Two months after making an appearance at PAX East 2026, DreadXP and DarkStone Digital’s Paranormal Activity: Threshold has unfortunately been cancelled. Brian Clarke of DarkStone Digital took to X to announce that development on the game has ceased. Indeed, the listing for the game on Steam now reads that the game is no longer available on the store.
In the post, despite the positive feedback the devteam received at PAX East regarding the demo, it was becoming clear according to Clarke that the game needed more time, particularly with the project being a solo indie title. DreadXP agreed, and had made a request to Paramount for an extension for the game’s development time.
Unfortunately, Paramount declined the request.
According to Clarke, this left him with two choices: Rush through development and release a sub-par product, or request that DarkStone leave the project. Clarke chose the latter.
Despite the cancellation, DreadXP stood by Brian “every step of the way,” and the split was amicable. “It was an honor to even be considered to work on an IP I love so much.”
As for what’s next, Brian says that he’s not going anywhere. Other than a small vacation, Clarke says he’s excited and eager to return to his “corner of horror” to work on the next project.
Paranormal Activity: Threshold was to follow Daniel and Jessica Stewart as they record the process of remodeling their first home. The more they documented their renovations, the more they would realize that the house is hiding much more than just asbestos and faulty wiring.
