This special console edition bundles the base game, Necrophosis, with the brand-new expansion Necrophosis: Subconsciousness, delivering the complete experience in one haunting package. The game will launch digitally on both platforms, while the physical PlayStation 5 edition includes an additional bonus: The Shore, another horror title from Dragonis Games steeped in Lovecraftian myth.

The announcement debuted during IGN Fan Fest on February 26, 2026, where the trailer was revealed for the first time as part of the event’s lineup spotlighting major upcoming releases.

Enter a World Where Only Decay Remains

Necrophosis: Full Consciousness is a first-person psychological horror adventure centered on exploration, unsettling puzzles, and surreal worldbuilding. Players awaken as “Consciousness” itself, inhabiting a decaying, memoryless vessel in a realm consumed by rot.

As you traverse grotesque, deteriorating landscapes, fragments of truth slowly surface. The journey eventually descends deeper into the subconscious, guiding players through shadowy depths filled with forgotten gods, eldritch entities, and disturbing revelations.

The game leans heavily into cosmic horror, presenting eerie architecture, haunting environmental storytelling, and narrative poems that gradually piece together the world’s tragic backstory.

Puzzles, Possession, and Psychological Terror

Exploration is at the heart of the experience, but survival requires more than curiosity. Players must solve chilling puzzles that range from careful environmental observation to more surreal mechanics involving detachment and possession.

The atmosphere is reinforced by minimalist, droning soundscapes layered with whispers, distant groans, and cryptic voices, amplifying tension in every crumbling corridor and desolate wasteland.

The Subconsciousness Expansion

The included Subconsciousness DLC extends the story with new locations, additional entities, and deeper narrative layers. While maintaining the core gameplay loop of exploration and puzzle-solving, the expansion pushes further into the twisted mythology of the Necrophosis universe.

PlayStation 5 Physical Edition Bonus: The Shore

Players who pick up the physical PS5 edition will also receive The Shore, another Dragonis Games horror-adventure inspired by Lovecraftian mythology. Set on a forbidden island, the game follows a grieving father confronting monstrous entities and unraveling dark secrets in a desperate search for his missing daughter. Blending action, psychological tension, and puzzle-solving, it offers a complementary descent into cosmic horror.

Necrophosis: Full Consciousness launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2026, delivering a complete, expanded journey into a realm where decay is eternal and the subconscious holds unspeakable truths.

Even better? Frostpunk 2 will be available on Xbox Game Pass for console on day one.

Refined for Consoles, Built for Survival

Following valuable lessons from the first Frostpunk’s console release, Frostpunk 2 arrives with a redesigned, gamepad-optimized interface. 11 bit studios has fine-tuned the circular UI and added features that let players guide New London’s fate seamlessly with a controller in hand.

“We started by reusing some of the original UI systems,” said Igor Skibinski, Production Coordinator on Frostpunk 2. “But the sequel evolved so much, we had to rethink and rebuild most of it. Our goal was always to keep the player immersed—never distracted by the controls.”

The new control scheme includes features like shoulder button-based district cycling and a dynamic radial menu for quick actions over resources. And for those playing on PC with a gamepad, a post-launch update will add these new interface options there, too.

Two Premium Physical Editions for the Faithful

Alongside the digital release, two collector’s editions—The Icebreaker Edition and The Whiteout Edition—will be available for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players.

Here’s what you get in each:

Icebreaker Edition

• Full game on disc

• Pop-up diorama of New London

• Warm Flesh digital novella

• Digital behind-the-scenes artbook

Whiteout Edition

• Everything from the Icebreaker Edition

• Deluxe Edition upgrade (includes access to 3 future DLCs)

• One of two exclusive embroidered faction patches: Technocrats or Icebloods

If you’re a fan of physical editions that go beyond the usual steelbook and poster combo, these are shaping up to be standout collector’s pieces.

With its chilling setting, complex city-building systems, and moral choices that bite just as hard as the cold, Frostpunk 2 is one of the most anticipated strategy games of the year. Keep your rations stocked—New London returns on September 18.
