An official Paranormal Activity game has been scrapped after Paramount allegedly refused to give creators more time on the project.
Announced in 2024, Paranormal Activity: Threshold was being created by Darkstone Digital and had been set to launch this year. A playable demo was made available at PAX East in March but in a new update, Darkstone Digital has confirmed the entire project has now been scrapped.
“It’s no secret that game development means constant change and challenges especially as a solo indie. It became clear that the game needed more time to ensure it was the best it could possibly be. [Publishers] DreadXP stood by my need for more time and, together, we made a request to Paramount for a time extension,” explained creator Brian Clarke.
“Sadly, Paramount did not agree to extend development. This left me with two choices: Rush through development and release a sub-par product I would not be proud of or request we go our separate ways. I chose the latter. Proudly, DreadXP stood by me every step of the way and we parted ways with Paramount amicably. It was an honor to even be considered to work on an IP I love so much.”
