'The Shore' Gets Enhanced Edition For PS5 And Xbox Series X|S Later This Year - Screens & Trailer

The Shore is a first-person Lovecraftian horror adventure that blends exploration and environmental puzzles in a world shaped by ancient gods and forbidden knowledge.

The Shore is a game about the mystery of the unknown, set on a forbidden island filled with horrors. Based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft, the story features many of his best-known creations and more. Players will see the world through the eyes of Andrew, a father in search of his lost daughter. Players will experience The Shore through immersive, atmospheric gameplay and encounter the most nightmarish Lovecraftian entities, all while solving mind-bending puzzles. Try to survive as Andrew as he endeavours to save his daughter’s life and, perhaps, uncover the secrets lurking within his own sanity.

Presented with a Lovecraftian style, as players dive deeper and deeper into the mystery, they’ll face overwhelming odds, Andrew's moments that will make you question his sanity, and a series of slow-burn scenes. It’s only by mastering the artifacts of the old gods combat mechanic that they can stay one step ahead of the darkness that tries to swallow the world of his, but will that be enough?

With the ghost of an action/mystery/horror play style and the mind of a psychological thriller, The Shore's dramatic atmosphere, deep and multilayered story, and exceptionally tense, horrific combat sequences provide players with an overwhelming and stunning gaming experience.

Knowledge comes at a terrible cost.


Five years after its PC debut, The Shore is officially coming to consoles as The Shore: Enhanced Edition, launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This milestone release celebrates the game's anniversary while bringing Dragonis Games' atmospheric Lovecraftian horror adventure to console players worldwide.

Originally released on PC in February 2021, The Shore quickly gained recognition as a standout indie horror experience, praised for its oppressive atmosphere, towering eldritch entities, and deeply personal narrative rooted in cosmic horror. Created by Ares Dragonis as the debut title of Dragonis Games, the game resonated with horror fans worldwide and established the studio's reputation for atmospheric, story-driven experiences.

Now, through a publishing partnership with Iphigames, The Shore: Enhanced Edition enters a new chapter. The game has been fully adapted for modern console platforms, delivering a refined and immersive experience optimized for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

"Five years ago, we released The Shore and introduced players to a world of cosmic dread", said Ares Dragonis, founder of Dragonis Games. "Bringing the Enhanced Edition to consoles is both a celebration of that journey and an opportunity to share this nightmare with an entirely new audience. We're grateful to everyone who has supported the game since 2021, and excited to welcome console players to the shore."
