The Conjuring Gets Its First Video Game, Landing on Netflix This October

Netflix is about to enter the haunted house genre with its own video game, The Conjuring: Unspoken, a cinematic title slated to launch on the streaming platform this October. The move marks the first time the horror film franchise — which has released ten movies over the past decade — is venturing into interactive media, and it signals a growing commitment from the streamer to cloud-based gaming following the summer success of Unhinged.

The announcement arrived quietly, tucked into the platform’s monthly “New on Netflix” newsletter, which offered only a brief teaser about what players might expect. “What is haunting the Red Lion Inn? Scan for paranormal signals and investigate the eerie events troubling a grieving family in this cinematic game,” the blurb read. Beyond that, details remain scarce, with no confirmed launch date, no developer named, and no clarity on whether the franchise’s iconic investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren will appear.

A Cinematic, Cloud-Based Approach

Unlike other titles under Netflix’s gaming umbrella, Unspoken is expected to be a cloud-based experience, meaning it is unlikely to be tied to mobile devices or any single console or PC platform. The “cinematic” label suggests a heavy emphasis on narrative and grand cutscenes rather than the interactive, first-person gameplay that defined Unhinged — a title that cast real-life personalities such as Zoë Kravitz and Sadie Sink in leading roles. Whether Unspoken will follow that interactive model or chart a different course remains one of the biggest unknowns surrounding the project.

“We’re scratching the surface in terms of what we think the total potential of the space offers for us. You’re going to see us continue to calibrate and refine our level of investment here, which is still very small relative to our overall content spend based on demonstrated performance based on what is working for our members and what’s delivering returns to our business.”

Greg Peters, co-CEO of Netflix

The timing is deliberate. Unspoken is expected to arrive on the heels of Silent Hill: Townfall, Konami’s latest entry in its long-running horror series and the studio’s second title in two years. The game has drawn strong praise, with IGN awarding it an 8 out of 10, and it sets a high bar for any Netflix original hoping to capture the attention of horror fans this spooky season.

A Franchise With Deep Roots

The Conjuring franchise traces its origins to James Wan’s 2013 debut, which launched what has become one of the most commercially successful horror universes in modern cinema. The series has since expanded into multiple phases, with the newest film, The Conjuring: Last Rites, released in 2025 as the final chapter of its first phase. The Conjuring: First Communion is slated for 2027, though details remain thin. The franchise’s reach already extends beyond the big screen — Fortnite featured a map themed around Last Rites in 2025 — suggesting a built-in audience hungry for more Conjuring content.

Looking Ahead

As the release window approaches, the primary concern among observers is not the game itself but the studio behind it. Unhinged was produced by Nightschool, whose developer has since been shut down despite the title being hailed as one of the streamer’s most successful cloud game debuts. With Unspoken representing Netflix’s first fully dedicated Conjuring adaptation, the industry is watching closely to see whether the studio can sustain momentum and deliver a game that lives up to the franchise’s reputation.

For now, players are left to speculate about what awaits at the Red Lion Inn, and whether the Warrens will be among those investigating the paranormal signals. One thing is certain: Netflix is betting that its cloud gaming ambitions can carry a legacy horror franchise into a new, interactive era.
