Day one of PAX East brings the exciting news that Blumhouse Games' Grave Seasons has finally set a release date, with the cozy horror farming sim set to hit Xbox, Steam, PlayStation 5 (PS5), and Nintendo Switch on August 14, 2026.
Developed by indie studio Perfect Garbage, Grave Seasons puts players in the scene of the idyllic mountain town of Ashenridge, where the narrative farming sim delivers a terrifying twist – someone in the town is a supernatural serial killer:
Players can fill their days with fishing, tending to farmland, harvesting crops, and getting to know the charismatic villagers. Just be aware they really don’t like it when they catch you breaking and entering into their houses. Oh, and there’s a serious problem… a supernatural serial killer is picking off the townsfolk. Can you save your new neighbors?
Grave Seasons follows the success of Cozy Game Pal's Fear the Spotlight, Gambrinous' co-operative gothic horror game Eyes of Hellfire, Robin Finck's Sleep Awake and Vermila Studios' Crisol: Theater of Idols as the latest from Blumhouse Games' division, which was developed by Jason Blum's horror production behemoth as a way to “replicate its film approach in the gaming sector by seeking out original, low-budget ideas that can be turned into successful games.”
