective and, let’s be honest, the body horror angle.
So, the trailer gives us this cool intro to Cel, a young combat technician who’s stuck figuring out mysteries in some underground nowhere land. She’s got to handle monsters and, you know, explore this rundown world. Here’s the kicker: nothing she meets is human. Gotta love a challenge like that, right? Anyway, it channels that Little Nightmares vibe but tosses in upgradable gear ’cause Cel’s gonna need it. Release date? 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. So, mark your calendars or whatever you do.
Oh, right! People are already comparing it to “Inside”—kinda makes you wonder if they’re onto something new or just mixing old flavors. Anyway, there’s branching paths and secret spots, which is pretty cool and adds a bit of mystery. Cel’s journey is gonna be anything but boring.
Lately, horror games are super diverse, right? From the spooky “Silent Hill 2” remake to hits like “Poppy Playtime.” There’s so much to look forward to. Gamers are already eyeing titles like “Reanimal” and “Little Nightmares 3.” Now, they can add “End of Abyss” to that list of creepy, thought-provoking games. Can’t wait to see how it spooks us out in 2026!
