PHL Games and DreadXP have released an official announcement trailer for the Creepshow video game, scheduled for release in August 2026 [1].

The adaptation brings the established horror anthology franchise into an interactive format, targeting fans of the series and the point-and-click adventure genre. By blending horror, humor, and comic-book style dread, the project seeks to translate the episodic nature of the source material into a story-rich gaming experience [3].

Developed by PHL Games and published by DreadXP, the title features executive producer Greg Nicotero [1, 2]. The game is designed as a point-and-click adventure, a style that emphasizes puzzle-solving and narrative progression over fast-paced action [3].

The official trailer, released this week, provides the first look at the visual style and atmosphere of the game. While some reports describe the release as falling within a broader Fall 2026 window [1], specific targeting points to August 2026 [1].

The title will be available on PC via Steam [1, 2]. This platform choice allows the developers to leverage the digital distribution system for a niche horror audience that typically favors indie and atmospheric titles.

Greg Nicotero, known for his extensive work in special effects and production for horror cinema, serves as the executive producer for the project [1, 2]. His involvement suggests a focus on the high-fidelity practical horror aesthetics that define the Creepshow brand.

“The game is designed as a point-and-click adventure.”

The transition of Creepshow into a point-and-click adventure indicates a strategic move to prioritize narrative atmosphere over traditional action-horror gameplay. By partnering with DreadXP and involving Greg Nicotero, the developers are leaning into the franchise's visual heritage to attract a dedicated cult following on the PC market.
