Lovecraft’s work are likely used to with intense third-person gameplay,Quantum Erroris a game to watch for horror and sci-fi gaming enthusiasts. There are many elements of the game that fans of the genre are likely to be familiar with, as it seems to blend aspects from othersuccessful horror titles such asDead SpaceandAlien: Isolation.
According toQuantum Error’sdescription page, the game combines both third-person and first-person perspective, allowing for some immersive and spooky moments while walking around the narrow corridors of the game’s Monad Quantum Research Facility.

The latest trailer forQuantum Errordropped yesterday on Sony’s official YouTube channel. It’s not been stated whether the game will be coming out for other platforms, though it will definitely be arriving to PS5 in the future. The trailer showed offQuantum Error’sprotagonist, Captain Jacob Thomas of the Garboa Fire Department in San Francisco, alongside plenty of gameplay footage created using Unreal Engine 5. It was announced in September 2021 thatQuantum Errorwould be using the latest Unreal Engine, which has allowed for the game to have graphical upgrades to create some impressive environments.
Besides some immersive and eerie footage of the setting ofQuantum Error, the game also showed off some of the more action-oriented gameplay, displaying what appeared to be a boss fight. While some horror games such asGhostwire: Tokyohave faced criticism for including too much action, when done right, a combination of action and horror can keep the player feeling scared by their surroundings while allowing them to do more than just run away.
Something thatQuantum Errordid not show in the new trailer was what the enemies of the game might look like, keeping with the idea that the game will revolve around cosmic horror. Cosmic horror, as seen inLovecraft-inspired games likeCall of CthulhuandBloodborne, sees the player face off against an unknown entity that can drive a person to madness just with its presence. This sort of horror is often difficult to make work, though when it is done right, it can make for some terrifying existential scares.
