Sure! Here goes:

So, get this, at the Summer Game Fest 2025, something wild just happened. Section 9 Interactive and Epic Games dropped a bombshell with their new sci-fi survival horror game, End of Abyss. Honestly, the name alone gives me chills. But it’s not just the name, right? This game is mixing body horror and eerie exploration with this top-down FPS thing. Kinda like making a smoothie with horror tropes and… I dunno, a Nintendo Switch? Anyway, it’s weird, but in a good way. Maybe.

People are already saying it’s got some vibes like Inside and Little Nightmares. And I gotta agree—even if I haven’t seen everything yet—if that plays out, we’re in for some serious goosebumps.

So Section 9, they’re like the coolest kids on the block at this fest, right? With veterans from Little Nightmares and LittleBigPlanet working there, teaming up with Epic Games. It’s as if a bunch of horror movie buffs decided to throw a rave and somehow ended up creating an EPIC game instead. Whoops, I tangent. But you get me.

And let me tell you, the Summer Game Fest wasn’t just about one game. They also teased the next Resident Evil and some mind-bending indie horror stuff that I can’t even wrap my head around yet. This one game—End of Abyss—really got people buzzing though. It’s got a unique angle—literally, like “something’s not sticking” weird—and maybe I’m overthinking it, or maybe it’s genius. Or both?

Here, the trailer for End of Abyss tossed us into the storyline with this young techie named Cel. She’s wandering through some sketchy underground setup—finding things that are, I’m guessing, not Martha Stewart-approved. She’s battling these horrific creatures, and, honestly, I’m just thinking: Good luck, Cel! But seriously, it’s this abandoned world and nothing she bumps into is remotely human. The game’s got this gear system that’s wicked cool—upgrades and fighting baddies, like you’re some kind of futuristic MacGyver. Whatever, it drops in 2026 for PC, PS5, and the new Xbox thing. Just mark your calendars or something.

Oh! The reveal trailer, almost forgot to mention—it shows this mix of action and exploration. Like venturing into a haunted IKEA that changes every time you visit. How does that even work? I dunno, but people seem intrigued by how it all blends, the top-down FPS or whatever.

By now, horror fans—us, them—are freaking out over this lineup of spooky games coming our way. From the Silent Hill 2 remake to some indie darling like Poppy Playtime, and now this—End of Abyss could be, well, who knows? A masterpiece or a jumble of cool, eerie stuff? You decide, not me.

Okay, where was I? Right. Anyway, wanderlust horror fans are probably bookmarking End of Abyss alongside Reanimal and Little Nightmares 3 as their gaming musts. If you’re into creepy, thought-provoking experiences, this might just be your thing. Or maybe you’re just bored. Either way, the game’s going to be out there in 2026 for everyone to unravel. 🤷‍♀️
