New ‘Paranormal Activity’ Video Game Coming in 2026 From ‘The Mortuary Assistant’ Team (EXCLUSIVE)
Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer A new video game based on Paramount’s “Paranormal Activity” horror franchise is slated to release in 2026 from DreadXP, the publisher of hit horror video game “The Mortuary Assistant.” Per DreadXP and Paramount Global, the “Paranormal Activity” video game “will bring the franchise’s groundbreaking found-footage style to horror enthusiasts in surprising new ways, immersing them in a story that expands upon the lore and world of the films.” The title, which will be available across multiple platforms, will include an advanced version of the “Haunt System” that will “dynamically alter the types and intensity of scares players will encounter based on their actions.” DreadXP co-director and creative director Brian Clarke (DarkStone Digital), the main developer on “The Mortuary Assistant,” is leading the development of the “Paranormal Activity” video game. Beginning with the first “Paranormal Activity” film in 2007, the seven-film franchise from Blumhouse and Solana Films is credited with reimagining the “found footage” horror genre.
