DreadXP and PHL Games have revealed the Creepshow release date, and the anthology horror game based on the Shudder TV series will be creeping onto PCs this Summer.
The game was announced a few years back and has now finally reemerged with a release date of sorts. It’s confirmed that Creepshow will launch on PC this August. No set date in August yet, but still, that’s pretty close, and a nice dose of horror gaming to close out the Summer.
Creepshow Creeps Out in August
Inspired by the hit television series executive-produced by horror legend Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead), the game brings the franchise’s signature blend of wicked scares, twisted humour, and comic-book style dread into a new medium.
Developed by PHL with creative direction from Brian Clarke (The Mortuary Assistant), Creepshow embraces the spirit of the beloved anthology franchise through self-contained tales of terror, delivering dramatic gameplay and shocking surprises.
From psychological horror to the blackest of humour, players will step into stories where death is often the least of their worries. Follow Danny and his friends as they search for the truth of what happened to Danny’s father, which quickly turns dark as they uncover sinister secrets. Fate brings Danny to The Reader, a mysterious fortune-teller, who has a taste for treacherous tales.
The Creepshow series is based on the movies of the same name. The 1982 original film was famously directed by Dawn of the Dead and The Crazies director George A. Romero and written by Stephen King (you might have heard of his books or something). Even then, its formula was anthology horror inspired by 1950s horror comics.
