I Hate This Place, launching Q4 2025 from Broken Mirror Games and Skybound Entertainment
Kraków, Poland, 20th March 2025 – Broken Mirror Games, in partnership with Skybound Entertainment, are thrilled to reveal I Hate This Place – an upcoming open-world survival horror game set for release in Q4 2025. As part of a new horror label under Bloober Team (known for The Medium, Layers of Fear, Observer, SILENT HILL 2), I Hate This Place will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Revealed today during the Future Games Show, you can watch the I Hate This Place: Teaser Trailer now:
Inspired by Skybound’s Eisner award-nominated comic book series created by writer Kyle Starks and artist Artyom Topilin, I Hate This Place plunges players deep into a supernatural world where the rules of reality come undone.
In an all-new isometric survival horror experience, delivered in a striking visual style drenched in bold, vivid colours and retro ‘80s comic book aesthetics, each location is lovingly crafted to tell its own disturbing story through stylish visuals that blur the line between reality and nightmare in a world where everything wants you dead.
Players take on the role of Elena, whose fight for survival begins when she unwittingly awakens a malevolent force. Outmatched and hunted in a hostile world, players must think fast, manipulating their surroundings to even the odds against formidable foes.
Engage in tense gunfights and melee combat that rewards ingenuity over brute force, all while crafting essential tools to survive the harsh and unforgiving wilderness long enough to reach safehouses before nightfall, with the day & night cycle having an impact on gameplay dynamics. Whatever you do though, avoid the Horned Man at all costs.
Kyle Starks, Writer of the I Hate This Place comic series, said: “I love my book I HATE THIS PLACE - a labor of horror love with series co-creator and artist Artyom Topiln - so needless to say I'm thrilled to see someone bring it to life in video game form! I can't wait to get my hands on this game and be trapped on the terrible ranch the book inhabits!"
Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Team commented: “We are always looking to push the boundaries of horror in all its forms, and with this new title under Broken Mirror Games, I Hate This Place is a testament to that vision. With its blend of survival mechanics, gripping storytelling, and a distinct visual identity, we believe I Hate This Place will immerse players in a truly unforgettable nightmare.”
