Scorn
Next-Gen Horror Games
Though the specifics of Scorn‘s story and gameplay still haven’t been revealed, what is known about it is reason enough to be excited.
Set in an alien world out of a body horror nightmare, the game tasks players with uncovering the secrets behind the world they’re in and making their way toward an exit via first person shooter gameplay. Though the world holds untold horrors, they’ll be able to fight back with a number of strange and powerful weapons, from a standard pistol to a three-barreled rifle that launches organic spikes to impale foes.
It’s all portrayed in an art style inspired by the works of H.R. Giger and Zdzislaw Beksiński, giving the game the same look and feel as exploring the dark and dismal extraterrestrial locals found in the Aliens franchise.
Potential players will still have some time to wait until they can get their hands on the next-gen horror title – especially since it still only has a tentative release window of 2021 for Xbox Series X and PC – but all signs so far` point to it being well worth the wait.
