A mystery horror game is reportedly in development for PS6 — but nobody knows who's making it
Sony's PS6 software lineup is almost completely blank right now. Hideo Kojima's stealth-action game Physint is the only confirmed title for the platform, and even that is still years away from release. So a new report claiming a second PS6 game is already in development is worth paying attention to — even if the details are thin.
The claim
Gaming outlet MP1ST reports that an unconfirmed horror game with shooter elements is in active development for PS6, built on Unreal Engine 5. The project reportedly uses motion-capture technology and features some kind of character progression system. That's about all that's publicly known — the studio name and project title remain undisclosed.
MP1ST has a reasonable track record on PS6 hardware leaks, including accurate early details on SSD specs and cloud infrastructure. Game announcements are a different matter, though, and this report carries no official confirmation from Sony or any developer.
The Bloober angle
The outlet notes the game is being made in collaboration with a third-party studio rather than an internal Sony team. One name that keeps coming up in speculation is Bloober Team — the Polish studio behind the Silent Hill 2 remake and Layers of Fear. CEO Piotr Babieno recently confirmed the studio has seven horror projects in active development simultaneously, which gives the speculation some plausible footing. Bloober Team has not commented on the report.
The game is also said to be separate from Firesprite's Project Heartbreak — a title that surfaced in a 2024 leak and was widely speculated to be Until Dawn 2. Firesprite went through significant layoffs that year, leaving that project's future uncertain.
What to expect
PS6 is widely expected to launch between 2027 and 2028, based on Sony's own filings. Microsoft's next-gen software plans are similarly opaque, so both platform holders appear to be holding their cards close. If this mystery horror title is real, a formal announcement is likely still a long way off — and the developer behind it remains anyone's guess for now.
