In the realm of gaming, the anticipation of a PC title making its way to consoles can often serve as a double-edged sword. While the wait may be frustrating, it also provides gamers with the opportunity to gauge the game’s reception through reviews on platforms like Steam. This feedback loop is particularly beneficial for indie developers, as the success of a PC version can pave the way for a console port. Such is the case with Necrophosis, a Lovecraftian horror game published by Dragonis Games, which is now officially set to launch on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
A Journey into the Unknown
Necrophosis first emerged on the PC gaming scene via Steam in April 2025, captivating players with its surreal landscapes, intricate puzzles, and a haunting narrative. Garnering a “Very Positive” average rating from players, the game has resonated well with its audience. In a strategic move, Dragonis Games has teamed up with PQube to unveil a complete edition of Necrophosis, which will not only bring the game to consoles but also introduce a brand-new DLC.
Expanding the Horror Experience
Currently available on PC, Necrophosis blends elements of walking simulators and cosmic horror, all wrapped in stunning artistry and a gripping narrative. Players are drawn into a world that unfolds gradually, filled with puzzles to solve and mysteries to unravel. The game has received accolades for its introspective approach to horror and its innovative, environment-driven storytelling. While many players commend its breathtaking visuals, some have noted the game’s brevity, a concern that the new DLC aims to address.
Introducing Necrophosis: Full Consciousness, this upcoming release is more than just a port for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It will include the highly anticipated DLC, Necrophosis: Subconsciousness, which promises to enrich the gameplay experience with new environments, entities, and additional layers of horror. For those who have already ventured through the original game on Steam, this DLC will be available as a standalone addition. Although the developers have yet to disclose the exact length of the new content, it is expected to extend the current 2-3 hour gameplay experience.
Whether you’re a newcomer to Necrophosis or a seasoned player from the Steam community, the announcement trailer for Full Consciousness offers a tantalizing glimpse of what lies ahead. Viewers can immerse themselves in the eerie atmosphere and visual splendor that the game promises.
Additionally, a more detailed trailer for the new DLC is set to debut on March 2nd, with a live air time of 1:15 PM ET, available on the Dragonis Games YouTube channel. This DLC will be included in the Full Consciousness edition when it launches on consoles, alongside a Steam release for those who have yet to experience the base game.
For PS5 enthusiasts, there’s an added incentive: a physical version of Necrophosis: Full Consciousness will be available, bundled with another Lovecraftian title from Dragonis Games, The Shore.
While the exact release date and pricing details for Necrophosis: Full Consciousness remain under wraps, it is anticipated to arrive sometime in 2026. For those eager to delve into the existing content, the base game is currently priced at .99 on Steam, offering a chance to explore its haunting world ahead of the new DLC.
