Highly Anticipated Creepshow Video Game Unveils First Look & Release Window in New Trailer

Way back in 2022, AMC and Dread XP announced a video game adaptation of the popular horror anthology franchise, Creepshow. Since then, we’ve heard next to nothing about the project. That has left horror fans wondering whether Creepshow‘s video game installment would ever come to pass. But at long last, the Creepshow adaptation has re-emerged with a brand-new trailer and, even better, a confirmed release window.

Creepshow is an anthology horror series, spanning all manner of horror subgenres. The officially licensed video game will embody this same spirit, offering players an episodic video game full of frights. Today’s announcement trailer gives fans a first look at the video game adaptation of Creepshow. DreadXP and AMC have also confirmed that the Creepshow video game will release in August 2026 for PC via Steam. That’s perfect timing to dive into some horror goodness for spooky season.

Creepshow Video Game Resurfaces with New Trailer

The Creepshow video game is being developed by PHL Games and published by Dread XP, in partnership with AMC Global Media. It is the first video game adaptation of Shudder’s Creepshow TV series and will follow a similar, anthology-style format. This will let PHL explore a variety of horror genres from psychological horror to black humor and beyond. The self-contained format will also explore multiple unique gameplay styles, offering a varied buffet for longtime Creepshow fans and newcomers to enjoy. And it’s officially launching this August for PC via Steam.

Though we’ve known a Creepshow video game was in the works for a while, today’s official announcement trailer is our first real look at the project. It’s under a minute long, but still offers an enticing teaser of what’s to come. It shows off the game’s comicbook-inspired art style and a handful of the horror mini-games that await when players step into the Creepshow game this fall. If you’re eager to get a first look at this upcoming horror game, you can check out the brand-new announcement trailer below:

The Creepshow game will capture the look and feel of the comic books that inspired the original 1982 movie. While drawing inspiration from the four seasons of the Creepshow TV series on Shudder, the game features a brand new story. Players follow Danny as he investigates his father’s past, and his search leads him to a spooky fortune-teller who loves to share frightening stories.

We don’t know many details about the game beyond the basic idea and the short preview, but players should be ready for surprises. Patrick Ewald, CEO of DreadXP, says the developers have worked hard to make the game feel like a real Creepshow episode—something fans who have been waiting since the last season in 2023 will likely enjoy.

Currently, the game will only be released on PC. Creepshow is launching in August and you can add it to your Steam wishlist today.
