Eerie New Underwater Horror Game Released

Dark Mass, the latest psychological horror game announced by Spanish developers Path Games, promises an enthralling experience set entirely beneath the ocean’s surface. Slated for a 2026 launch, this chilling adventure will be available on the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Based in Barcelona, Path Games emerged on the scene in 2017 with a vision to craft distinctive horror experiences rich in immersive storytelling. Their first title, Insomnis, released in 2022, laid the groundwork with its eerie atmosphere and innovative gameplay.

Dark Mass is set to deepen the intrigue as a follow-up, embracing the psychological horror genre but with a unique twist—it submerges players into the haunting depths of an underwater realm. Stepping into the shoes of Alice, a deep-sea diver, players will navigate a submerged manor unearthed after a seismic event. Trapped in its labyrinthine corridors, Alice must unravel cryptic rituals rooted in ancient lore to escape.

Drawing heavily from historical tortures, Dark Mass weaves a narrative that’s both fantastical and grimly realistic. The initial trailer teases players with glimpses of its chilling underwater world, populated with creatures that, though fictitious, anchor the game’s otherworldly ambiance in gritty authenticity.

Committed to offering more than a fleeting horror encounter, Path Games ensures that players of Dark Mass will enjoy a substantial campaign, estimated to last four to six hours per playthrough. But it doesn’t end there—choices made throughout the game will influence the storyline, promising significant replay value. Alice’s journey is intertwined with her brother Reed, maintaining their connection through a walkie-talkie system that could steer their fate in unknown directions.

Aiming for a fall 2026 release, Dark Mass is shaping up to captivate fans of the horror genre, particularly those drawn to the terrifying allure of the ocean. With its sinister settings and ritualistic challenges, it stands ready to enthrall players who thrive on suspense and scares.
