2022 Is Shaping Up To Be a Great Year For Horror Games
January is over, but there are still many months ahead for new and exciting video games to hit shelves in 2022. As of this writing, the next major studio title to be released is Dying Light 2, Techland's ambitious sequel to the 2015 open-world zombie action game. While parkour and combat are core elements of the experience, Dying Light 2 also heavily leans into the horror genre with endless legions of undead roaming the city streets.
The horror genre seems to be abundant throughout the remainder of 2022, with an impressive line-up of games for fans of all things that go bump in the night. From established franchise to smaller indie projects, there looks to be no shortage of content for players who enjoy being scared, clinging to their controllers as they cautiously creep around the next corner.

Elden Ring looks no different, with grotesque creatures and haunting atmospheres around every corner.
Come March, as the timed PlayStation exclusive Ghostwire: Tokyo will be the next game in line.
