TeamKill Media has put out a new trailer for upcoming cosmic horror game Quantum Error running on the PlayStation 5.
As is par for the course in horror games, there’s quite a few things to decipher in the footage but the broad plot overview goes like this. You’re playing as Capt Jacob Thomas, a member of the San Francisco fire department. You’re called out to an incident at the Monad Quantum Research Facility, 30 miles offshore. Something has attacked the complex and engulfed it in flames, and it falls to you to get the survivors out.
As you can imagine, what starts off as a routine rescue mission quickly becomes anything but. It’ll be down to you and your team, including Fire Chief Sturgis and your partner Shane Costa, to save as many people as you can. However, along the way you can expect creepy corridors amd sci-fi weapons including a glowing energy sword. We also get a glimpse of some tentacles giving off a very Cthulhu-esque vibe.
To decipher all of this, well we’ll have to wait and see. We’ve known about the game since March of 2020, and previous trailers have remained cagey about the game’s overarching narrative. Suffice to say, it’s certainly looking the part in this latest footage, which uses Unreal Engine 5 to showcase some very cool fire effects and creepy lighting.
Hopefully we’ll find out more in the coming months. Quantum Error still doesn’t have a specific date yet, but it sounds like the devs are aiming for a launch later this year. The game is currently expected to land on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X|S.
