Developer Kinetic Games has revealed its plans to bring more content to co-op horror title Phasmophobia moving forward in 2025. In a blog post on its own website, the studio has revealed that two major updates are planned for Phasmophobia, along with new maps as well as reworks to older maps, and even seasonal events.
To kick things off, Phasmophobia will be getting the Chronicle update, which is a new way for players to record evidence of the various hauntings they investigate. Players will be able to post videos and photos of their investigations, and will be appropriately rewarded depending on how valuable this evidence is.
The second major update planned for the game will be a revamp for the player characters. As part of the update, players will get new models for their characters with improved animations. There will also be new customisation features, which will be coming in an update planned for 2026.
On the maps front, Phasmophobia will be getting a new map. While the studio has avoided spoiling things by giving us too many new details, it has stated that this new map will be a small one of comparable scale to the various houses in the game. The studio has also stated that future maps will also be relatively small, which allows for the development of more maps at a quicker pace.
When it comes to maps getting updated, the studio is currently working on updated versions of Bleasdale Farmhouse, Grafton Farmhouse, and 6 Tanglewood Drive. Bleasdale Farmhouse will be the first of these to come out, set for release in March. The redesign of these maps has been described by the studio as “complete artistic overhauls of each map, including new assets and animations, a high level of visual detail as well as a few layout changes.”
The new seasonal events planned for 2025 will implement feedback the studio got for its events last year, and will be kicking things off with a new take on the Easter event. Halloween and Winter will also see their own events, and will involve players investigating alongside the Blood Moon cult, and even taking on Krampus later in the year.
While Kinetic Games is working on these updates and content releases for this year, it has also spoken about more content planned for Phasmophobia in 2026. This will include what the studio refers to as Horror 2.0, as well as new maps and other reworks.
“While we aren’t ready to talk about all of those right now, we are hard at work at making sure that when we do, they’ll be worth the wait,” wrote the studio.
Phasmophobia is available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game can also be played on PC through a VR headset for extra horror vibes.
