Creepshow Lives: Horror Anthology Becomes Video Game

The Creepshow franchise is set to experience a revival, transitioning from its television series format to a new video game. This point-and-click adventure game, developed by PHL Games and published by DreadXP, is slated for an August 2026 release. It promises a deep narrative experience with one overarching story and two additional self-contained episodes.

The game's official description highlights its dark humor, unexpected endings, and pulp-inspired visuals. Players will encounter nightmarish scenarios with characters facing unforeseen fates. One storyline follows Danny and his friends on a terrifying mall excursion, while another involves a quest for truth about Danny's father that uncovers sinister secrets.

Patrick Ewald, CEO of DreadXP, expressed excitement about publishing the iconic Creepshow brand, aiming to attract a new audience. Developed with AMC and PHL, the game strives to immerse players directly into a Creepshow episode. The project, initially announced in 2022, saw minimal updates until this recent release window announcement, ending a long period of anticipation for fans.
