Physical PS5 Release Announced for Underwater Horror Title ‘Dark Mass’ [Trailer]
Path Games provided an update for its in-development underwater haunted house title Dark Mass, revealing that the game will receive a physical release for PlayStation 5 as both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition. The reveal also coincides with a new trailer that delves into the gameplay.
Dark Mass sees players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who, alongside her brother Reed, stumbles upon the wreckage of an ancient ship. But beneath the ship lies they discover a manor lost to time, eerily untouched despite spending centuries in the ocean.
Alice decides to venture inside, but she soon realises that something is watching from the darkness, bound to the manor by a dark curse. Trapped within the manor’s decaying halls, Alice must now uncover the manor’s tragic past, solve puzzles based on real historical torture rituals, and make decisions that will ultimately define her fate.
Both the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition will be published by SelectaPlay, with the Collector’s Edition having been designed “for horror fans and collectors,” bringing together a selection of physical items inspired by Alice’s journey, the mystery of the sunken manor and the unsettling atmosphere of the abyss.
The Standard Edition includes a physical copy of the game, along with an illustrated manual. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition includes the physical copy and manual, along with the following:
- Collector’s Box
- Official Art Book
- Lenticular postcard
- Alice’s turtle bracelet
- Original Soundtrack in Digipack format
- Exclusive Steelbook
In addition to the PlayStation 5, Dark Mass will be coming to the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The game is currently aiming for a fall 2026 release.
Just over a year since its launch on Steam, Binary Lunar‘s psychological horror title Nightmare Shift will be heading to consoles starting this month. The game will hit the Xbox Series on July 30, while the PlayStation 5 version will launch on August 13. If you’re undecided, you can also check out the demo on Steam.
Nightmare Shift is centered on night-shift workers at a motel. Players take on the role of Emma, whose everyday life grows increasingly unsettling. Between handling unsettling guests and navigating eerie events, Emma’s apartment life is not much better. Experiences the unease of being watched and question what’s real as the line between reality and nightmare blurs.
Players will navigate the daily tasks of Emma’s job and home life, only to realize that routine can be a mask for something far more sinister. You’ll encounter individuals whose motives are unclear, with each interaction bringing you closer to the truth—or deeper into paranoia. Who can you trust when everyone seems suspicious?
Drawing on films in the style of Lee Kwon‘s 2018 Korean film Door Lock, among others. Completing the game takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, and offers different endings based on the player’s choices.
