Ghostwire: Tokyo
Next-Gen Horror Games
Leaning more toward the adrenaline-pumping action side of the horror spectrum, Ghostwire: Tokyo offers a more high-octane spin on supernatural happenings.
Following the disappearance of 99 percent of Tokyo’s populace due to unexplainable happenings, the city’s survivors are plagued by a wide variety of ghosts, ghouls and other apparitions. They, along with whoever caused the sudden disappearances, are intent on emptying the city of the living, and will rest at nothing to eliminate anyone in their way.
It’s amid this chaos that players takes the role of one of the few survivors, who have gained supernatural abilities for unknown reasons. Intent on escaping the situation and learning what caused the mass disappearances, they’ll need to use their new abilities alongside martial arts to battle back apparitions, collect clues regarding what happened to the city and track down the ones responsible for all the chaos.
It’s a pretty wild concept and blend of gameplay elements, but from what’s been shown of the game so far, it looks to be a worthwhile combination. Plus, it has Shinji Mikami of Resident Evil and The Evil Within fame acting as an executive producer.
Needless to say, fans of the genre will want to keep an eye out for the next-gen title when it releases sometime in 2021 on PlayStation 5 and PC.
