Blumhouse Games is an American video game publisher headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Founded in February 2023 by Jason Blum, Blumhouse Games is a video game production subsidiary of Blumhouse Productions that creates horror titles.[1]

History

[edit]

Blumhouse Games was founded in February 2023 by Jason Blum to produce horror-themed games for console, PC, and mobile platforms, marking the company's entry into the video game industry. The gaming division focuses on indie budget projects with production costs below $10 million.[2]

In November 2023, Blumhouse Games hired Jo Lammert as the production lead and Clint Brewer as the technical director.[3] Jason Blum stated that the company's strategy is to replicate its film approach in the gaming sector: seeking out original, low-budget ideas that can be turned into successful games.[4]

Blumhouse Games showcased six horror-themed video games at the Summer Games Fest on June 7, 2024.[5] Featured titles include: Fear the Spotlight by Cozy Game Pals, which will be Blumhouse Games' debut release, scheduled for launch in 2024; Sleep Awake, a first-person psychedelic horror game set in the distant future, developed by Eyes Out and designed by Cory Davis and Robin Finck; Crisol: Theater of Idols, developed by Vermila Studios, is a first-person horror adventure game; Grave Seasons from developer Perfect Garbage; The Simulation by Playmestudio; and Project C by Half Mermaid Productions, designed by Sam Barlow and Brandon Cronenberg, was also showcased.[6]
