With Ghostface showing up in everything from Mortal Kombat to Fortnite, you might be wondering whether there is a Scream video game. While the horror franchise has had a mobile adaptation, fans are still waiting for a new standalone title. However, a leaked multiplayer prototype gives us a look at a game that never made it to release.
Is There a Scream Video Game?
At the time of writing, there is no new standalone Scream video game has been officially announced. So if you were hoping for an upcoming Ghostface title with a confirmed release date, there isn’t one yet.
That said, the series hasn’t completely missed out on getting its own adaptation. An official Scream 4 mobile game was released in 2011 for iOS and Android. Ghostface has also appeared in several other popular titles, although those appearances are guest characters and cosmetics rather than full Scream video games.
There was even an unreleased multiplayer project that surfaced online following a Steam data leak. And based on the footage, it sounds like fans almost got a very different kind of Scream game.
Leaked Scream Video Game Prototype Explained
In September 2026, reports revealed that playable builds of an unreleased Scream project had been discovered in leaked Steam files. The prototype was reportedly developed by Fatshark, the studio behind Warhammer: Vermintide and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
The multiplayer game had players trying to escape Ghostface, while another player controlled the masked killer. If you’ve played Dead by Daylight, you can probably picture the appeal of that setup. However, the reported final build dated back to February 2011, years before Behaviour’s horror game launched.
There is a catch, though. The person who examined the files suggested that the project may have been a pitch to secure the Scream license. That detail remains speculation, so the footage shouldn’t be treated as proof that an officially licensed game was approved for release.
All Scream Video Games List
The list of standalone Scream games is pretty short. Below is the released mobile adaptation, followed by the unreleased project discovered in the Steam leak.
Standalone Scream Games
Scream 4 was a tie-in to the fourth movie and let players take control of Ghostface. Contemporary coverage places its iOS launch in April 2011, although release listings differ on the exact day.
Unreleased Scream Projects
The prototype surfaced publicly in 2026, but that was the discovery of an old build rather than a release announcement.
Games Featuring Ghostface
If you mainly want to play as Ghostface, there are more options. The killer has appeared as a playable character, an Operator, and even a suspicious little crewmate. The dates below refer to Ghostface’s arrival, rather than each base game’s original release. Platforms include later ports where applicable.
For now, fans hoping for a full Scream adventure will have to keep waiting. The leaked prototype is an interesting look at what could have been, but we still don’t have an announced new game or a release date.
