‘BrokenLore: DON’T LIE’ Announced for 2026 Release on PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Serafini Productions followed up on that tease last month regarding a new BrokenLore title at Tokyo Game Show, announcing BrokenLore: DON’T LIE, which will be published by Wired Productions. No release date was announced for DON’T LIE, but the game will be coming to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
BrokenLore: DON’T LIE, a first-person psychological horror game, dives deeper into the fragmented mythology that ties the series together. Despite this, DON’T LIE is a standalone title, allowing for fans familiar with the series and newcomers to experience a new self-contained story full of deceit, paranoia and fear.
The game centers on Junko, who lives trapped inside her small apartment, drifting between loneliness and madness as her fragile reality reaches its breaking point. Lies, hallucinations, and terrifying visions blur the line between what’s real and what’s not, twisting the familiar into disturbing liminal spaces where nothing can be trusted. All the while, Junko attempts to reconnect with two patients in a rehabilitation center. Above all, just remember: DON’T LIE.
Details on gameplay are still forthcoming, but as part of Junko’s attempts to piece together her memories, she must search through the liminal spaces and eerie locations for clues. However, she must also deal with the hallucinations that stalk her. As a result, players will need to rely on stealth and hide in order to survive.

VR Survival Horror Title ‘Into the Dead: Crimson Heights’ Announced for Meta, Steam [Trailer]
PikPok are expanding their Into The Dead series into the survival horror realm with their new VR title Into the Dead: Crimson Heights. Described as a Hyper Reality survival horror game, the title uses state-of-the-art technology to push beyond the existing boundaries of roomscale Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality games to create a “world-first” player experience.
This new entry expands upon the Walton City zombie outbreak that was first depicted in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days (which is currently in Early Access on Steam). Set during the first hours of the outbreak, Crimson Heights is a fresh entry in the franchise, using Hyper Reality technology to scan a player’s environment, turning their real-world furniture into in-game architecture and cover to create a new kind of immersive, reactive game world.
“At PikPok, we are constantly looking at fun and engaging ways to provide new and unique gaming experiences,” explains PikPok CEO Mario Wynands. “So with that very much in mind, we are excited to finally reveal Into the Dead: Crimson Heights, which combines tense stealth, tactical exploration and thrilling combat in a unique, body-driven experience.”
Into the Dead: Crimson Heights is currently in development for Hyper Reality on Meta and Virtual Reality on Steam, and is planned for release during 2027.
