There's plenty of experiences to look forward to, all with their own unique approaches to scares and atmosphere. If Mortal Kombat X's new combatants and the previously listed games are any indication, 2016 is going to be a great year for fans of the horror genre. Set to be added as a part of Kombat Pack 2 later this year, the inclusion of these characters will allow gamers to pit Friday the 13th's near-immortal horror icon against the demented killer from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre films, which should be a treat, to say the least.
What Remains of Edith Finch will be available at some point later this year, exclusively for the PlayStation 4.īefore wrapping this up, we'd be remiss if we also didn't mention the fact that horror icons Leatherface and Alien will be in Mortal Kombat X. The game will feature significant gameplay and tonal shifts depending on the personality of each family member, and each segment will end with a death. Out of all the games on this list, What Remains of Edith Finch appears to be the horror game of 2016 with the potential for the most emotional impact.
In this game, players take control of the titular Edith Finch, as she relives the last moments of her family members in an attempt to discover why she is the only one left alive. Giant Sparrow, the developers of the critically-acclaimed The Unfinished Swan, are venturing into the realm of first-person exploratory horror with their next project, What Remains of Edith Finch.
