New Game+ Mode for Psychological Horror Game Total Chaos

Apogee Entertainment and Sam Prebble Release Expansive New Game+ Mode for Psychological Horror Game Total Chaos

New Game+ is a Brutal Remix of Total Chaos, Featuring Expanded Story Content, New Final Chapter, New Locations, and an Unrelenting New Foe

New Game+ reimagines the first seven chapters of Total Chaos, twisting familiar locations into far more hostile gauntlets and culminates in a brand-new final chapter: Chapter 8 – Reckoning. Each existing chapter begins with a warning: something has been unleashed. Once The Hunter finds his target, there is no way to stop him. Survival depends on speed, awareness, and decision-making under pressure. 

Total Chaos' New Game+ is not designed for comfort. It is a deliberate escalation, intended for players willing to face Total Chaos at its most unforgiving. In addition to The Hunter, enemy encounters are significantly more aggressive, resources are brutally scarce, and hesitation is punished. It is meant to push players to the absolute brink, and even after all hope is lost, it continues to punish. 

Beyond its mechanical escalation, New Game+ also expands Total Chaos' narrative. A new ending extends the story beyond its original conclusion, offering new context for the protagonist's descent into Fort Oasis — and what it all ultimately meant.

Alongside the New Game+ update comes a Retro Tyler Voice Option — the original voice of the DOOM II total conversion mod — four additional save slots (eight total), various quality-of-life updates such as improved framerates in Performance mode, various bug fixes, text localization in French, Italian, Latin America Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, German, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, and new enemy-specific death animations for when players inevitably meet their end.

About Total Chaos:

Total Chaos is a pulse-pounding, atmospheric nightmare that blends different eras of survival horror hallmarks. It pulls players into the abyss of Fort Oasis, a desolate wasteland once considered paradise by its residential coal miner community. A shadow looms over the island, evoking a sense of madness that can only be described as the feeling of being constantly watched. Monstrosities lurk around every corner of the island's heart, trapping anybody daring enough to enter the void. While shooting and bludgeoning through these twisted foes, players will unearth fragments of forgotten lives to piece together the chilling mystery of Fort Oasis' demise (and their connection to it) before their sanity runs dry.

What began as an award-winning total conversion mod of DOOM II has now evolved into a fully standalone title, boasting a spine-tingling atmosphere and an aggressively uneasy tension throughout. Developer Sam Prebble leveraged his game (Turbo Overkill) and Hollywood (Avatar, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) visual effects talents to deliver a full-scale survival horror experience that will gnaw away at players' sense of safety.

Key Features of Total Chaos:

• Immersive Atmosphere: Explore the decayed ruins of Fort Oasis across nine harrowing chapters, each drenched in dread, plunging you deeper into its oppressive, decaying world.

• Environmental Storytelling: Uncover the island's darkest secrets and confront your own fractured past through cryptic notes, haunting visuals, and unsettling encounters.

• Crafting for Survival: Build and upgrade weapons using scavenged materials to stand a chance against the relentless terrors stalking you.

• Face Freakish Foes: Engage against horrific creatures, each with their own deadly behaviors and strategies.

• Resource Management: Navigate a deep inventory system where every item matters — your survival hinges on careful choices, crafting the perfect weapon, and quick thinking on the fly.

• A Haunting Original Soundtrack: Total Chaos features an original theme and end credits track by legendary Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka, joined by original Total Chaos mod composers Jason Dagenet and William Braddell, and Apogee's music team, Chipper Hammond, Tim Stoney, and Mathieu Hallouin. Together, they've crafted an ambient, nightmare-inducing soundscape that blurs the line between music and madness.

Total Chaos is available now for $24.99 on Windows PC via Steam (and is coming soon to GOG and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. SteamVR support for Total Chaos on PC will arrive in Q2 2026. 

A physical PlayStation 5 edition of Total Chaos — brought to market in partnership with Atari publishing label Infogrames and Clear River Games — is available now through Atari.com and various retailers.

Total Chaos' release on consoles is part of a continued partnership between Apogee and Infogrames to bring multiple Apogee titles to modern consoles in both digital and physical formats. It was preceded by a console release of Wizordum in September 2025; additional games from Apogee's catalog to be published by Infogrames are in the works and will be announced in the coming months.
