Slender Man is hiding in Phasmophobia

The big Halloween update for Phasmophobia seems to have been hiding a creepy stowaway, as fans have discovered that none other than the infamous Slender Man is hiding in the woods around Maple Lodge Campsite - which was added earlier this week.

Phasmophobia developer Kinetic Games is well-known for creepy little teases - the team particularly loves to throw out hints about new ghosts way before releasing them, as the run-up to this week's big Halloween Nightmare update proved. This released on Monday and brought with it four new ghosts, the new Nightmare difficulty, various major tweaks, and the new Maple Lodge Campsite map.

The campsite map is different from previous maps in that it's set in the woods, and players digging into the map have discovered all manner of Easter eggs - including the mask of Jason Voorhees and a dead body under the cabin, which presumably belongs to one of the new ghosts. The creepiest secret, however, is Slender Man hiding in the woods.

Phasmophobia has added a haunted campsite map and new ghosts

If Halloween is best spent doing scary things with pals, Phasmophobia is one of the best games to play this Halloween. The cooperative game sends us to investigate haunted places, trying to capture evidence of ghosts without getting murdered by them. And now it's even more Halloween-y (well, technically Friday The 13th-y) thanks to a big new early access update, which has added a new map set in a haunted campground, new types of ghost, and new spooky weather. Great, just what I wanted in a game I'm already too scared to play.

Phasmophobia Nightmare reveals four new ghosts and the "most intense" difficulty

October 25, 2021: The Phasmophobia Nightmare patch notes are here, confirming four new ghosts and the Maple Lodge campsite map.

The Phasmophobia Halloween update is now available after numerous teases over the last month and we've now got the Phasmophobia v0.4.0 patch notes - which includes details of the more intense difficulty level, a surprising amount of new ghosts, and the new haunted campsite map.

The new update was teased back in September after developer Kinetic Games added a new card to Phasmophobia's public Trello board promising a "major update" for Halloween. Earlier this month Kinetic Games posted a teaser for two new ghost types showing the journal entry for one of them. Players correctly theorised that this could be the game's first ghost pair called 'The Twins' - which, if correct, I'm betting will be based on cinema's most famous ghost pair from The Shining.

Today's patch notes reveal there are actually four ghosts coming in the Nightmare update - The Twins, Raiju, Onryo, and Obake. Apart from spirits, the Maple Lodge Campsite is revealed as the title of the new map - which is described as a "medium-sized map featuring picnic areas, games, multiple tents, a log cabin, and a haunted lake."
