DreadOut 3 Continues Linda's Story, Will Be Released in 2026
Digital Happiness, through its collaboration with Soft Source Publishing, officially announced DreadOut 3 as a new series for its flagship horror game franchise. As expected when watching the trailer, this game will still follow the story of Linda who must return to being involved in a dangerous supernatural conflict, where she is also seen performing a kind of mysterious ritual that seems to be one of the triggers for the gripping adventure later.
The gameplay style and mechanics typical of DreadOut are still maintained, which this time the game also seems to have received a visual overhaul. Although not so drastic, the character details, assets, and lighting quality in the game now look more charming and can still be continuously overhauled until the release. Players can clearly anticipate a horror adventure with a non-linear structure that occurs from morning to night, coupled with a third-person and first-person gameplay perspective using the Iris Phone to uncover hidden spirits.
In addition, the game will still bring players in various exciting puzzle challenges through the Indonesian setting, while blending the atmosphere with a gripping otherworldly feel. The attention of fans this time is also focused on Linda who seems to have grown up, and how she also returns with a hairstyle like the first DreadOut series which gives a nostalgic impression, but at the same time also feels fresher.
DreadOut 3 is planned to be released on PC in 2026 with a specific schedule that has not yet been determined (but it has been emphasized that the schedule will definitely be after GTA VI). If you are interested, you can already wishlist the game first via Steam.
