New Sci-Fi Survival Horror Game “End of Abyss” Unveiled at Summer Game Fest

Okay, so get this! There’s this crazy thing, right? Two game companies, Section 9 Interactive and Epic Games, joined forces to come up with this wild new game called “End of Abyss.” It got spilled out during the 2025 Summer Game Fest. Imagine this combo of sci-fi and survival horror, a bit like mixing hot sauce with your morning coffee — unexpected but kinda intriguing.

So, what’s the deal? You got this game looking like some weird blend of body horror — yep, your skin might crawl just thinking about it — with eerie, wander-around places to explore. And it’s got this top-down FPS style, which for some reason, gives me major old-school arcade vibes. People are already saying it’s like “Inside” and “Little Nightmares” had a creepy digital offspring. Sounds about right.

Anyway, so Section 9 Interactive, this small but mighty team made up of folks who worked on those Little Nightmares games and even LittleBigPlanet PS VITA, gosh, what a mouthful, have unleashed this beast in partnership with Epic Games. Yeah, the same Epic Games that gave us sitting-too-close-to-the-screen Fortnite.

This reveal — or was it more like a spill-the-beans moment? — happened during Summer Game Fest’s main show. Loads of announcements but this one, I swear, snatched a lot of eyeballs. Something about its vibe—so familiar, yet disturbingly fresh. Does that even make sense?

The trailer jumped out with Cel—who’s this young combat techy—and she’s got this mission to crack open mysteries of some broken-down sci-fi facility nestled deep underground. Talk about taking your job to extreme places. Sounds like a thrilling path, confronting gnarly monsters and piecing together what’s left of humanity. Maybe if I were in her shoes, I’d just crawl into a corner and call it quits—nah, just kidding (or am I?).

So, this game has you exploring, much like in Little Nightmares, but now they’re adding upgradable gear into the bargain. The tension must be cranked high when you’re trying to keep your cool while twisted horror gnashes at you. Oh, and they’re aiming to launch this fright-fest for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in, what was it, 2026? Time flies when you’re dodging digital nightmares.

Now, fans are buzzing, comparing it to “Inside,” with its topsy-turvy FPS appeal. Many are wondering how the action-adventure calls will echo through its labyrinth of secret places. And not to skip this bit—looks like players can wishlist it on Epic and PlayStation Stores now.

Horror game junkies are having a field day: from the Silent Hill 2 remix to indie breakouts like Poppy Playtime. They’ve got Reanimal and Little Nightmares 3 pinned for their next hit of scares, but End of Abyss? Mark the calendars, folks.

So there you have it. Weird, creepy, and crawling from the digital deep end. If that doesn’t perk up your horror-loving heart, well, I might’ve just scared myself silly for nothing.
