Blumhouse Games is an American video game publisher headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Founded in February 2023 by Jason Blum, Blumhouse Games is a video game production subsidiary of Blumhouse Productions that creates horror titles.[1]
Blumhouse Games was founded in February 2023 by Jason Blum to produce horror-themed games for console, PC, and mobile platforms, marking the company's entry into the video game industry. The gaming division focuses on indie budget projects with production costs below $10 million.[2]
In November 2023, Blumhouse Games hired Jo Lammert as the production lead and Clint Brewer as the technical director.[3] Jason Blum stated that the company's strategy is to replicate its film approach in the gaming sector: seeking out original, low-budget ideas that can be turned into successful games.[3]
