Psychological thriller fans, mark your calendars! Wired Productions and Pollard Studio have officially announced that KARMA: The Dark World is launching exclusively on PlayStation 5 and PC on March 27, 2025. This mind-bending adventure will be available for $24.99 / €24.99 / £19.99, with a 10% launch discount across platforms and an extra 15% off on Steam for players who own previous Wired Productions titles.
A Cinematic Mind Trip
To build the hype, the second trailer in KARMA’s cinematic trilogy just dropped—this time featuring the haunting track Into the Mist by Geng Li. Clocking in at three minutes, the latest trailer dives into the game’s surreal visuals, eerie atmosphere, and gripping story, packed with unexpected twists and psychological tension. With the chilling tagline “When every shadow hides a secret, who can you trust?”, it sets the stage for a truly immersive thriller.
Optimized for PlayStation 5 Pro
PlayStation 5 Pro players are in for a treat, as KARMA: The Dark World comes packed with full-featured PSSR integration for sharper visuals, enhanced textures, and improved reflections. The game will run at a rock-solid 60fps in 4K, making every unsettling moment even more immersive.
A Love Letter to Psychological Thrillers
Drawing inspiration from visionary creators like David Lynch (Twin Peaks), Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid, Death Stranding), and Christopher Nolan (Inception, Interstellar), KARMA: The Dark World blends psychological horror, mind-bending storytelling, and intense atmosphere into a cinematic gaming experience. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game pushes visual fidelity to new heights, making every eerie location and unsettling encounter feel disturbingly real.
Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions, describes it as a “rollercoaster assault on the senses”, comparing it to a dream collaboration between Kojima, Nolan, and the late David Lynch—if they ever worked on a game out of China.
Enter the Mind, Uncover the Truth
Players step into the shoes of Daniel McGovern, an elite Roam Agent tasked with diving into the minds of suspects. What starts as a routine investigation soon unravels into a dark conspiracy that challenges everything he knows. With reality twisting around him, McGovern must navigate disturbing memories, uncover hidden truths, and question his own sanity.
KARMA: The Dark World is available to wishlist now on Steam, PlayStation Store, GOG, and the Epic Store. While it’s launching first on PS5 and PC, an Xbox release is planned for a later date, with more details coming soon.
