Original ‘God of War’ Director’s Next Project Will Be a Horror Game
So, where do you go after you’ve come off of the success of the God of War series? For David Jaffe, he’s right back at it with a new project that apparently is more horror oriented.
In a series of tweets, Jaffe states that his next project will be a “single player horror game” that will attempt “something new” with regards to the in-game storytelling. Jaffe hasn’t shown anyone just what he’s working on, but then again, when you have the pedigree of success with the God of War series (as well as the awesome Twisted Metal series), it’s hard to not take notice.
Of course, there’s no guarantee that this idea will see the light of day, but again, that whole thing with success tends to sway people to back it.
I’m designing/writing something new these days. It’s a single player, horror game that is attempting something new with in-game storytelling and I am in love with it.

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
