First-person psychological horror Total Chaos has been delayed to Q4 to ensure it’s “as haunting and unforgettable as it needs to be”

From Press Release:

DALLAS, TX (July 3, 2025) | Today, storied gaming publisher Apogee Entertainment and developer Trigger Happy Interactive announced that the highly anticipated psychological survival horror title, Total Chaos, will now release in Q4 2025 on Windows PC.

Heed the call of Fort Oasis, for its dark secrets will be uncovered later this year… 

Total Chaos isn’t just a game, it’s a descent. A personal one. Every shadow, every sound, every silence has meaning. This delay gives me the time to ensure that the journey into Fort Oasis is as haunting and unforgettable as it needs to be,” said Total Chaos developer and head of Trigger Happy Interactive, Sam Prebble. “The island will be waiting… and it won’t let you leave unchanged.”

Total Chaos is a pulse-pounding, atmospheric nightmare that blends different eras of survival horror hallmarks. It features classically inspired resource management, methodical melee combat and gunplay, haunting visuals, and grotesque environments and creatures.

Originally conceived as an award-winning total conversion mod of DOOM II in 2018, Total Chaos has been significantly reimagined and expanded into a modern standalone experience, amplifying its chilling atmosphere and relentless tension for a new generation of players.
