Our take
The release of The Conjuring: Unspoken on October 13, 2026, marks a significant expansion of the franchise into interactive media, leveraging the smartphone-as-controller mechanic to differentiate it from traditional console horror. This move follows the recent shutdown of Night School and staff reductions at Supermassive Games, highlighting Netflix's aggressive investment in original interactive content despite industry volatility.
Background
The Conjuring is an expansive horror film series that began in 2013, consisting of nine movies including spin-offs. Although the Ed and Lorraine Warren chapter concluded with Last Rites in 2025, the franchise continues with a prequel, The Conjuring: First Communion, scheduled for 2027. The Conjuring: Unspoken represents the franchise's entry into interactive video gaming.
The game is developed by Supermassive Games, a studio known for narrative horror titles like The Quarry and Until Dawn. In August 2026, Supermassive Games announced plans to lay off up to 75 staffers, with a former director stating on LinkedIn that more than 70 people would be leaving. This follows Netflix's June 2026 launch of Unhinged, developed by Night School, which was shut down in August 2026.
