Known for their excellent horror games Detention and Devotion, Red Candle Games seems to be trying something new. Earlier, the developer released a short teaser related to their new project, and it doesn’t seem to be horror related.
The small teaser was released on Red Candle Games’ Twitter page. The short clip can be seen below, and it depicts two figures about to battle one another in an area with flowing water. Aesthetically, this feels very much like the developer, but this project is brand-new gameplay-wise. However, fans will just have to wait for more info!

The developer’s last game, Devotion, was controversial upon release. While being highly praised in reviews, the game was taken down due to a Winnie the Pooh meme mocking Chinese president Xi Jinping. Devotion was supposed to rerelease on GOG in 2020, but the platform decided against it after fans showed concern. Red Candle Games then took matters into their own hands and released the game on their own site.
If you’d like to check out Red Candle Games’ past work (and I highly suggest that you do!), Detention is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox, PC and mobile. If the game isn’t enough, Netflix recently adapted Detention into a series. Devotion is available here for $16.99.
