Find Out Who, Or What, Took Ethan In This New Trailer For ‘The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter’
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is an upcoming weird-horror game (there’s that term again) that’s being developed by part of the team behind 2011’s bombastic shooter, Bulletstorm, as well as the upcoming Gears of War: Judgment (due out next month). It’s a PC exclusive with a focus on storytelling, and the tale it will tell sounds like a dark one. You play as a detective who has “supernatural” powers that let him recreate crime scenes in his mind. Your goal is to find a boy who’s been kidnapped — sounds sort of like a more supernatural take on Heavy Rain, maybe? — but the mystery deepens when you come across the mutilated corpse of one of his captors. Watch its gorgeous announcement trailer after the break.
That’s all in-game footage, by the way. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter uses the Unreal engine, the same one that powers Gears of War and about a million other games. Look for it on PC later this year.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
