SOMA E3 trailer explains what sucks about dying

Soma

Based on this trailer, SOMA could well end up a runaway favourite for horror fans and shrieking Let's Players alike. It's Frictional's sci-fi follow-up to Amnesia, and it's due out later this year, on September 22.

Luckily, you won't have to wait until September to get more information on this atmospheric adventure. Frictional will be a guest at our E3 show, which takes place on June 16 at 6pm PDT.

Editor-in-Chief

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
