Sam Barlow has revealed his next game, Precognition.

The game from the creator of Her Story and Immortality was previously teased as ‘Project C’ but has now been given the name Precognition, along with some more information. It’s a live-action sci-fi horror game created in collaboration with filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg, the director of Possessor and Infinity Pool.

In Precognition, you’ll be playing Diana, a woman who begins to receive visions of the future after an implant is installed into her brain.

Just like his previous game, Immortality, Precognition will combine live-action FMV sequences in a non-linear fashion.

“We’ve really been trying to test the limits of non-linear storytelling, focusing on how the game feels to play, while encouraging player agency and freedom,” Barlow said.

Cronenberg has co-developed the story and joined the game’s writing room alongside Barlow, bringing his experience with psychological and body horror to the project.

“The films I make tend to be subjective and experiential, with the horror emerging as one person’s perspective of the world warps around them,” Cronenberg said.

Precognition will launch in Spring 2028 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
