5 Biggest Horror Games Releasing in March 2026

Another month begins and as ever, the horrors persist but so do we, and we return with March’s horror game releases. This month’s release dates have made this introduction an easy one: on March 10th we can sink into some deep-sea horror with Crabmeat, and explore a cheeky bit of family trauma in Unsealed: The Mare.

Explosive action arrives on March 12th with John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, as well as supernatural photography in Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake. And finally, not-so-sweet melodies can be found in Project Songbird on March 27th.

1. Crabmeat

Crabmeat releases on March 10th for PC, with a demo available now on Steam.

Horror and the ocean go hand-in-hand, and the ominous combination appears once more in Crabmeat.

In Crabmeat, you play as a prisoner paying off your debts by crabbing in the Antarctic ocean. As you endeavour to fulfil your quota within the 7 day time limit, you must manage your complex crabbing vessel alone. And naturally, king crabs won’t be the only creature lurking in the unknown depths below.

You can get a taste of Crabmeat early with a demo available now on Steam. 

2. Unsealed: The Mare

Unsealed: The Mare will be available on PS5 and PC from March 10th.

Unsealed: The Mare places you in the tortured mind of Vera, caught in a nightmare reality shaped by the trauma of her family’s past.

Throughout the three chapters, you will discover more of the family’s tragic history, while listening out for audio cues from unwelcome members of the household. Vera must use her ‘focus memory’ to reveal hidden messages in the cluttered hallways and use everyday items such as your flashlight, lighter and camera as your only line of defence against the distorted memories.

You can explore the creepy house early with a demo available now on Steam. 

3. John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando will be available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S from March 12th.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is a collab between developers Saber Interactive and legendary horror film director John Carpenter – just in case the title didn’t give that away. A FPS looter shooter which can be played in single player or a squad of four, you and your squad have been hired to put a stop to a failed science experiment. 

Most likely with some cheesy comedy along the way, use an arsenal of weapons and vehicles to destroy the Sludge God and its army of undead. Working together is crucial for survival against the bizarre eldritch entity. 

4. Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake

Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake releases on March 12th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is the next in the Fatal Frame series to receive the makeover treatment. You can expect all the usual features that come with a complete remake; a graphics and audio overhaul, enhancing the recreated Minakami Village to be more ominous than ever, as well as improved and developed gameplay.

Of course, the iconic ‘Camera Obscura’ mechanic returns – a camera which allows you to capture and combat the supernatural, with features such as zooming and switching filters which have different functions for you to utilise throughout the game. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake will also introduce new areas and side stories to explore, so even the narrative will be fresh for returning players.

5. Project Songbird

Project Songbird will be available from March 27th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Project Songbird is described in an interview with Bloody Disgusting as a narrative-driven horror game with a mix of influences ranging from Firewatch and What Remains of Edith Finch to darker, more cinematic inspirations in Robert Eggers and David Lynch.

In Project Songbird, you play as a musician who retires to an isolated cabin in the Appalachian forest to record their next album, and the rest of the story remains a mystery until release. 

That said, Project Songbird promises a stacked voice cast, including the voice of Edith Finch herself, sure to make whatever events follow an immersive cinematic experience, with some combat elements along the way.
