Dread Eagle is an upcoming first-person action-adventure horror game set within a clandestine Romanian facility from the Soviet era. Here, a grim "game" decides who lives, with losers sent to an execution chamber. The twist is that death is not the end; the dead return to fight back, escalating a cruel routine into a spiraling nightmare.
Developed by Tarba Paul Cornel and Abdul Rafy, with Galactic Crows as publisher, the game is planned for an Early Access release in 2026. Its Steam page highlights that the experience is designed for both solo and cooperative play, making co-op a core feature.
The official reveal trailer establishes a tone of psychological horror, focusing on oppressive environments and escalating consequences. It showcases harsh industrial interiors and implies the facility itself is complicit in the horrors. The game's premise is built around a systematized ritual of selection and punishment, creating a unique dread grounded in procedure rather than chaos.
