Escape the Backrooms is adding three new levels this December, as part of a party-themed update called the After Party.

The short version

  • Publisher Secret Mode announced the news on 8th October, after the update was teased at the Triple-I Initiative showcase, the same presentation in which we learned the developer of El Paso, Elsewhere announced Gods With Badges .
  • The After Party is meant to bring a celebratory vibe to the co-op horror game, with new skins to dress up in alongside the new levels, so we can indulge in a little cake before running screaming from the entities that live in the Backrooms.
  • Before then, a selection of free and paid cosmetics is arriving in October.

What happened

It sounds like you'll be able to dress up as an entity yourself, if you fancy scaring your friends. Escape the Backrooms, from developer Fancy Games, has now been played by more than 12 million people since it launched in Early Access in 2022.

Why it matters

It's a one to four-player co-op horror game with more than 30 levels, and is available on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2 .
