Publisher Iphigames and developer Dragonis Games have announced The Shore: Enhanced Edition, a new upgraded release of their Lovecraftian horror game.

The Shore: Enhanced Edition is in development for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 with a release set for later in 2026. The game was originally released for PC (via Steam) back in 2021.

“Five years ago, we released The Shore and introduced players to a world of cosmic dread”, said Ares Dragonis, founder of Dragonis Games in a press release. “Bringing the Enhanced Edition to consoles is both a celebration of that journey and an opportunity to share this nightmare with an entirely new audience. We’re grateful to everyone who has supported the game since 2021, and excited to welcome console players to the shore.”

Here’s a rundown on the new release, plus a trailer:

The complete experience unfolds in The Shore, a first-person Lovecraftian horror adventure that blends exploration and puzzles in a world shaped by ancient gods and forbidden knowledge.

You play as Andrew, a father searching for his missing daughter on a remote island abandoned by humanity. As you explore its decaying ruins and twisted landscapes, reality begins to fracture. The island hides secrets older than time and every step forward pulls you deeper into a nightmare shaped by fear, loss and obsession.

Ancient gods lie hidden beneath the island, slowly changing the world above. Armed with strange artifacts and fragments of forbidden power, you must survive encounters with eldritch beings while uncovering the truth behind the island and your daughter’s fate. Prepare for a descent into cosmic horror, where knowledge comes at a terrible cost.
