Previously released on PC earlier this year, Digital Happiness’ DreadOut 2 will be seeing a console release next month. The Indonesian Survival Horror title will hit the Xbox One and Xbox Series on July 14th, while the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions will arrive on July 20th.
Drawing inspiration from Indonesian folklore and urban legend, DreadOut 2 is a third-person horror adventure that has you play as Linda Meillinda, a high school student with the supernatural power to sense and see ghosts. Aided by her smartphone, Linda must hunt the nightmarish spirits and dark forces that threaten her hometown.
DreadOut 2 features a new combat-oriented mechanic, which involves Linda being able to use any available melee weapons. You’ll also be interacting with various NPCs (both human and ghost), with several side quests, hidden stages, and mini-bosses specifically based on Asian/Indonesian urban legends. And for those who love collecting, you’ll also be putting together a collection of ghost and urban legends lore in Linda’s Ghostpedia on her phone.
