Ill is a new horror game with big RE4 regenerator vibes

And it looks.... sick!

Ill is a new horror game announced at Summer Game Fest, and comes with big Resident Evil 4 regenerator vibes.

“Set in a mysterious research fort, Ill is a realistic first-person action/horror game that plunges players headlong into an immersive, atmospheric body horror narrative,” reads a press release.

“From a development team that has worked with renowned film directors and designed monsters for horror films, and featuring innovative gameplay mechanics like a cutting-edge dismemberment system, binaural audio implementation, and realistic physics, Ill is both a love letter and an evolution of the survival horror genre. The title is built on the belief that games can go where films can’t: under the skin. To make the player not just witness fear, but experience it. Pain, dread, and disorientation are delivered straight into your hands with no escape, unlike in movies, where characters move you through the terror.”

“Something sinister has awakened within a vast research fort. This mysterious source of evil and the horrific Aberrations it spawned stand in the protagonist’s way to save what matters most to him,” the press release continued. “Unleash your survival instincts, as Ill will make you feel every second of the struggle for survival.”

Members of developer Team Clout have worked on iconic horror projects including V/H/S/Beyond, Longlegs, IT: Welcome to Derry, Azrael, and more.

Expect Ill on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
