Blumhouse Productions, a renowned producer of horror films such as M3GAN, Get Out, Split, The Invisible Man, and The Black Phone, has announced the establishment of a new game development studio called Blumhouse Games. The new studio will focus on creating immersive and scary horror tales on tight budgets for PC and consoles under the US $10 million mark. The studio will be led by industry veterans Zach Wood and Don Sechler, both reporting to Abhijay Prakash, the current president of Blumhouse. The move into gaming is a strategic decision aimed at tapping into the massive and growing gaming industry, which is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
Blumhouse has a reputation for producing quality horror content, often on a tight budget. The new gaming studio aims to deliver the same level of creativity and immersion in its video game offerings. The appointment of experienced game industry professionals like Zach Wood and Don Sechler indicates that the company is serious about entering the gaming industry and delivering high-quality horror gaming experiences.
Blumhouse Games will undoubtedly face stiff competition in the gaming industry, which is already crowded with established developers and publishers. However, with the popularity of horror games on the rise, the new studio may have a strong chance of success.
It remains to be seen what kind of games Blumhouse Games will produce, but horror enthusiasts and gamers alike are eagerly anticipating the studio’s debut offerings. With its focus on delivering immersive and creative horror experiences on a tight budget, Blumhouse Games could become a significant player in the gaming industry.
Blumhouse Games, the new game development studio of Blumhouse Productions, is reportedly planning to invest in around 15 new horror titles over the next 3-4 years. The company will focus on developing original horror stories rather than video game adaptations of its films. According to Bloomberg, Blumhouse had previously attempted to develop video game adaptations of its movies but was unsuccessful. Blumhouse Games plans to push creative boundaries in the horror genre and will aim to leverage the company’s brand, reputation, and creative talent. Zach Wood, the head of Blumhouse Games, sees a unique opportunity for horror and genre in the indie game space. Further updates on Blumhouse Games’ upcoming horror projects are expected in the future.
