Looks like Phasmophobia's getting a Halloween update with "nightmare difficulty"

The spooky season is fast approaching, and it looks like the devs behind one of the best ghost games around are gearing up to get into the spine-chilling spirit. While there doesn't seem to have been an official announcement as such, it looks like Phasmophobia has got a Halloween update on the way, with some kind of "nightmare difficulty" in tow.

That's according to a new addition to the horror game's public Trello board, in which Kinetic Games posts some details about what's in the Phasmophobia development pipeline at any one time. A new card just added lists a "Halloween update" as in progress, which you can see here. Sadly, there's very little detail about what the update will bring right now, with most of the points labelled as "redacted", so it seems the devs want to keep plenty of cards close to their chest on what the patch will usher in.

However, there is something listed called "nightmare difficulty". While it's far from confirmed by the entry, this is presumably some kind of themed, especially tricky difficulty mode that'll make tackling the game's ghosts and ghouls all the more, well, nightmarish, when Halloween rolls around. Though, we'll have to wait for more news on what this is, exactly.

A year into Early Access and Phasmophobia is still ugly, janky and dull—I love it

Phasmophobia, the best co-op game of 2020, is celebrating its first anniversary. Ghost hunters can wear ugly party hats, and the garage that serves as a base is now filled with balloons and awful techno music. Both the balloons and the party hats appear to be made out of sheet metal, and entering the garage you might find yourself stuck in a crouching position. It's still very wonky, looks like shit, and I'm besotted with it...

Phasmophobia gets an anniversary update with a journal overhaul

Can you believe Phasmophobia is already one year old? Kinetic Games' popular ghost game has just hit its first anniversary and, to celebrate, the studio has pushed out an update bringing a bunch of new, tweaked, and overhauled features, plus a nice little batch of bug fixes.

The major change launched with the Phasmophobia anniversary update is an overhaul of the horror game's journal. The feature - which stores information on key gameplay aspects such as its ghosts, equipment, evidence, and photos you've snapped - has been given a "complete redesign" to "make it easier to use and navigate". You'll now also be able to cross off evidence on the journal's page for ghost evidence.

Additionally, Phasmophobia's pause menu has been integrated into the journal, which means handy new options like being able to change all of the game's settings via the journal while you're in-game. Some new features folded in with the update include the option to play offline single-player - a mode that won't link you up to the game's servers.
