Our dear Cael would rather tell you to go play Lethal Company. And he probably wouldn’t be wrong. Although desperate not to see version 1.0 of Phasmophobia appear before a long time, players will have to content themselves with the list of updates planned for 2024, revealed by Kinetic Games.
Arlésienne-phobia
At least three major updates are planned for this year 2024. Note that no deployment date has been revealed for these updates. Version 0.9 aims for an improvement in lighting effects, a revision of item levels, and a V3 for the store. This will be followed by 0.10 which will bring new challenges and new options, a revision of rewards, new evidence and new equipment: the sound recorder. Version 0.11 will bring new avatars for players, the ability to customize characters, and new animations. The roadmap states thata posteriori of these three deployments, version 1.0 will arrive (let’s aim for 2025…). This will deliver new ghosts, the introduction of a system of hallucinations, new events, a “hunting“improved, and new interactions,”and more” as the established expression goes. Kinetic Games will launch a new map “Point Hope”, which will be set in an isolated lighthouse. The Grafton and Bleasdale maps will also be reviewed and corrected.
The console version of Phasmophobia is still in development, although it was announced last year. Kinetic Games specifies in its press release: “This delay comes with additional changes for console players from day one: the new and improved store experience, upcoming level and gear adjustments, and minor balance changes. This means that console players will benefit from an optimal experience right out of the game’s release, instead of seeing entire areas of gameplay and progression change right after the game’s release.“. The developers therefore want to be reassuring, even if they carefully avoid delivering any release date for this console iteration (planned for PS5 and Xbox Series).
