## Planned and mentioned features

### Future updates

This roadmap details the planned updates.

#### 0.9+

These updates will feature adjustments to the progression rate and to the equipment tiers. The Equipment Store will also be revamped and will have a new design that can be found in this Reddit post.

This development preview mentions many adjustments:

* The leveling rate will be increased with less XP required per level.
* The Equipment Tier unlocks will be less linear with multiple tiers unlocked at once instead of only one.
* The cost for some upgrades will be increased.
* For each new prestige, players will be able to choose either a sum of extra starting money, or a small XP boost.
* The T1 D.O.T.S. Projector will be brighter and have its range increased.
* The T3 EMF Reader will have a new sound indicating EMF Level 5.
* The T1 Thermometer will have a slight fluctuation on readings to reduce its effectiveness.
* T2 and T3 Thermometers will keep refreshing the temperature reading every second or so when holding to scan, instead of needing to hold to scan again.
* The T3 Thermometer will have its randomness further reduced.
* The T1 and T2 UV Light will be swapped.
* The duration and light range will be increased for all tiers of Firelights and Igniters.
* Head Gear will have a new keybinding for toggling it on and off.
* All three tiers of Head Gear will have a new sound play when being interfered with by the ghost.
* The T3 Head Gear will have some interference to reduce its effectiveness during hunts.
* The T3 Motion Sensor will have its icon in the van changed.
* The red light on the side of the T1 Parabolic Microphone will flash when it picks up a sound.
* The photo-taking speed of the T2 Photo Camera will be increased.
* The T2 Sanity Medication's restoration speed will be increased.
* There will be a button to mute Sound Sensors in the van.
* After doing the "I wish to see the ghost" wish, the darkness effect will start only when the hunt starts, instead of instantly.

#### 0.10+

These updates will feature new Objectives and Daily and Weekly Tasks, as well as a new equipment, the Sound Recorder, and a new type of evidence. The photo system will be improved, with a possible removal of failed photos, and changes will be made to the rewards system.

#### 0.11+

These updates will feature player customization, and new player models and animations. Some cosmetics will be unlocked after reaching a certain Prestige level and can be purchased with in-game money. The Video Feed will also get an overhaul.

#### 1.0 (Horror 2.0)

The Horror 2.0 update is planned to be the full release of the game and the end of its early access. It will mainly focus on existing mechanics related to the ghost such as hunts, ghost events, interactions, and will include new ghost models and hallucinations.

#### Post-1.0

More equipment, ghosts, and maps are planned after the 1.0 update.

### Point Hope map

Many hints point towards a new lighthouse map including newspapers in the van referencing to three keepers who disappeared, a lighthouse being added to Maple Lodge Campsite in 0.6.0, runes added in 0.8.1.0 teasing the name "Point Hope" when deciphered, and a map added in 0.9.1.0 on the wall in Maple Lodge Campsite's reception building designating the lighthouse as being the "Point Hope Lighthouse".

This development preview further confirms its future implementation to the game.

### Map overhauls

Most existing maps up to 13 Willow Street will eventually receive redesigned interiors to be themed maps with more visual variety. The Site Map for each of these maps will also be changed to match the style of that with newer maps (post-0.3).

Bleasdale Farmhouse and Grafton Farmhouse will receive some layout adjustments with fewer bedrooms and bathrooms, and more rooms with purpose for the family that may have lived there. In particular, Grafton Farmhouse will become a decrepit house while Bleasdale Farmhouse will become a mansion-style house.

### Console port

On 13 June 2023, a console port was announced for the Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStationVR2 in this trailer. Its release was originally planned for late August 2023, but has been delayed indefinitely.
