Phasmophobia will finally be releasing into version 1.0 next year, which is a comprehensive update that the game’s creator says will feel “like playing a new game.” Details are intentionally scarce so that players will be able to go into the updated game and discover what’s new for themselves.
Phasmophobia creator Daniel Knight spoke to Eurogamer about the upcoming overhaul, which is being called Horror 2.0–despite the fact that its release will coincide with game version 1.0. “We’re basically going to be reworking the entire horror in the game,” Knight said. “So everything is going to be changing.”
As far as what “reworking the horror” looks like in practice, we may not find out until the update is released. “I can’t reveal too much because when we release the update, we’re just going to tell everyone there’s a new update, go and play,” Knight explained. “We’re not going to do too many patch notes. We just want people to go in. Almost like they’re playing a new game.”
