Kinetic Games is greeting the New Year with an updated roadmap (https://steamcommunity.com/games/739630/announcements/detail/3883856311504002775?) for Phasmophobia.


This Roadmap is a little unusual in the sense that it only features milestones but lacks any release windows. The announcement shows the planned feature updates through to the 1.0 release from early access, but doesn?t really give any idea as to what the timeline is. This isn?t even a 2024 roadmap. It?s for 2024 and beyond.

Nonetheless, it gives you an idea of what needs to be done before the developer considers it complete enough to call it done. This includes lighting updates in 0.9 (which arrives next week after the holiday event ends), new tasks in 0.10, new play models in 0.11, and further overhauls in the 1.0 release. Beyond this is also the console release, the Point Hope map, and other maps beyond that, which are planned for release as they?re done rather than being packed with major updates.


Beyond the roadmap, Kinetic Games? announcement includes information about the Point Hope Lighthouse map, showing off the bathroom and the basement workshop. Also discussed is the changes happening to the two farmhouse maps. Previously, they were too similar (I couldn?t even tell you which is which), but they plan on giving both of them their own individual flourishes. Mainly, a number of rooms are being converted to having specific purposes. Grafton will also be made to look more rundown, while Bleasdale will be the opposite, being made more posh and ostentatious.


While a timeline for these updates isn?t given, we do know that 0.9 will be arriving next week. I can certainly understand why they wouldn?t want to make promises after development on the game was upended by an office fire last year (https://www.destructoid.com/phasmophobia-console-launch-delayed-to-october-due-to-fire-incident/).


Phasmophobia is currently available on PC via Early Access (https://store.steampowered.com/app/739630/Phasmophobia/). The Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PSVR2 versions have been delayed to an unspecified date.
