The film and TV production company behind The Purge, Insidious, and Paranormal Activity, is creating a new Blumhouse Games division to produce and publish original horror games from indie creators
Blumhouse, the film production company behind Paranormal Activity, The Purge, Insidious, the Halloween reboot, and Get Out, has announced the launch of a new video game production and publishing label.
Blumhouse Games will work with independent developers to create “original, horror-themed games” for console, PC, and mobile. The outfit will target productions with smaller, “indie” budgets, which it describes as below $10 million. This echoes the strategy of Blumhouse’s film business, which has kept its production budgets modest even as its films have enjoyed an incredible run of box-office success over the last 15 years. The word “original” suggests the games won’t be licensed from those Blumhouse film properties.
