Santa Barbara Games, a powerhouse team of veterans from Bethesda, Riot, EA, and more, have just announced their debut project - Voidwood. This spine-tingling 1-4 player fantasy co-op survival horror game sets players in the midst of a cursed forest, where they must band together to scavenge for resources, craft tools, and outwit The Beast, an unkillable force that wreaks havoc at night. With an art style reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's enchanting worlds, Voidwood promises a unique gaming experience that emphasizes stealth and communication. Players will communicate via proximity chat, with whispering encouraged to avoid attracting The Beast's attention. The forest is filled with danger, and players must make strategic decisions to ensure their survival, such as sacrificing one member to secure escape for the others or regrouping at the safety of campfires. Every gameplay session lasts approximately 20-30 minutes, with each run offering a unique experience due to its randomized instances. Voidwood features meta progression, allowing your character to evolve over time as you play for days, weeks, and months. This chilling adventure is set to release on PC in 2027, so be sure to wishlist it on Steam if you're up for an adrenaline-pumping, teamwork-focused horror experience! Ryan McCaffrey, IGN's executive editor of previews and host of IGN's weekly Xbox show,Podcast Unlocked, and a co-host ofNext-Gen Console Watch, is the man behind this spine-tingling announcement.
