If a video game explores the intricacies and horrors of womanhood, she is there. Thanks to previous work at GAMINGbible, GameByte, The Loadout, Game Luster, Angharad has built a strong understanding of both the digital world and what fans want from it and is eager to share her thoughts and expertise with readers. Combining the eldritch horrors of Stranger Things with the FPS gameplay of the likes of Far Cry, this upcoming first-person co-op survival horror game is guaranteed to see you sleeping with the lights on. Developed by LNJ Studio, The Abyss Break is set to launch later this year and will task players with teaming up with friends to venture into dangerous parallel worlds born from the Abyss. Consisting of hardcore FPS gameplay, this horror game will allow you to arrange your pouches, armor plates, and support gear, customize your weapons with a series of unique attachments, and most importantly, prepare yourself for the horrors that await as preparation will be the difference in your survival. You wake up with no memory in an underground complex scarred by disaster. There are no people left here — only a semi-autonomous hub and a path into foreign worlds. There, beyond the Abyss, you will have to gather resources, search for gear, and piece together the truth of what happened to you. Every venture brings you closer to the answers: what happened in the complex, who you really are, and why realities keep collapsing one after another. But the farther you go, the clearer it becomes: the Abyss has rules of its own. However, with the Abyss forever unstable, time is against you as its alien reality threatens to rip you apart. In The Abyss Break, you will need to return from the Abyss before it is too late, but luckily, you will have your friends with you, "combining stealth, combat, resource gathering, and preparation to withstand relentless threats." However, that is not all, as The Abyss Break promises you an experience in a world which adapts to your every move and decision. Any tracks, open doors, or missing resources you leave behind will not go unnoticed. Luckily, the open-world environment is dynamic, featuring day-night cycles, ever-changing weather and untold details, leading to every mission feeling unique, and most importantly, unpredictable. As mentioned, The Abyss Break is set to release some time in 2026, although an exact window has not yet been released. However, with its development team planning on revealing more information over the next few months, it is worth adding this stunning upcoming horror game to your wishlist now. If you enjoy the horrific creatures that plagued our dreams during Stranger Things, or you enjoy open-world exploration with a horror element, then you will love The Abyss Break.
