The chillingly atmospheric world of Square Enix’s supernatural thriller series is set to expand. Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse is fast approaching, with a confirmed launch date of February 19, 2026.
The franchise first made waves in 2023 with its debut title, which earned critical success for its dark, occult narrative. That story followed a grim “spiritual battle royale” where desperate individuals fought to resurrect the deceased by emerging as the sole survivor of a deadly game. This upcoming installment shifts the focus to a new mystery centered on Yuza, a pearl diver who experiences a haunting encounter with a doppelgänger beneath the ocean surface.
As a collection of enigmatic strangers converges on a remote island, an investigation into the deep-seated paranormal forces at play begins to unravel. Players can expect the return of the series’ signature mechanics, including the intricate flowchart system that tracks various character perspectives, challenging logic puzzles, and the pervasive sense of dread that defined its predecessor.
Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse will be available on the Nintendo Switch. Enthusiasts looking to dive into this latest horror adventure can secure their copies early, as pre-orders are scheduled to go live later today.
