Chilling Sci-Fi Survival Horror Game “End of Abyss” Unveiled at Summer Game Fest

Sure, here goes:

Okay, so there was this big reveal recently at the Summer Game Fest 2025. End of Abyss, ever heard of it? It’s this sci-fi horror game that Section 9 Interactive and Epic Games are rolling out. And let me tell you, it’s got that weird combo of body horror and exploration—but from a top-down FPS angle. Crazy, right? People are already saying it’s giving off vibes like Inside and Little Nightmares. You know, those games that keep you up at night because you can’t stop thinking about them? Yeah, those.

Now, Section 9 is a little studio with folks who’ve worked on some big names like Little Nightmares and LittleBigPlanet PS VITA. So, I guess they know their stuff. This new game is supposed to hit you with dark science fiction stories, but with that extra freaky twist. I watched a bit of it during the main showcase, and, wow, the horror announcements just kept coming. I’m talking new Resident Evil teasers and some indie gems. Honestly, End of Abyss kinda caught my eye mainly because of its unique take—like it’s horror, but with a spin that feels both familiar and fresh at the same time.

Anyway — Oh, wait! I almost forgot — the trailer! So, there’s this character, Cel, who’s a combat technician (sounds fancy, right?). She’s trying to figure out what’s going on in this creepy, underground facility. The whole place is abandoned, but there’s stuff lurking in the shadows that nobody wants to meet. Cel’s not just poking around though; she’ll be fighting and upgrading gear as she goes. It’s like Little Nightmares, but with upgrades. And yeah, the release is set for 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

People are buzzing about how it’s kind of like Inside—but not. It’s got this top-down shooter thing going on, which nobody really saw coming in a horror game. There are all these secret paths and hidden areas, adding layers to the whole thing. You can wishlist it now if you’re into that.

Then there’s this whole broader picture of the horror game scene, always pumping out something to get the heart racing. From Silent Hill remakes to indie surprises like Poppy Playtime, there’s something for everyone. And, of course, there’s the countdown to games like Reanimal and Little Nightmares 3. But, really, End of Abyss seems to be aiming for that same level of spine-chilling, thought-provoking storytelling. Should be a wild ride when it drops.

So, yeah. Guess I’ll be keeping an eye on my calendar. Yours too?
