Following its Nintendo Switch 2 debut, Total Chaos has received a launch trailer. Apogee Entertainment and developer Sam Prebble of Trigger Happy Interactive, in partnership with Atari publishing label Infogrames, put out the new version of the psychological horror game this week.

Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know:

Total Chaos is a downright brutal, atmospheric nightmare that blends hallmarks of different eras of survival horror. It pulls players into the abyss of Fort Oasis, a desolate wasteland once considered paradise by its coal-mining community. A shadow looms over the island, evoking a sense of madness that can only be described as the feeling of being constantly watched. Monstrosities lurk around every corner of the island’s heart, trapping anybody daring enough to enter the void. While shooting and bludgeoning through these twisted foes, players will unearth fragments of forgotten lives to piece together the chilling mystery of Fort Oasis’ demise (and their connection to it) before their sanity runs dry.
What began as an award-winning total conversion mod of DOOM II has now evolved into a fully standalone title, boasting a spine-tingling atmosphere and an aggressively uneasy tension throughout. Developer Sam Prebble leveraged his game (Turbo Overkill) and Hollywood visual effects talents (featured in Avatar, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) to deliver a full-scale survival horror experience that gnaws away at players’ sense of safety.
Total Chaos on Nintendo Switch 2 runs at up to 1080P in docked mode and 720P in handheld mode, with a selectable Performance mode targeting 60FPS (unlocked). The default Quality mode is set to 30FPS. The game additionally supports Joy-Con 2 mouse and gyro controls. Total Chaos on Nintendo Switch 2 launches with the latest game content introduced with the recently released New Game+ update, including an alternate ending, a new stalker enemy type (The Hunter), and more.
Key Features
Immersive Atmosphere: Explore the decayed ruins of Fort Oasis across nine harrowing chapters, each drenched in dread, plunging you deeper into its oppressive, decaying world.
Environmental Storytelling: Uncover the island’s darkest secrets and confront your own fractured past through cryptic notes, haunting visuals, and unsettling encounters.

A Haunting Original Soundtrack: Total Chaos features an original theme and end credits track by legendary Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka, joined by original Total Chaos mod composers Jason Dagenet and William Braddell, and Apogee’s music team, Chipper Hammond, Tim Stoney, and Mathieu Hallouin. Together, they’ve crafted an ambient, nightmare-inducing soundscape that blurs the line between music and madness.
New Game+: Upon completing the game, start over to experience expanded story content, an alternate ending, new death animations, and unexplored locations — all while a persistent stalker, The Hunter, tracks your every move.
