Frictional Games, the developer behind SOMA and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, has delayed the release of its upcoming horror game Ontos to 2027. The game will launch on PC, Xbox, and PS5, and features award-winning actor Stellan Skarsgård. Ontos was first announced at The Game Awards 2025.
The title is a sci-fi mystery thriller, "taking you to the edge of existence," called a spiritual successor to Soma. Set on a repurposed moon hotel Samsara, the adventure features a mind-bending narrative with chilling experiments and unsettling encounters. You take on the role of Aditi Amani, invited to the space facility by the cryptic legacy of your father, a mind-turned-prophet. In that strange place, you need to search for answers, relying on the fragments from your father's past, but reality begins shifting and changing, and the truth lies beneath deception and obscurity.
