Future Roadmap for Phasmophobia

Kinectic Games has released a new future roadmap for Phasmophobia of what they had planned to hit in 2022 and what they have done. A lot has been pushed back into 2023, and more minor updates will be released instead of waiting six months for big ones to occur.

What is the Apocalypse update in Phasmophobia?

The next update planned for Phasmophobia is called Apocolypse, coming on September 27. The update intends to add a new main menu board and other additions such as custom options players can select such as how much evidence ghosts give during matches. The full list can be found below.

When are new maps coming to Phasmophobia?

New maps are coming to Phasmophobia in the Apocalypse update. There are eight coming in total, but five of those are smaller segments of the bigger maps released Sunny Meadows.

  • New MapsSunny Meadows - A mental institution expected to work similarly to the Asylum map.Sunny Meadows Restricted - A division of the Sunny Meadows map cut up into five small maps.Camp Woodwind - A small variation of the Campsite map.

New places will be worked on alongside this update and released when they are finished instead of released alongside substantial updates.

The Small House map is the latest release, leaving two more in the pipeline.

  • The Mansion, which by the sounds of things, could be massive.The Apartment Building, so we think it’ll be a smaller map for newer players to the game, or it might be based over in a complex, meaning it could ultimately become the biggest map in the game.

Progression update in Phasmophobia

The Progression update has been split into a few smaller parts, and a lot of it has been pushed back into 2023. The first part, however, is turning into a separate update called the URP upgrade. The accurate Progression updates focus on overhauling Phasmophobia at its core and creating new animations, models, and more from scratch.

This update will be released in many smaller parts throughout the year, in four to five smaller updates.
