If Supermassive Games is behind the project, then that also implies this rumoredScreamgame may subvert expectations andforego the asymmetrical gameplaythat seems to be popular with horror games that feature major villains from other forms of media. Some are hoping for a fun slasher title similar toUntil Dawn.
Supermassive Games has a great catalog of horror titlesthat have taken inspiration from trope-heavy horror movies, and this would make the studio a great developer to put behind a project likeScream. Although asymmetrical horror can be fun, aScreamgame that embraces the true essence of the movies would be an incredibly fun experience to jump into. Asymmetrical gameplay might be a difficult way to capture the energy of theScreammovies, but a Supermassive Games approach to the rumored project could be a match made in heaven.
