Rumors have persisted that a new Silent Hill game is in active development, but no official announcement has been made. While horror game fans wait to learn if there's any truth to the Silent Hill reboot rumors, they can look forward to new horror games that may scratch the same itch. The recently revealed Wronged Us is definitely one to watch for Silent Hill fans, as it looks to combine the horror atmosphere of those classic games with some Dark Souls elements.

Gameplay for open world horror game Wronged Us was revealed at the Golden Joystick Awards, a video game award ceremony that is not quite as well known for its big world premieres as The Game Awards, but still has its fair share of exciting announcements nevertheless. Wronged Us was one of the most exciting reveals, showing a supernatural horror game with disturbing imagery that is clearly taking inspiration from Konami's Silent Hill franchise.

Similarly to Silent Hill, the main character of Wronged Us, seemingly named Isaac, finds himself exploring a creepy town in search of a missing person. Isaac is subjected to all kinds of horrific sights along the way, like a child covered in blood, a weird monster that can crawl on walls, and an abnormally tall, intimidating man that looks like he was ripped straight from the critically-acclaimed horror movie It Follows.

The Wronged Us reveal trailer shows a little bit of combat and exploration, as well as stealth elements as Isaac has to hide from dangerous townfolk. The trailer ends with Isaac watching as a mob of people stand in front of a burning house. There's not a ton of context for what's going on, and it seems like horror game fans that want answers will have to wait for Wronged Us to launch next year to find out more.

The trailer makes the Silent Hill inspirations clear, but it's not as obvious what Wronged Us is borrowing from Dark Souls. The game's official website alludes to Dark Souls' game world and quest design inspiring Wronged Us, but that's not really on display in the gameplay trailer. The game actually has some Last of Us vibes as well, so it will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

There's still a lot about Wronged Us that's a mystery, but regardless, it looks like a promising horror game. Whether or not it can live up to the legacy of the games that have inspired it remains to be seen, but fans will find out next year.

Wronged Us is scheduled to launch in 2023.
