Frictional Games, the Swedish studio behind Soma and Amnesia, announces that its upcoming sci-fi title Ontos will now release in 2027. Multiple outlets report that the delay shifts the game back from an earlier timeframe, with Ontos previously expected to arrive sometime this year. The studio frames the change as necessary to complete what it calls a more ambitious project and to ensure it can meet its creative goals. According to the reports, Frictional has not provided a detailed new feature set or release month, but it says the additional time is intended to help the game “get it right” and fully realize the studio’s vision for the project. Ontos was first revealed publicly at The Game Awards in December, and the outlets note that the earlier target was tied to this year’s release expectations. With the new 2027 date, players will have to wait longer to see the follow-up from Frictional Games’ established psychological and horror-focused development style, now presented as a PS5-focused thriller.
