Piece of Cake studios is bringing Dark Hours to consoles on 22 April, with the co-op survival horror game launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for £14.99.
After shifting more than half a million units on PC, Dark Hours is now heading to console, ready to ruin a fresh batch of evenings in all the right ways.
As per the press release, this 1 to 4-player co-op horror game starts with a simple enough idea: pull off a heist. Naturally, that goes badly. Very badly. What begins as a robbery inside a haunted location soon turns into a fight for survival after a supernatural event leaves your crew trapped with an evil entity.
So yes, the burglary plan is off. The new objective is not dying.
Players take on the role of thieves trying to escape cursed locations by exploring, cooperating, and improvising under pressure. The setup blends survival horror, multiplayer teamwork, and heist chaos, which is already a pretty grim cocktail before the monsters show up.
What’s included in the Dark Hours console release
Piece of Cake studios has also shared a breakdown of what players can expect when Dark Hours lands on console later this month.
The console version includes 8 monsters, each with their own abilities and weaknesses, alongside 50+ heist items such as hacking gear, remote-control devices, EMP, Holy and Ice grenades, flare guns, entity scanners, GPS trackers, and instant cameras.
There are also 60 maps across five environments: auction houses, casinos, museums, nuclear power plants, and cruise ships. That is a decent spread of places to make terrible decisions in a panic.
On top of that, players can take on 12+ mission objectives, build reputation with three mafia factions, and unlock exclusive items and customisation options along the way. There are also four difficulty levels, including Nightmare mode, which sounds about as relaxing as expected.
More monsters, more modes, more ways for a heist to fall apart
Beyond the main co-op survival setup, Dark Hours also packs in 100+ customisation items, deadly puzzles, traps, minigames, and a PvPvE mode where two teams of robbers compete against each other while trying not to get torn apart by whatever else is lurking around.
It also includes three extra modes: Golden Rabbit, Curling, and Red Light Green Light, plus crossplay and an online friends system.
To mark the announcement, Piece of Cake studios has released a new trailer showing off the console release date and setting the mood for the horrors ahead.
Dark Hours launches on 22 April 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at £14.99. For console players after a co-op horror game with heists, monsters, and a lot of panicked shouting, this one looks ready to oblige..
