======================================================================

Genre-defining horror game Phasmophobia's console release has been delayed 
following a fire at the team's offices. 

 In an exciting surprise reveal earlier this year , genre-defining horror 
game Phasmophobia announced that it would finally be coming to consoles with 
an early access release announced for later this year. 

However, a "fire incident" has hampered the team's efforts to get the console 
release out in August as planned, and consequently, the release date has 
slipped to Halloween. 

"Due to a recent fire incident in our office building and unpredictable 
development issues, our ability to test and develop has been significantly 
impacted," Kinetic said in a statement posted to social media. We have an 
update on our console release.#Phasmophobia #Xbox #PlayStation

"After careful consideration, we have made the tough decision to delay the 
console release, initially set for August, while we get everything sorted. 

"We are now aiming for a special launch during the week leading up to 
Halloween this October. This gives us the needed time to perfect and 
fine-tune everything. 

"Your patience and understanding mean everything to us, and we can't wait to 
bring Phasmophobia to consoles." 

 Phasmophobia has just received its biggest update yet , ushering in a new 
progression system and a raft of new in-game items. 

As well as a revamp of animations, Phasmophobia: Ascension  or Progression 
2.0 as its also titled  refreshes almost everything seasoned ghosthunters are 
used to, including equipment, evidence, and a brand-new prestige setting that 
will wipe out your bank account and investigatory items every 100 levels in 
exchange for a new inventory slot. 

When Phasmophobia finally does hunt you down on console, it will have all its 
24 ghost types and 10 locations, with cross-play available to those wishing 
to cross the streams and play with friends who don't own a PC.
