What is happening now
Prison of Husks is a soulslike action RPG arriving January 27, 2027 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, with a Mac version also planned. The game distinguishes itself through deliberate aesthetic choices - it runs in 4:3 aspect ratio with deliberately softened, hazy visuals that evoke early 2000s console presentation rather than current-generation fidelity. The visual direction has drawn attention from critics covering the title, with comparisons to the artistic sensibility of auteur game design. While soulslike action games have become increasingly common, Prison of Husks' retro-inspired presentation appears designed to set it apart within the genre. The game launches as a PlayStation 5 console exclusive before coming to other platforms.
