Psychological Horror Game Total Chaos Available Now on PC and Consoles
Apogee Entertainment and Infogrames Surprise-Launch Developer Sam Prebble's Maddening Horror Tale on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC
DALLAS, TX (November 20, 2025) | Today at the Xbox Partner Preview, Apogee Entertainment — in partnership with Atari publishing label Infogrames — surprise-launched developer Sam Prebble's highly anticipated psychological survival horror title Total Chaos. Through Apogee's continued partnership with Infogrames to port its library of titles to consoles, Total Chaos has simultaneously launched on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC.
Heed the call of Fort Oasis, for its dark secrets are ready to be uncovered...
Total Chaos is a pulse-pounding, atmospheric nightmare that blends different eras of survival horror hallmarks. It features classically inspired resource management, methodical melee combat and gunplay, haunting visuals, and grotesque environments and creatures.
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.
"Total Chaos began for me almost two decades ago when the original mod became my first real step into creating a world of my own. I never imagined I'd return to Fort Oasis and rebuild it as a full standalone release on PC and consoles," said Total Chaos developer and head of Trigger Happy Interactive, Sam Prebble. "I'm grateful to everyone who helped bring it to this moment, especially the teams at Apogee, Atari, and Infogrames. See you on the island. Listen carefully to the voice you follow."
"Total Chaos is Apogee's first step into survival horror and a full-circle moment for Sam, whose early love for classics like DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and the horror genre at large helped inspire this original vision. What began as a total conversion mod has grown into a faithful and expanded remake. Our creative bond from Turbo Overkill made it a privilege to support him again and ensure Total Chaos delivers a truly landmark horror experience," said Apogee's Executive Producer, Jeron Moore.
"I'm excited to be working with Apogee on the release of the scariest game Atari has ever been associated with in our long history," said Wade Rosen, CEO of Atari/Infogrames. "Developer Sam Prebble has crafted a game for the ages, and bringing it to the consoles was an opportunity that we could not pass up."
"I am truly honored to have taken part in this collaboration with Total Chaos," said guest composer Akira Yamaoka. "Within the chaos lies a hidden silence — an invisible world that cannot be captured by words, but only expressed through sound. It is an experience like a journey where unseen landscapes are felt through the ears rather than seen by the eyes. I hope you enjoy it."
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 a new 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' 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.
