Frictional Games is cooking up something, we just have no idea what

The studio behind two of the scariest games of the generation seems to be teasing their next game, if a freshly-updated website and cryptic animation are any indication. 

Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Soma developer Frictional Games recently updated their official website, called Next Frictional Game (thanks RPS), for the first time in four years, but there's little to indicate what could be on its way next to scare us silly.

The last we heard about Frictional Games' elusive new project was in 2017, when the studio revealed that one of two games in the pipeline was in "full development" and would be "horrific in nature."

The updated website previously read, "Our next project has not yet been announced." That text has been replaced by a tiny, pulsing… thing. Clicking on the animation gets you nowhere, same as speculating much at this point with nothing else to go on. Other than that incredibly cryptic teaser, all we're left with are links to a few social channels and Frictional Games' full website.

As always, we'll be keeping you updated as we come across every new morsel of information from Frictional Games.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
