Kinetic Games shared new details for Phasmophobia and its new “Chronicle” update, which is launching next month.

The new Chronicle update, billed as the “biggest update yet” for the game, is launching on June 24th and will overhaul evidence collecting, expand investigations, add a new Sound evidence, and more.

Here’s a rundown on the new details:

The Chronicle Update

We gave you some insight in to what we’ve had planned for Chronicle late last year, but today we’d like to go on a deeper dive on some of the more significant changes the update is introducing to Phasmophobia. We love getting this information out to you before the update as it means we can open the conversation and hear your feedback and what you’re most looking forward to, so be sure to sound off on the information below.

Rewarding Media

With the addition of the new Media section, we’ve added a bunch of new game-play elements for everyone to interact with. Ghost Hunters now need to complete a full book of unique Media items to accomplish a perfect investigation. This is a huge change to the overall system, but we believe this allows for a more consistent and realisitic media capturing experience, especially when it comes to selling it on to your boss when – and if – you make it back to HQ…

So, if everything needs to be unique, how do we fill 13 slots in the Journal? With new things to capture of course!

As you can see, there are plenty of new media options for Ghost Hunters to document; proof of Evidence such as EMF readings, interactions such as rocking chairs moving and even different ghost forms. All of which can lead to a book brimming with unique captures.

Can you record a ghost while it’s trying to take you and your friends down? Maybe it’s best to use some Incense…

What we’re showing in today’s Development Preview is just the surface of what Chronicle offers. Well practiced Investigators will have even greater rewards awaiting them with this new system; harder captures are worth more money, Tier bonuses for using upgraded gear, and to top it all off everything “Media” is now included in the Reward Multiplier allowing for huge bonuses when completing a contract successfully.

Sound Recorder

With Chronicle, we’re excited to introduce our first new piece of Equipment since our Equipment overhaul in Ascension.

The Sound Recorder, Tier 1 of which is available from Level 4, brings with it a whole new type of profitable evidence. Investigators can now record audio from Equipment such as the Spirit Box, the sound of a Ghost Event and Paranormal Sounds – audio that you can only hear via the Parabolic Microphone, for example.

While the Sound Recorder is switched on, it’ll be constantly scanning for nearby things to record. If the lights burst into life, you’ll need to use the range indicator to guide you within record-able range before the sound disappears! There are a plethora of new sounds to be found, will you collect them all?

But wait, there’s more?

Chronicle is one of our biggest updates to Phasmophobia yet, and there’s so much in-store for you when the update launches next month that we couldn’t possible spoil for you here today.

Phasmophobia was originally released for Windows PC (via Steam) back in September 2020 and has been ported to Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PS VR2.
