Kinetic Games has announced the 2025 roadmap for the Co-op horror game Phasmophobia. The roadmap includes the first major update “chronicle”, map reworks, new ghost hunting tools, and more. Additionally, the developer announced that the game has sold over two million units since it first launched. The game first launched on September 18, 2020 and is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, and Xbox Series.
The full details:
First Major Update: “Chronicle”
The first major update, “Chronicle,” will bring changes to the journal and rework the way in which Ghost Hunters can capture evidence. The Photos tab will be replaced with a Media tab featuring three new sections—Photos, Videos, and Sound Recordings—with any photographic, audio, or visual evidence logged in the corresponding pages.
The game’s media quality system is being replaced too, with a players’ first “capture” of any media type labelled as “Unique.” These will reward lots of cash and XP at the end of a contract, while “duplicates” will reward much less.
Chronicle will also introduce the Sound Recorder, a brand new piece of equipment designed to record unique paranormal sounds. Players brave enough to do so will be able to listen back to their recordings in the updated journal, letting them discover helpful clues that may previously have been drowned out by terrified screams.
Map Reworks
Outdoorsy hunters will be pleased to know there are two map reworks on the way this year: Bleasdale Farmhouse will receive a complete overhaul, with visual enhancements and a complete redesign of the layout, including new locations for ghosts to haunt. Players will be able to explore a garden just outside the main living room, complete with ghost rooms, as well as revamped areas to explore. Grafton Farmhouse will also receive an update later this year.
More to Come
There’s even more to come, with a player character overhaul, new small map, and updates for the Easter, Halloween and Holiday seasons set to arrive in 2025. Plans for 2026 are already underway too, with house map reworks, even more new maps, and Horror 2.0 in the works.
