Carnival of Terror
Supermassive Games has already won over a crypt full of horror game fans with its super-creepy anthology seriesThe Dark Pictures— And it seems that the fun is only just beginning, as the studio has filed trademarks for further potential entries in its grim library of frightening features.
Yesterday, on the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO),five new listingsappeared for as-yet-unannounced titles inThe Dark Picturesanthology. While it should be made clear that this does not necessarily guarantee that all five games will be developed and published, itisa clear sign that Supermassive is far from finished with its spooky-ooky franchise.
The five trademarked titles are as follows:
The new games, if any, will join previous Supermassive releasesThe Dark Pictures: Man of Medan(2019),The Dark Pictures: Little Hope(2020), andThe Dark Pictures: House of Ashes(2021). While the titles are perhaps not the most non-linear of video games, they have won over horror fans with their intriguing stories, varied settings, and tense, branching gameplay.
The Dark Picturesis essentially a digital ghost train, one that many will continue to purchase tickets for. It would behoove Supermassive Games to continue the series while it remains profitable. If you want to get up to speed, thenThe Dark Picturestrilogy is available now on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms.
