'Amnesia: The Bunker'

For those who are unfamiliar, Frictional Games' 'Amnesia: The Bunker' is a genuinely terrifying game. Players explore a semi-open environment packed with grotesque creatures and perplexing physics puzzles in this game.

The fact that the game's release date was delayed to June 6 — from May — is a huge factor in why that day will be so significant for aficionados of the horror genre. The success of the Amnesia series speaks for itself, therefore there is a decent possibility that 'Amnesia: The Bunker' will be yet another superb installment in the cherished horror franchise.



 

Diablo 4

There is no disputing that 'Diablo 4' contains many horror-related aspects, even if it isn't a horror game in the sense of intending to "scare" players. Even while Diablo 4 doesn't intentionally strive to be terrifying, players will nevertheless get shivers from defeating swarms of horrifying enemies and from the game's many bizarre plot twists.

Compared to its predecessors, 'Diablo 4' appears to embrace more horror, based on the beta, but fans are still unsure of everything the dark fantasy game will have to offer. Anyone interested in horror who wants to check out whether 'Diablo 4' has enough aspects of the genre to keep it on their radar may want to think about taking part in the game's most recent beta, which is available till May 14.



 

Horror games availability

'Diablo 4' and 'Amnesia: The Bunker' should keep horror fans occupied on June 6. 'Amnesia: The Bunker' is coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, while 'Diablo 4' will be accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. It should be mentioned that 'Amnesia: The Bunker' is also an Xbox Game Pass title, so horror game enthusiasts who wish to enjoy it for free should think about joining.
