Summary
Developer Kinetic Games has revealed its plans forPhasmophobiathroughout 2025, with plenty on the way in the coming year. Because it was initially released back in 2020, it’s very easy to forget thatPhasmophobiais still technically considered an Early Access game.
Phasmophobiacontinues to go from strength to strength, with relatively frequent updates ensuring the Early Access title feels fresh even for experienced players. Earlier this year, Kinetic Games releasedPhasmophobia’s Point Hope lighthouse map, one of the most interesting maps to date. 2024 also saw the long-awaited release ofPhasmophobiaon consoles, whereit has already proven to be a massive hit. Like the PC version, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions ofPhasmophobiaare still in Early Access, and likely will be for the foreseeable future, leaving room for even more improvements in 2025.
In a blog post onKinetic Games' website, the studio gave a sneak peek at some of its plans forPhasmophobiaheading into 2025. The biggest news is that there’s a new piece ofPhasmophobiaequipmentcoming next year: the Sound Recorder. According to Kinetic Games' description of the equipment, “you’ll be able to hunt down and record unique paranormal sounds,” but it’s unclear if it will help players uncover any specific pieces of evidence and discover the ghost type.
Phasmophobia is Getting a New Piece of Equipment in 2025
Phasmophobiais getting a few reworks in 2025. The blog post shared a work-in-progress look at several rooms inPhasmophobia’s Bleasdale Farmhouse map, which is set to get a significant rework at some point in the future. It certainly doesn’t look like a small set of changes, so it is an update to look forward to. Kinetic Games also offered a glimpse at some Journal changes. The Photos page is being replaced with the Media tab, which will encompass photos, videos, and sound recordings. This will change how players can get a perfect map. Capturing a specific media type will eventually be branded “Unique” by the game, rewarding more money than duplicate images. No more farming salt photos for money.
It looks set to be an exciting year ahead forPhasmophobiaplayers. Alongside its planned content updates, hopefully Kinetic Games will also continue with the holiday events as it has over the last few years.Phasmophobia’s recent Christmas eventwas fun, allowing players to contribute to the community goal without needing to play the game constantly.
