What’s Your Most Anticipated Horror Game?

I want to know what your most anticipated horror game(s) is right now. And please, take your time. This is a safe place for you to sift through the enormous selection of titles that pepper the still mostly hazy 2016-2017 release schedule. I’ll even help you make a decision that represents you as an individual, because you’re not a comment on a website, you’re a whole bunch of wet and squishy stuff packed inside a person-shaped skin bag that sometimes enjoys exploring virtual worlds inhabited by monsters and an assortment of other horrors.

This is a wildly open-ended question, so let’s start with what’s coming up within the next few months. We have the finale of The Walking Dead: Michonne next week, as well as the console release of The Park (PS4, XBO) and Neverending Nightmares (PS4) in the first week of May. Then we have an avalanche of demons in the new Doom, followed by a stampede of zombies in the remastered Dead Island Definitive Collection to cap off the month. We might also get Narcosis.

June starts strong with Insomniac’s Oculus Rift exclusive Lovecraftian horror game Edge of Nowhere — one of many virtual reality horror games we’re looking forward to right now — and after that, Umbrella Corps and PAMELA.

In the more distant future that’s still 2016, we have the third season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead, Allison Road, Visage, Friday the 13th: The Game, Last Year, Outlast II, Perception, Inner Chains, Dead by Daylight, The Hum: Abductions, and Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, among so many others.

And in 2017: Dead Island 2 (probably), Draugen, Vampyr, Overkill’s The Walking Dead, Routine, System Shock 3, and remakes of the original System Shock, Resident Evil 2, and Pathologic.

That’s hardly everything, but it should give you an idea of the horrors to come.

So, which horror game(s) are you most looking forward to?

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
