KARMA: The Dark World Reveals First in a Chilling Final Trilogy of Trailers
The Seal is Fully Broken as Developer and Publisher Reveal more about the Thriller Inspired by Lynch, Kojima, and Nolan
Watford, UK - 28th of January, 2025 – Award-winning publisher Wired Productions and independent developer Pollard Studio are excited unveil an ambitious final trilogy of trailers that will lead up to the game's eagerly anticipated release date, due to be announced very soon.
Inspired by the works of visionary creators such as David Lynch (Twin Peaks), Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid, Death Stranding), and Christopher Nolan (Inception, Interstellar), KARMA: The Dark World pushes the boundaries of immersive storytelling. Developed in Unreal Engine 5, the game promises to deliver a gripping and visually stunning experience. Wired Productions can also reveal KARMA: The Dark World has been rated ESRB Mature and PEGI 18.
"We are deeply saddened by the passing of director David Lynch. His art has had a profound influence on our game development, inspiring us to pay tribute to and learn from his work." said Ke Yang, Art Director of Pollard Studio.
Creative Director Yonghe Wang added "In our studio's movie nights, we often choose to watch his work. Our games have also been inspired by David Lynch's creations. Compared to other directors' styles, David Lynch's work has always struck a chord. His films always feel sophisticated, carrying a unique, surreal quality."
"The colors, the camera work, the character nuances; everything about his art feels intentional and profound. While we could never surpass a master like Lynch, we hope to learn from him—to understand how he created the Lynchian aesthetic and to adapt that sensibility into other forms of art. This is something we aspire to."
To build excitement for KARMA: The Dark World, the developers have planned a trilogy of trailers that will reveal key aspects of the game's haunting story, immersive world, and intense gameplay mechanics. The first trailer in this series debuts today, setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Karma: The Dark World is a first-person cinematic psychological horror title where players investigate the deepest secrets of their suspects' minds. What starts out as another case for Roam Agent Daniel McGovern, sees him uncover a world of deceit and betrayal, where he begins to doubt everything, he knows, including his own identity.
Meticulously crafted in Unreal Engine 5, KARMA: The Dark World will be coming soon to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox. Players can wishlist Karma: The Dark World on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox now.
