PS4 And PC Horror Game From Amnesia Dev Gets Weird New Trailer

Frictional Games, developer of acclaimed first-person horror titles Penumbra and Amnesia, has released a trailer for its next game, Soma.

The trailer, which you can watch below, features a narrator talking about traumatic events in a strangely cheery tone, while viewers are taken on a quick tour through a series of creepy environments.

Naturally, this all crescendos into the appearance of a disturbing looking figure and a panicked escape from something unseen.

SOMA has been in development for nearly five years and takes place in an abandoned science facility. Unlike most horror games, it trades jumpscares for building up tension slowly and putting players on the very edge of their seats.

Frictional Games has confirmed the Soma release date as September 22 for PS4 and PC.
