Many gamers love a good, eerie, adrenaline-racing zombie game. It might seem strange during the time of a pandemic, but post-apocalyptic games do well on the market regardless. It is also worth noting that Halloween, a celebration of scares and when plenty of classic horror games have seen their release, is coming in two months.
Fortunately, some of these titles are set to be released this year. From the highly anticipated Dying Light 2 to the spicy rumor of Resident Evil 4: Remake, here are the top ten horror games we’re looking forward to seeing in the second half of 2020.
10 Dying Light 2 (TBA)
It’s been two years since Techland announced Dying Light 2 during E3 2018. Set roughly fifteen years after the first Dying Light game events, Dying Light 2 will let players control Aiden Caldwell, an apocalypse survivor with over-the-top parkour skills trying to survive the dead city.
Unfortunately, following the sexual misconduct allegations against Chris Avellone, the game’s lead writer, Techland has parted way with him, leaving the development of Dying Light 2 in limbo.
9 Remothered: Broken Porcelain (October)
As the game title suggests, Remothered: Broken Porcelain is a straight sequel to 2018 award-winning Remothered: Tormented Fathers. Set in Ashmann Inn, Broken Porcelain will center around the rebellious boarding school girl Jen trying to connect the dots to reveal her manor’s gruesome history.
After all, Broken Porcelain is the missing link we all need to Tormented Fathers. If you enjoyed navigating Dr. Richard Felton’s mansion and diving into its secrets, look out for this game on October 20, 2020.
8 Resident Evil 4: Remake (Rumor)
Up to this writing, Capcom has released two remakes of its classic horror hits: Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. With that being said, it’s no surprise if they’re working on Resident Evil 4. This is all supposition on the part of players, but with some promising rumors abounding.
Unfortunately, as the team is gearing up for Village, there aren’t too many details to be told about the remake. So, fingers crossed.
7 Resident Evil: Village (More Details Coming This Year)
Following the lackluster acceptance of Resident Evil 6, Capcom made a comeback to the franchise’s original horror roots with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and it was a massive success.
Its sequel, Resident Evil Village, is set to see a 2021 release. With an update coming, fans are more than amped for Resident Evil Village, even though our favorite BSAA hero Chris Redfield will likely take more of an antagonistic role.
6 Dead Island 2 (TBA)
Remember the highly anticipated Dead Island 2? It’s not your fault if you don’t because the game has seen a plethora of shifts along the way. First, Techland worked on developing it back in 2012 before the Polish video game company set its focus on developing Dying Light instead. Since then, Dead Island 2 has moved from one developer to another, from Yager Development to Dambuster Studio.
However, Yager’s leak of under-developed Dead Island 2 gameplay surfaced online in June this year. This has given fans a bit of faith, so, here’s hoping.
5 The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope (October)
Although this may not be classified as a straightforward ‘zombie’ game, Little Hope has all the similar elements to spook its players. The sophomore title of The Dark Pictures Anthology series and the sequel to Man of Medan will be set around four college students and their professor as they’re stranded in the fictional dead city of Little Hope.
Just like its predecessor, Little Hope will have branching storylines with plenty of endings to discover. If you’re hyped already, be prepared for its release on October 30.
4 Back 4 Blood (TBA)
Remember the good old days of Left 4 Dead? Turtle Rock, formerly known as Valve South, took to Twitter last July to share the first concept art of the upcoming Left 4 Dead-inspired game, Back 4 Blood.
Although the release date for this game hasn’t been revealed so far, expect Back 4 Blood to be released for PS4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows platforms.
3 The Walking Dead Onslaught (September)
Not to be confused with Telltale’s The Walking Dead, VR-supported Walking Dead Onslaught has an entirely separate graphic style and storyline than its spiritual predecessor. It will center the story of five different survivors with only a few moral lines left to cross: Rick, Daryl, Carol, Michonne, and Eugene. It was set to release back in 2019 but was later delayed until September 2020.
2 Undead Nightmare 2 (Rumor)
A recent Halloween update leak for Red Dead Redemption 2 has led many fans to theorize there will be another Undead Nightmare. On top of that, the recent Naturalist update didn’t sit right with most fans, and Rockstar’s only way out to make big bank off RDR2 could be an Undead Nightmare 2.
Still, there is not ground to confirm anything about this expansion pack, but there is nothing wrong with hoping for it with Halloween coming soon.
1 Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Quarantine (TBA)
Set several years in the future after the events of the Rainbow Six universe, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Quarantine will be a tactical co-op shooting game that promises a brand new, more radical experience of survival.
Up to this writing, there is no other information about the game’s exact release date except that it is potentially between now and March 2021.
