New PS4 and PS5 Exclusive Horror Game Releasing Later This Month

As a devoted PlayStation enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that a brand-new exclusive game for PS4 and PS5 is set to drop on August 25! Being console exclusive means this chilling masterpiece will only grace the screens of PlayStation gamers, making it an unmissable experience for us. For those who have already tasted fear via Steam (since last year), they’ve had a sneak peek, but rest assured, PlayStation users are in store for even more terrifying fun, complete with a significant update launching simultaneously on August 25th. So gear up, fellow PlayStation fans, because the awaited horror game is here to give us a heart-pounding adventure exclusively ours!

The game under discussion goes by the name of Zoochosis, created by Clapperheads who have previously developed only one other title, Sparky Marky from 2023. Some inexperience may be evident in Zoochosis, given its varied reception. However, its concept is intriguing, and it’s rare to find horror games launching these days, especially console exclusives on PlayStation.

The game Zoochosis is a heart-stopping horror simulation set in a zoo, where you take on the role of a new zookeeper starting their first night shift, as described in the game’s official synopsis for intrigued players. As you don your bodycam and carry out your duties, you become aware of peculiar behavior from certain animals in their enclosures that is unlike anything you’ve ever encountered. A horrifying parasite is taking hold, causing some of the animals to transform into grotesque, bloodthirsty creatures eager to kill you for their freedom. Your task is to identify the infected animals and create vaccines to heal them before the parasite runs rampant across the entire zoo. Solve the zoo’s mysteries and save the animals to save yourself, as your decisions will ultimately shape your outcome. Will you make it through the night?

As a gamer here, I’m bummed to share that I can’t pre-order Zoochosis on the PlayStation Store just yet. The price on PSN isn’t clear right now, but if it follows the same pricing as Steam where it retails for $24.99, that’s what I’d expect. However, there’s no chatter about PlayStation 5 Pro support for this upcoming horror game either, so we’ll just have to wait and see!

Players who decide to play “Zoochosis” on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or PlayStation 5 Pro should be prepared for a relatively brief gaming experience, typically lasting around two to three hours. For those seeking to complete every aspect of the horror game, however, expect a time investment closer to five to six hours.
