    Don’t Go into the Woods: Santa Barbara Games Announces ‘Voidwood’, a New Co-Op Survival Horror Game

    If your friend group’s favourite weekend activity is screaming in terror together on Discord, add this one to your Steam wishlist immediately.

    Santa Barbara Games has officially announced Voidwood, a 1–4 player co-op survival horror game slated to launch on Steam in 2027.

    Set in an eerie, ancient forest that looks deceptively inviting by sunup, Voidwood promises a thrilling mix of atmospheric exploration, strategic crafting, and heart-pounding nocturnal survival.

    What is Voidwood?

    At first glance, the world of Voidwood welcomes you with lush canopies, tranquil streams, and hidden ruins. But don’t let the scenic views fool you—this forest carries a sinister curse.

    The core gameplay centres around a tense, day-and-night cycle:

    • By Day (Explore & Prepare): You and up to three friends must venture out into the wild. Use the sunlight to gather vital resources, build a fortified base, craft traps, and unravel the lore behind the forest’s curse.
    • By Night (Survive the Hunt): As soon as darkness falls, the atmosphere shifts drastically. The cursed woods transform into lethal hunting grounds filled with terrifying creatures. Your group’s survival depends on how well you fortified your shelter during the day and how well you work together in the dark.

    Perfect for Fans of Co-Op Horror

    Combining the addictive resource-management of survival titles like Sons of the Forest and Valheim with the terrifying co-op tension of games like Phasmophobia and Lethal Company, Voidwood aims to test both your survival instincts and your friendships.

    Will you stick together to hold the line, or leave your buddy behind as bait when the woods come alive?

    Release Date & Platforms

    Voidwood is being developed for PC via Steam, with a target release window in 2027.
