# Japanese survival horror game Yuoni announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and PC

Publisher Chorus Worldwide and Japanese developer Tricore have announced survival horror game Yuoni for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It will launch in spring 2021.

Yuoni will support 4K resolution and 60 frames per second on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. It will be playable for the first time, in 4K resolution, at Digital Games Expo 2020 at Akihabara UDX in Tokyo, Japan on November 29.

Here is an overview of the game, via Chorus Worldwide:

“Hey, wanna play Yuoni?”

With those words, the girl was swept away to another world dyed in the evening glow—. A school building, an old Japanese-style house, a gloomy hospital… a sunset world that combines the nostalgic and ominous.

The first half of the game is “a game of hide and seek” in which you must hold your breath, hide from enemies, and search for items, whereas the second half is a “game of tag” in which you must escape the approaching enemies. Yuoni is a first-person horror action game with two completely different faces.

Tricore’s previous game, Yuoni: Rises, is a horror visual novel that first launched for PC via Steam in April 2019, followed by Switch via the Nintendo eShop in February 2020. According to the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, Chorus Worldwide is also considering porting the predecessor to additional platforms.
