The 2012 viral phenomenon returns! He is ready. Are you?

Survive with friends in online multiplayer & splitscreen, immerse yourself with full Virtual Reality support, build your own terrifying maps with the in-game level editor, and customise your character into a thing of beauty… or an abomination.

Hunted, once again

A tall, slender, faceless figure stalks you through your favourite maps: Sanatorium, Hospice, Elementary, Mansion, 7th Street, Prison, Carnival, and Forest: the first new map in the series since 2013, taking you back to where it all began

Seven ways to play

Seven game modes span a full range of difficulties, from slow-burn dread to frantic party-style chaos: maximum fear, maximum replayability. Beat each one to raise your level and earn your bragging rights.

He remembers you

Since 2012, you have grown. So has your adversary. As his aggression builds, your mind will corrupt and his influence will bleed into the world around you.

Will you survive?
