‘The Conjuring: Unspoken’ Trailer and Release Date Confirmed

For nine films, ‘The Conjuring’ has invited viewers to sit in the dark while someone braver ventures into the basement. The franchise has expanded with spin-offs, sequels, and even a Fortnite tie-in map for ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites,’ but it has never handed fans the ghost-hunting gear to take on the challenge themselves.

That is about to change. ‘The Conjuring: Unspoken,’ announced earlier this fall as the franchise’s first standalone video game, has transitioned from a vague “coming soon” listing to a confirmed schedule, perfectly timed for the Halloween season.

Netflix has officially revealed the release date and released the first trailer, along with a collection of new screenshots. The game is set to launch exclusively on Netflix next week, and the trailer begins with a calm voice saying, “I’m here to look into the strange things that have been happening to you.”

The Conjuring: Unspoken — a new game — is coming to Netflix October 13.

Set in the Red Lion Inn, a decaying English pub haunted by an ancient evil, players will step into the shoes of demonologist Francesca Noakes, who investigates the haunting using her phone as a paranormal investigation tool. Netflix states that players will make life-or-death choices that will influence the story.

The trailer and screenshots showcase dark, cinematic visuals, featuring the protagonist wielding her ghost-hunting equipment in dimly lit corridors. The gear includes an electromagnetic field reader, an infrared camera, and a spirit box, essential tools for uncovering apparitions.

The haunting revolves around the Cooper family. According to Netflix, players will use their wits and smartphones to liberate the Coopers from the clutches of a grief-feeding demon named Vinea and a ghost from English folklore known as Florrie. This setup aligns with the franchise’s signature blend of family trauma and slow-burn dread.

You do not need to have seen the films to enjoy the game. However, a few familiar faces will appear, so franchise veterans may find additional enjoyment in the experience.

This is not your typical mobile game. ‘The Conjuring: Unspoken’ is a cinematic, cloud-based title designed for television play, with your phone acting as the controller. The big screen displays your virtual environment, while your handheld device allows you to utilize the investigation tools, similar to Netflix’s recent TV games like ‘Unhinged.’

The game is developed by Supermassive Games, the studio behind ‘The Dark Pictures Anthology,’ ‘Until Dawn,’ ‘House of Ashes,’ ‘Little Hope,’ and ‘Directive 8020.’ Collaborating with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, this pedigree explains why early comparisons have drawn parallels to ‘Until Dawn,’ a similarly choice-driven horror experience.

The lead-up to this reveal was notably quiet. The game first appeared in Netflix’s monthly newsletter in late September, described in just two sentences without a developer name, gameplay footage, or a specific date beyond “October.” Netflix later clarified that it would be a cloud game playable on TV, with the developer only mentioned alongside the new trailer.

The timing places the franchise in an intriguing position. ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ marked the conclusion of the universe’s initial phase, while the next film, ‘The Conjuring: First Communion,’ is currently slated for release on September 10, 2027. ‘Unspoken’ provides a fresh case in the meantime, focusing on a haunted inn and its troubled supernatural residents.

This release also aligns with Netflix’s growing emphasis on cloud and TV gaming, which the company has been developing through titles that transform the living room into a play space. Launching a major horror brand with an established audience is a strategic move for October, a time when viewers seek out chilling experiences.

Whether the game can capture the tension of the films remains to be seen, but the trailer indicates it is taking the franchise’s atmosphere seriously. With a haunted pub, a grieving family, and your phone as the only weapon, the premise promises plenty of nerve-wracking moments.
