That Which Remains Blends Co-op Horror with Extraction Gameplay

Remaining Games has announced That Which Remains, a co-op horror extraction game where players hunt ghosts and scavenge for loot before escaping.

Ghost hunting is getting a high stakes multiplayer overhaul. Developer Remaining Games has pulled the curtain back on their debut project, That Which Remains, with a striking new announcement trailer covered by IGN South Africa. The title leans hard into the popular extraction genre, forcing squads of players to venture into haunted territory, scavenge for paranormal evidence and valuable gear, and make it out alive before the spirits overwhelm them.

Extraction mechanics have dominated shooter spaces for years, but applying that same tension to cooperative horror is a sharp pivot. Instead of just completing objectives and banishing entities like in traditional ghost hunting games, players here must weigh the greed of grabbing rare loot against the constant threat of permanent loss. It creates the kind of high pressure decision making that turns standard play sessions into brilliant content for streamers and creators.

For a community that constantly looks for fresh ways to play together across platforms, a cooperative horror extraction loop hits a lot of the right notes. We will need to see how the progression systems and risk versus reward loops hold up once the studio shares more about the economy and testing phases. Until then, keep this one on your radar if your group enjoys games where survival is never guaranteed.
