Feardemic has announced that Fear Fest will return in September for a two-day event, which will include Black Summer showcase and the first-ever Fear Fest: Horror Game Awards.
This year’s horror game extravaganza from Feardemic will be arriving as a two-day event between Wednesday, September 6, 2023, and Thursday, September 7, 2023. The first day will see a slew of announcements arrive during the Black Summer showcase, which we’ve seen in previous years, but on the second day, Feardemic and IGN will be hosting the first-ever Fear Fest: Horror Game Awards.
Fear Fest 2023 arrives in September for a two-day event
On Wednesday, September 6, 2023, the Fear Fest: Black Summer showcase will see a cast of horror-focused influencers join the Feardemic team to reveal 32 horror games coming from publishers and developers big and small in 2023 and 2024. If you’re a fan of horror, it could be a show for you to watch.
Following that on Thursday, September 7, 2023, Feardemic and IGN will be hosting the first-ever Fear Fest: Horror Game Awards. The show will celebrate the best horror games of 2022 across 15 categories, with the winners taking home a golden bat trophy. Winners will be decided by a public vote via the Horror Game Awards website, which goes live in July.
The exact times of each show are yet to be revealed, but both will be exclusively streamed on IGN’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
With games like Dying Light 2: Stay Human, The Callisto Protocol, Martha is Dead, The Quarry, Madison, Evil Dead: The Game, Scorn, and more and more launching on Xbox in 2022, it might be difficult to choose which ones to champion. We’d love to know what horror games you think ruled last year though, so let us know down below!
