‘The Backrooms 1998’ Exits Early Access “Soon”; PlayStation, Xbox and Switch Versions Announced [Trailer]

After being in Early Access since May of 2022, Steelkrill Studio and Feardemic have announced that The Backrooms 1998 will finally be launching in full “very soon” on Steam, as well as receiving a release to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and the Nintendo Switch. No exact date has been revealed just yet, but we do get a new trailer. The game can also be wishlisted on the PlayStation Store.

This “escape room” title is a first-person psychological survival horror title that centres on a young teen who happens to fall into the depths of The Backrooms. What is The Backrooms? That’s for you to find out. However, you’ve also got to escape. You can roam freely while searching for clues, ways to mark just where you’ve been, medicine to help you to stay sane, and previous batteries to keep your light going. All the while, you’ll come across footage telling the story of just what happened in 1998.

You’re not alone in The Backrooms 1998. Whatever it is, it can hear you. As a result, you’ll have to take of care where you step and what you bump into. Don’t scream or it will hear you. Run when you have to, but mind your stamina. You can also hide in crawl spaces, under tables or in lockers, but don’t make a sound.

The full 1.0 release brings “a host of updates and improvements” to The Backrooms 1998, including:

• Achievements: Unlock rewards as you navigate the eerie labyrinth and survive its horrors.
• Better Visuals: Enhanced graphics and textures for a more immersive and unsettling environment.
• Updated Jumpscares: Fresh, more heart-stopping moments to haunt your dreams.
• Improved Graphics & Bug Fixes: Smoother gameplay and refined visuals for a polished experience.
• Terrifying Experience: Fine-tuned mechanics that push the horror elements to a whole new level.
