ANNOUNCING SCI-FI THRILLER ONTOS - LAUNCHING IN 2026.

What is existence, really? 

 
Tonight at The Game Awards we revealed the announcement trailer for ONTOS, a sci-fi thriller taking you to the edge of reality.  
 
Featuring award-winning actor, Stellan Skarsgård. 
 
It may come as less of a surprise to those of you who followed the path from Discord to the teaser, that this is the next project from Frictional Games in partnership with Kepler Interactive. 

Welcome to Samsara. 

Aditi Amani, the estranged daughter of a man steeped in mystery, finds herself on Samsara in search of the truth surrounding her father’s life.  

What she finds is a failed moon hotel, now repurposed and home to something else entirely. 

In ONTOS, you’ll find yourself going from investigative exploration to being forced to take part in horrific experiments. 

These moments will test you. Your beliefs will be questioned, and you will be pushed far out of your comfort zone.  

Choose your path and face the consequences.

“After more than 10 years of development it is incredibly exciting to finally announce ONTOS. This is easily our most ambitious project yet in terms of scope, production values, and sheer thematic ambitions”  

- Thomas Grip, ONTOS creative director and co-founder of Frictional Games. 

 
ONTOS will be available in 2026. Until then, follow the path.
