The Conjuring is coming to Netflix in the form of a video game, marking the franchise’s first foray into the medium after releasing ten films over the last decade.
“What is haunting the Red Lion Inn? Scan for paranormal signals and investigate the eerie events troubling a grieving family in this cinematic game,” the blurb reads.
Thus far, anything else about the game is unknown; we aren’t sure if it’ll mimic Netflix’s most recent horror game, Unhinged, which was a first-person, interactive title featuring a celebrity cast including Zoë Kravitz and Sadie Sink, or if it’ll be something completely different.
We don’t even know if Ed or Lorraine will be in the game at all, though it would seem odd if they weren’t, as the blurb makes it seem like the pair is going off on one of their iconic paranormal investigations again.
What we do know is that, unlike other games under Netflix’s umbrella, it’ll be a cloud-based title, presumably not tied to mobile devices or any particular platform. It's also cinematic, meaning that it'll almost certainly contain grand cutscenes and a heavy narrative focus.
This marks The Conjuring’s very first fully-dedicated video game adaptation, and it’s coming right in time for spooky season. While an exact launch date has not yet been shared, it’ll release on the heels of Silent Hill: Townfall, the second title from Konami’s horror series that’s released in the last two years. It’s received rave reviews thus far, with IGN scoring the game an 8 out of 10 — so it looks like Untold has its work cut out for it if it hopes to catch players’ attention.
The Conjuring has been featured in another game, though; Fortnite notably included a map themed after The Conjuring: Last Rites, in 2025.
Last Rites is the newest film in the famous horror series first kicked off by James Wan in 2013, and the final story in ‘phase one’ of its overarching narrative. Another installment is releasing in 2027 titled The Conjuring: First Communion, though details on this movie are also slim at the moment.
