ILL

Team Clout has announced that first-person action survival horror game ILL launches in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. A new trailer for ILL was released at the June 2 State of Play.

Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:

ILL is a realistic first-person action survival horror game that challenges even the most seasoned fans of the genre. The game plunges you into a grim world with an eerie, atmospheric story where every minute keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The game developers are horror experts and have experience working with well-known directors. Their work can be seen in various movies and series like Longlegs, Until Dawn, V/H/S/Beyond, It: Welcome to Derry, Azrael, and more. Now, the team is aiming to fulfill their dream and create a game that will claw its way into your consciousness and expose your true fears layer by layer.

A Realistic and Terrifying Experience

The game immerses you in its tense narrative that unfolds at a huge research fort. A mysterious source of evil and the horrific Aberrations it generates stand in the way of the main character saving what’s most precious. ILL makes you feel every second of your struggle for survival.

Intense Body Horror and Bone-Chilling Audio

ILL pushes the limits of the genre with gory realism: grotesque monsters can be maimed and mercilessly torn to pieces. Shredded flesh, exposed bones, and eviscerated carcasses will make an unprecedented impression and shock you to the core. The binaural audio system amplifies the emotional impact, allowing you to feel the agony in every scream.

Dynamic Enemy Behavior and Realistic Physics

Enemies are unpredictable, and the realistic physics make the environment not just a backdrop but an active part of the gameplay, including when solving puzzles. Your actions can affect the monsters’ behavior and trigger unexpected reactions; they react to their surroundings on impulse and exhibit disturbingly human-like reflexes.

Tactical Weapon and Resource Management

You’ll feel the weight of every weapon in your hands with elaborate animations that reflect its unique physical properties. Accuracy alone isn’t enough—you’ll have to check your diverse arsenal for defects, modify your weapons, and upgrade them. Strategic inventory management is crucial to your survival. Your ability to create an item could determine the outcome of the battle.

Phantom Blade Zero Delayed to October 29

Phantom Blade Zero delayed

S-GAME has announced that upcoming action RPG Phantom Blade Zero has been delayed from its original September 9 release date to October 29 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.  After entering the final stages of development, S-GAME CEO and Phantom Blade Zero creator Soulframe determined that more time was needed in polishing the game before launch, resulting in the delay.

You can read the full statement from Soulframe below:

Hello everyone, As many of you just saw in today’s State of Play, pre-orders for Phantom Blade Zero will open this summer!

At the same time, I want to share another update: Phantom Blade Zero will now launch on October 29, 2026, moved from its previous date of September 9, 2026.

First of all, I want to offer my sincere apologies to all the players who have been following and supporting us. This was not an easy decision. More than anyone, we understand the expectations our players have placed on us. And precisely because of those expectations, we do not want to release Phantom Blade Zero knowing there is still an opportunity to take it one step further.

Looking back over the past few years, the development of Phantom Blade Zero has been a thrilling journey of evolution. As we built the game, we continued learning, refining our technology, and expanding the scale and resources behind the project. From its first reveal in 2023, to its first offline hands-on demo in 2024, to the Seven-Star Sword Formation, Lion Dance, and Drunken Sword showcased in 2025, Phantom Blade Zero has continued to evolve year after year, with each new showing representing a clear leap forward from the last. And we have shared that evolution with players around the world every step of the way.

Over the past few months, we have been streamlining content and focusing our efforts on polishing the areas that matter most. During this process, I saw one final opportunity for Phantom Blade Zero to make another meaningful leap forward.

We have upgraded a number of character models and reworked many environments across the game, pushing them toward the highest standard we can currently achieve. We have also spent additional effort preserving as much of this visual impact as possible even without relying on ray tracing. Of course, ray tracing will further enhance the visuals, but our priority is to make sure the core look, atmosphere, and intensity of Phantom Blade Zero come through at full force for as many players as possible.

A 50-day delay cannot solve everything. But it does give us enough time to complete a number of clearly defined and genuinely important improvements. These refinements will directly affect how the game feels when players first step into the world of Phantom Blade Zero. We could have delivered some of them through post-launch updates, but for the players who choose to join us on day one, we believe they deserve the best version of Phantom Blade Zero we can deliver from the very beginning.

I am truly sorry for the delay, and I want to thank everyone who has continued to follow and support Phantom Blade Zero. This summer, we will have much more to show you. I believe every extra day of waiting will be worth it.

I’d also like to share what you can expect next:

1. A new trailer that will release alongside pre-orders, featuring entirely new in-game footage.

2. After pre-order opens, we will also have a dedicated State of Play focused entirely on Phantom Blade Zero: a 15-to-20-minute deep dive into the game’s world, combat, exploration, and character progression systems. The vast majority of what we show there will be brand-new.

We will share the exact dates in upcoming announcements!

Once again, thank you all for your continued support! 

Soulframe
S-GAME CEO / Creator of Phantom Blade Zero

Originally announced at the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase, Phantom Blade Zero quickly caught the attention of players with its compelling combat and visuals. Pre-registration is currently available now at the official website while fans wait for the full release.

Until Dawn 2 Officially Announced, Releases in 2027

Until Dawn 2

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Firesprite Games have announced Until Dawn 2, the long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed Until Dawn. Featuring a completely standalone story, Until Dawn 2 is currently in development for a 2027 release on PlayStation 5.

Get the latest details below, via PlayStation Blog: 

Brand new story

Our cast this time is a crew of ghost hunters, the faces behind the wildly popular paranormal channel, Dead True.. Only, well… they’ve never actually seen anything supernatural. The scares they are known for are, let’s say, a little staged. But all that changes when for the very first time, they come face-to-face with real horrors and must start living up to their reputation to survive until dawn.

Having just signed a deal with a big TV network, the crew gets shipped off to an abandoned tropical island for their first fully funded episode. At first, it’s all sun, sand, secrets… plus some very not-safe-for-the-workplace drama as their complicated relationships bubble to the surface.

Of course, there’s more to this beautiful island than meets the eye. Beneath this blissful exterior, hide dreadful and heartbreaking secrets – centuries old and hungry for vengeance… and our crew have landed right in the middle of it.

Chasing likes might have brought them here, but survival quickly becomes the only metric that counts. Will you help them escape to tell the world their story, or will they become just another haunted legend, claimed by the island?

Choice and consequence

Would it even be an Until Dawn game without gut-wrenching decisions? Will you risk injury to save a cute baby boar from a gnarly bear trap? Keep a scandalous affair going, even if it could blow up the group? Push someone to their breaking point, all for the sake of content that your intimidating boss says you need to get?

This time, how you manage relationships within the crew matters more than ever, with some branches based on where things stand between characters. It’s not just the huge moments, even small character moments can set off a Butterfly Effect, sending your story spinning off towards unforeseen consequences…
