The Occultist, a psychological-horror game from developer Daloar and publisher Daedalic Entertainment, will now arrive on PS5 sometime in 2026, instead of its originally planned 2025 release window.
Announced in summer 2024, and meant to arrive sometime this year, this was also our first look at actual gameplay for The Occultist, since the announcement trailer was just a CG-showcase.
So far, Daloar hasn’t commented on the fact that it has been delayed. It is however, potentially telling that this was a decision that Daloar made very recently. It’s opening blog at the top of January 2025 was called “The year of The Occultist,” so the team must have at least thought that it would still hit its 2025 release date at that point.
As of today though, just a day short of three months after that blog post, we now know we won’t be seeing The Occultist arrive until next year.
At least we know what the gameplay looks like now. You can check out the new trailer for yourself, below.
