Resident Evil Meets P.T In Photorealistic New Horror

Tuesday evening saw Geoff Keighley take to the stage once again for Gamescom 2025’s Opening Night Live event and alongside some recaps of titles we already knew were in the works, we got a few surprises.

That includes one photorealistic horror game that definitely made an impact on viewers due to its nods to classics such as Resident Evil and P.T.

The game is called Project Spectrum and it is set to be an ultra realistic horror game which launches some time in 2026.

In this asymmetrical shooter by the creators at Team Jade, players can expect a "physiological horror PvEvP game, where you battle against monsters, other players, and your own sanity, as widespread anomalies twist around the world.”

The 8-minute trailer which was shown on Opening Night Live gave us just a sneak peek as to what we can expect as we see a Special Ops team explore a horrifying looking location and, as you can imagine, things soon go south.

In the end, a lone survivor is heard asking, “What if you are the beast?”

Team Jade, the creators behind the Delta Force reboot, have since spoken more about Project Spectrum and explained that it will be set in a “radiant, reality-warping force” known as the Ember.

"Everything it touches—cities, landscapes, even life itself—is transformed in unknowable ways, leaving behind dangerous regions called Ember Zones," the studio explained.

"Players take the role of an Operator, leading high-risk missions into Ember Zones—recruiting and managing a customizable squad of elite Agents, who they ultimately play as to obtain intelligence, neutralize threats, and uncover the secrets of the Ember.”

Team Jade goes on to explain that every moment in the game is “highly dynamic” and players will have to face many enemies such as hostile agents and monstrous beings as well as dealing with the psychological toll that the environment takes.

“Players must fight back through building and customizing their Agents, utilizing coordinated team synergy, environmental awareness, and creative, improvised item crafting — all while remaining mindful of their Sanity, a crucial resource that depletes easily, and of Executioners roaming the world: powerful beings with unmatched agility and strength controlled by other players."

Project Spectrum is not currently available on Steam and we do not yet have a release window but an official website is now live if you wish to find out more about this reality-bending new horror.
