The Park Will Make Its Way To Consoles In Early 2016

The Park

Funcom is excited to announce that ‘The Park‘, the company’s brand new single-player psychological horror experience, will be unleashing its scares on PlayStation 4 and on Xbox One consoles via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program in Q1 2016. After a successful launch for Windows PC during Halloween this year, Funcom is looking forward to once again opening the gates to its horror theme park in what will be the company’s first console release in almost ten years.

“Encouraged by the positive reactions we have received on the Windows PC version, we are very excited about bringing it to consoles,” says Funcom CEO Rui Casais. “Exploring a dark, sinister and frankly terrifying location from the comfort of your sofa, with the lights turned off and controller in hand, is sure to be a very rewarding experience.”

Offering up a psychological horror story set in a unique and unusual setting, ‘The Park‘ generated a lot of attention when it premiered during Halloween this year. It quickly became a favorite among streamers, and a quick YouTube search revealed more than seven million views on various Let’s Play videos during the first week following release. Among the extensive media coverage, UK newspaper The Telegraph included it in its list of ‘Five Modern Horror Games You Must Play This Halloween’.
