Kinectic Games, the indie studio behind the popular horror game Phasmophobia, announced today that it has partnered with Blumhouse to create a film adaptation of the game. The Phasmophobia movie is officially in development as of today.

“We’re thrilled to officially announce that a Phasmophobia film adaption is in development – it’s a big moment for the whole Kinetic team, and the start of something really exciting,” said Daniel Knight (Dknighter), Director of Kinetic Games and Lead Developer of Phasmophobia. “We never could’ve imagined the incredible heights this game would reach when it launched five years ago, and we’re so thankful to our amazing community for the lasting impact Phasmophobia has had in the gaming space and beyond. Working with Blumhouse and Atomic Monster marks an incredible new chapter for the game, and we can’t wait to share more as the project develops.”

Phasmophobia went viral with its early access launch in 2020 and has surpassed 23 million units sold and has been a genre-defining game in multiplayer horror gaming. It recently launched on consoles and as of December 2024, it sold over a million units on PS5 and Xbox Series.

Blumhouse is well known for their work on Five Nights at Freddy’s, which was one of the highest grossing horror films in 2023. The sequel to FNAF is planned to release on December 5, 2025, which is also expected to do very well at the box office.

A date for the release of the Phasmophobia film has not been revealed yet as the movie has only started to get worked on.
