Retro-inspired survival horror sequel “Tormented Souls 2” gets a release date

Prepare to enter an entirely new nightmare in Tormented Souls 2, coming to Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com on 23rd October 2025!

To celebrate the impending release of this chilling throwback to classic survival horror, PQube and Dual Effect have partnered with the Future Games Show at Gamescom 2025 to showcase a pulse-pounding new gameplay trailer, and reveal first details of the monstrous bosses that Caroline will encounter while exploring the hellish ‘Other side’ of Villa Hess.



In the wake of her sister Anna’s traumatic abduction at the hands of Mother Lucia and her twisted cult, Caroline Walker finds herself trapped deep within the walls of a maze-like convent. With the darkness closing in, Caroline is unexpectedly reacquainted with her old friend, the pneumatic nailer, and so begins a desperate struggle to escape the unholy place.

But once free of the convent, the true horror of the secluded Villa Hess reveals itself and Caroline must again call upon her supernatural abilities to travel to the town’s mysterious ‘Other side’ and face the formidable creatures that await within…

In the original Tormented Souls it was Caroline’s latent supernatural powers that allowed her to utilise mirrors and video tapes to traverse between alternate realities and timelines to ultimately save Anna from her cruel fate.

In Tormented Souls 2, Caroline will continue to embrace these powers as she steps into Villa Hess’ mysterious ‘Other side’ and ‘replays’ memories stored on video tapes. Crucially Caroline’s actions in these locations will directly affect the current timeline in Villa Hess, while revealing more about the town’s dark history.

Only the foulest and most dangerous creatures reside within the ‘Other side’ and Caroline must be extra vigilant when exploring this twisted new reality. Deadliest of all are beings of immense power that have gorged on the misery and corruption that envelops the region.


Wielding a huge crucifix and protected by a heavy plated mask, the Iron Maiden is a hulking behemoth and cruel disciplinarian who administers punishment amongst the convent’s sisterhood.

Meanwhile, deep beneath the stinking halls of the Wildberger & Hess Fish Processing Plant sleeps The Harvester, a terrifying fusion of twisted metal and scorched flesh. Armed with a lethal buzzsaw and gaping maw filled with razor sharp teeth, this subterranean horror seems impervious to all but the heaviest of weapons
