‘TerrorDrome’ Team Developing New Horror Fighting Game ‘TerrorDrome: Reign of the Legends’
Before Friday the 13th: The Game came along and horror icons like Freddy and Jason made their way into Mortal Kombat, there was TerrorDrome, an unofficial, fan-made fighting game that brought together all our favorite movie monsters for epic battles to the death. The team behind the game is back with TerrorDrome: Reign of the Legends!
This brand new game under the TerrorDrome banner is sadly doing away with licensed horror characters in an effort to be more official and, ya know, less illegal, but it’s staying true to the TerrorDrome name by being an all-horror fighting game in the style of Mortal Kombat. Instead of movie icons, Reign of the Legends is being billed as “the first horror fighting game with classic monsters, urban legends and mythological creatures.”
“Horror icons and urban legends clash in a battle to the death in Terrordrome: Reign of the Legends, an original fighting game from the team that brought you Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen. TRDM: ROTL explores legends, folklore, myths and the paranormal both in its characters and stages, while incorporating conspiracy theories as the base material for the storyline. Legends and icons are re-imagined in a story set in the present day, continuing the legacy of many of the world’s favorite monsters and cryptids.”
The game will feature 10 characters in the initial roster (11 if the team hits their Cassie Hack stretch goal), with an estimated release in Q4 2019. An early access version will be available Q4 2018. All backers that purchase the full game will have early access to beta builds up until the release of that early access version.
Down the road, Season 2 and 3 are planned to be released in the form of DLC and consists of additional characters and the continuation of the main story.

Ahead of its participation in the upcoming June Steam Next Fest, developer Genie Boy Games unveiled the 30-minute Steam demo for their upcoming psychological horror title T.W.I.R.L., a horror game about growing up in 2006 and harboring a deep secret that must be protected for life. The developer’s debut title will launch on Steam later this year, followed by releases on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.
Routines, rituals, and relationships may define us, but T.W.I.R.L. asks: what’s your deepest, darkest secret? Stay silent as a nine-year-old boy creeping out of his bedroom at 3:00 a.m. while everyone’s asleep. Feel the weight of every step forward while being followed by a demon…? A Person? Or is it something else?
Tiptoe through the haunted nostalgia of 2006, where a presence beyond evil draws players through P.T.-inspired loops, changing the environment to unveil the life story of a boy who grows up hiding a deep, dark, and potentially sinister secret.
In the new demo, players will roam through a 30-minute-long experience introducing a family, their house, and the unspoken mystery hiding within.
“Of many things, T.W.I.R.L. is a challenge to look fear in the eye, and see it for what it is: nothing,” said Ben Escobar, founder of Genie Boy Games. “Through our story about childhood secrets, the loss of innocence, and growing up in 2006, we hope that our game inspires you to embrace a rediscovery of self, and an acceptance of your lifelong fears.”
