Chilling New Sci-Fi Survival Horror Game “End of Abyss” Unveiled at Summer Game Fest

Summary
So, there was this big deal at Summer Game Fest 2025 where Section 9 Interactive, those folks who’ve been at it with Little Nightmares and whatnot, teamed up with Epic Games for another brain-twister called "End of Abyss." It’s got this mix of body horror stuff – kinda makes me think of smudged ink on an old newspaper – along with some eerie bits and a twisty top-down FPS thing. People are already whispering about it like it’s the next "Inside" or "Little Nightmares." Creepy goodness, hopefully.

Now onto the deets
Section 9 Interactive, yeah, they’re like this band of game-making wizards who stirred magic into Little Nightmares and LittleBigPlanet for the PS VITA. For some reason, I always thought that one had something extra. Anyway, these guys are now messing around with Epic Games, setting up shop at Summer Game Fest 2025 to say “Hey, look at this!” with their new creation, "End of Abyss." It’s like if sci-fi and horror had a twisted little kid who told you spooky bedtime stories that left you all wide-eyed and clutching your pillow. Sounds intense, right?

Speaking of which, the Fest had its fair share of jump scares and surprises. Resident Evil? Yeah, another one’s coming. Nobody saw that coming (insert sarcasm here). Indie games peeked in too, with a mix of charm and creepiness. But this End of Abyss? It’s got folks buzzing, giving off vibes like a haunted dollhouse in a horror flick.

The Trailer & Gameplay
Alright, diving into the trailer: there’s Cel, this young tech-whiz shoved into an unnerving underground lair. Who was the first to say, "That’s a good idea?" As she wanders around, it’s all tension and monster madness. Cel’s like Sherlock in a nightmare, jotting down clues, and knock-knocking on danger’s door. But nothing she meets along the way is, you know, human. She’s essentially gotta MacGyver her way through, with hints at gear upgrades because monsters are like that pesky itch that won’t go away. Got it? Anyway, expect the release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S come 2026.

Comparisons & Expectations
People are already saying it’s like playin’ Inside from Playdead but with a twist, a top-down FPS, spinning the usual formula like a record on repeat suddenly scratching. Gameplay’s supposed to be a mix-up between action and adventure with paths diverging here, there, and everywhere. Players can leave a breadcrumb trail through the Epic Games Store and the PlayStation Store now, kinda like wishlist-shopping a chilling future.

Final Words & Upcoming Games
Horror-loving folks are having a field day with diverse games knocking at their doors recently. Think Silent Hill 2’s coming back, and bite-sized frights like Poppy Playtime have left lasting impressions. Also, peeps are keeping an eye out for the fresh horror wonders like Reanimal and, gasp, Little Nightmares 3. It’s a buffet of terror, really – and with End of Abyss stepping in next year, it’s like a gift that keeps on giving. Here’s to hoping nightmares evolve into something, well, nightmarishly delightful.
