Developer Albino Moose has announced a revival of the Nightmare Creatures horror game series 17 years after the release of the previous entry, Nightmare Creatures II.

The first title from the Nightmare Creatures series was first released on Playstation and the Nintendo 64, and later a sequel was released on Playstation and Dreamcast.

Reports say that the game is targeting release on current generation platforms and PC.

Here’s a brief overview and trailer below:

In 1666, a cult made up of the world’s most influential players created an elixir that would grant them vast unholy powers – but something went terribly wrong, and their experiments yielded only bloodthirsty, mutant horrors. As the cult is decimated from the inside by betrayal and the creatures escape into London, a traveling priest and the daughter of a murdered immunlogist fight their way to the center of the city and defeat the evil once and for all… or so they believe.

Set before and after the events of the original games, Nightmare Creatures returns after almost 20 years – backed up by the devs and horror superfans at Albino Moose games. Join characters familiar and new as they race around the world to stop the hellish machinations of Adam Crowley, before he uncovers the secrets of the elixir and drowns the world… in Nightmare Creatures!
