To kick off 2025, Phasmophobia is kicking off 2025 with a chilling new event that’s guaranteed to shake things up in paranormal investigations.

The Cursed Hollow event will be the game’s first seasonal event of the year, and it will combine personal challenges with a broader community goal. However, outside group hunts, players will also have individual objectives to complete for the first time, keeping the pressure high. The Forest Spirit is the new supernatural threat at the heart of the event. It is a mysterious thing haunting certain maps, only adding that extra strangeness to it. The Phasmophobia maps are populated with totems, which can again be found and collected, altering the behaviour of other ghosts and making every decision in a mission more strategic.

The developers have paid close attention to player feedback in terms of fine-tuning the event experience. To prevent this from becoming a repetitive grind, the maps will rotate daily to give you various new challenges to grind to. Rather than dragging it over, they have cooped it up into a tighter, three-week window, making every session count. Furthermore, players will also be rewarded on an individual basis for a healthy dose of personal performance rather than solely the state of the community, meaning solo investigators should be able to find something worthwhile to work towards. Phasmophobia's 2025 event shows the team’s dedication to changing the game without losing the tension and terror fans adored.
