At Sony’s State of Play this past Wednesday, Mundfish and Team Clout shared a new story trailer for survival horror game ILL. The trailer for the first-person title kicks off with someone waking up in a hospital. Things go from bad to worse. An explosion occurs and before you know it, grotesque monsters roam the halls.
During the State of Play, ILL also received the release window of 2027. The game previously saw a trailer in 2025 at last year’s Summer Games Fest. That one mostly focused on the combat and the monsters. The combat and gameplay incorporate inventory management, limited resources, and upgradeable weapons. Meanwhile, the creators cite horror films of the 1970s to 1990s as inspirations behind the gnarly monster designs.
This newest trailer focuses more on ILL’s story. The formerly-comatose protagonist investigates an Eastern-European fort. A few side characters appear, who seem willing to help the protagonist uncover a mystery. That said, they consistently offer words of caution. Understandable, as I’d want a heads up if creepy creatures roamed around my derelict Eastern-European fort.
