The illustrious horror landscape is brimming with stories and tales that leave imprints in our hearts and minds. One of the legends that stand out in the labyrinth of horror is the Scream franchise. Popular for its unique take on horror and for introducing Ghostface, the masked slasher is a cornerstone of many nightmares over the decades.
Thus, can you blame hearts for pounding when The Tipster went on X to tease that a potential video game is currently in development?
What's perhaps the most interesting part is that Supermassive Games - the genius minds behind iconic games like Until Dawn and The Quarry - is the one at the helm of what's likely going to be another interactive horror game.
Supermassive has a long-standing reputation for crafting narrative-driven experiences that meld cinematic charm with the immersive allure of gaming. The exemplary example here is Until Dawn, a title that placed players in a hair-raising scenario involving a group of teenagers in a ski lodge, echoing tales of horror legends.
Drawing parallels, the Scream movies epitomize tales of psychopathic killers on a rampage. The iconic Ghostface, who made his debut in 1996's Scream, could easily be the centerpiece of Supermassive's video game adaptation. The studio's past adventures centered around dense woods, looming threats, and suspenseful narratives. They could take inspiration from these previous successes and build a Scream narrative that goes into the psyche of the killer, toggles between survivors, or perhaps a survivor who takes on a sinister transformation.
