We've known since 2023 that Blumhouse, the legendary horror movie production company behind franchises like Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and The Conjuring, had established a video games subsidiary. To be honest, I didn't have high hopes for a movie-focused company dabbling in video game development, but I was pleasantly surprised when Blumhouse Games officially introduced itself during Summer Game Fest 2024.
That's because, despite the stated intentions at the branch's creation, some were rightfully concerned that Blumhouse Games would be overly ambitious and obviously inexperienced like many industry newcomers, or that it'd churn out uninteresting video game adaptations of Blumhouse's established horror franchises. Instead, Blumhouse Games announced six in-progress projects — and they're all the result of Blumhouse discovering, investing in, and nurturing creative indie developers.
