Supermassive Games has already won over a crypt full of horror game fans with its super-creepy anthology series The Dark Pictures — And it seems the fun is only just beginning, as the studio has filed trademarks for a possible five further entries in its grim library of frightening features.
Yesterday, on the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), five new listings appeared for as-yet-unannounced titles in The Dark Pictures anthology. While it should be made clear that this does not necessarily guarantee that all five games will be developed and published, it is a clear sign that Supermassive is far from finished with its spooky-ooky franchise.
The five trademarked titles are as follows:
The new games, if any, will join previous Supermassive releases The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan (2019), The Dark Pictures: Little Hope (2020), and The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes (2021). While the titles are perhaps not the most non-linear of video games, they have won over horror fans with their intriguing stories, varied settings, and tense, branching gameplay.
The Dark Pictures is essentially a digital ghost train, one that many will continue to purchase tickets for. It would behoove Supermassive Games to continue the series while it remains profitable.
