A scary new teaser shows that Bloodious Games’ horrific 2022 horror thriller Madison will be coming to Sony’s upcoming PlayStation VR2. Madison, the PT-influenced horror game that has been the focus of several internet videos of streamers frightening themselves crazy, should be a spine-chilling addition to the Sony headset’s ever-growing collection of VR horror games.
Madison, a first-person horror game set to be released in 2022 on PC and consoles, is inspired by Hideo Kojima’s shelved PT project. The unusual horror thriller, which has gritty, realistic graphics and appropriately creepy sound design throughout, does not offer players any weapons to combat the demonic monsters that inhabit the game environment. Instead, gamers use a primary camera to solve puzzles, reveal mysteries, and deliver really horrific jump scares. Madison’s release for Sony’s headgear puts it in the company of one of the gaming industry’s greatest horror heavyweights, with a PS VR2 version of Resident Evil 8 releasing as the device’s debut game.
Madison developer and Bloodious Games CEO Alexis Di Stefano unveiled the PS VR2 adaptation of the famous horror game in a teaser posted as part of publisher Perp Games’ PS VR2 demo. The developer appeared over a video of Madison’s flatscreen debut and thanked fans for their support before stating that it will be coming to PS VR2. Despite the lack of a release date, Di Stefano indicated that the PS VR2 edition of Madison will raise the game to a “whole new level,” making the first-person horror thriller scarier than ever. The sudden revelation of a PS VR2 adaptation of Madison, which closes off the video with an unexpected jump fright, is likely to be welcomed news for both fans of the original game and anyone eager for a whole new way to enjoy horror games.
Madison’s flatscreen edition already has a reputation for being one of the most horrifying games in recent years, so fans will definitely be interested to see how Bloodious Games heightens the suspense with Madison’s VR release. The Perp Games demonstration included a video of the Escape from Tarkov-influenced Ghosts of Tabor and the PS VR2 version of the survival game Song in the Smoke, as well as more light-hearted games like an adaptation of the classic rhythm game Synth Riders.
The PlayStation VR2 is shaping up to be the primary method to experience the most of what horror gaming has to offer, thanks to its high-resolution graphics and breakthrough features like eye tracking and superior haptics. Fortunately, plenty of family-friendly games are coming to PS VR2 for those who don’t want to frighten themselves silly with a screen attached to their face.
