Pathologic 3 Announced, Launches Next Year

Players will play as a city doctor known as The Bachelor, who is tasked with unraveling the mystery of a deadly disease that has gripped a small, remote town.

Horror fans always tend to have a variety of games to look forward to, and another new title has been announced that may very well be worth keeping an eye on. Developer Ice-Pick Lodge’s horror RPG series Pathologic has made its fair share of fans over the years, and thankfully, the gap between its second and third outings isn’t going to be nearly as long as the gap between the first two. 

Pathologic 3 has been officially announced by Ice-Pick Lodge and publisher HypeTrain Digital. Set in a small, remote town, the horror title will see players stepping into the shoes of The Bachelor, who arrives in the game’s setting upon being invited by someone who’s no longer alive, following which it becomes your responsibility to unravel the mystery of a deadly disease ravaging the town, and trying to stop it before its too late. 

As per the developers, Pathologic 3 will introduce a major new feature in time travel mechanics. Players will have a total of 12 days to save the town, but manipulating time to change events and unlock new outcomes will be key. Check out the game’s announcement trailer below. 

Pathologic 3 is due out sometime in 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
