Fear Fest is returning this September to showcase a ton of upcoming horror games and premiere the first ever Horror Games Awards.
Feardemic’s two-day event will begin on September 6 and be available to watch live exclusively on IGN’s YouTube and Twitch channels starting at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern / 7pm UK.
The coverage kicks off with Black Summer 2023: a spooky three-hour showcase of 2023 and 2024’s most anticipated horror games with world premiere trailers, developer interviews, special guest appearances, and content creator reactions.
Double the Fear, double the Fun!

The Horror Game Awards will take place on September 7 at the same time and will celebrate the best horror games of the last year and the developers who made them. The event will be broadcast live from the most haunted theatre in Krakow, with some of the most famous names in horror awarding golden bat trophies to the winners.
“We created this event in 2022 as a tribute to our horror community, and it turned out to be a huge success,” said CEO of Feardemic Scott Millard.
“This year we wanted to make this event even better and more valuable for the horror fans, so we decided to have two nights of horror: one to whet our appetites for the games coming soon and one to celebrate the games of the past year. And of course, IGN was the natural partner for Fear Fest and we are so excited to be working with them on this project.”
Voting for the Horror Games Awards will open later this year, with the gaming community able to choose between nominees across 15 different categories.
