Is it finally happening? Highly wishlisted 'ILL' set for 2027 release

The first-person horror game 'ILL,' which has drawn both concern and anticipation since its initial reveal, has confirmed it is on track with a new story trailer. The game is targeting a 2027 release.

Mundfish Powerhouse and Team Clout unveiled new footage of their first-person action horror title, ILL, during the State of Play event on the 3rd. The trailer provides a more concrete look at the game's narrative, which had previously only been teased in fragments.

The protagonist, who was hospitalized in a coma, awakens to witness a world transformed by a massive explosion. They then explore a facility overrun by mysterious entities, encountering numerous monsters and grotesque creatures. In terms of gameplay, it goes beyond simply retreating and hiding; it incorporates stealth elements where players must navigate around monsters and wait for the right moment to strike back.

The game, which draws inspiration from titles like Resident Evil, Half-Life 2, and SILENT HILL, garnered significant attention from its first reveal. However, because Team Clout is a small studio, there were lingering doubts about whether it would actually be released. Development gained serious momentum after Mundfish Powerhouse—the publishing arm of Atomic Heart developer Mundfish—stepped in to handle distribution and support. This led to a new trailer at the 2025 Summer Game Fest, breaking a long period of silence.

'ILL,' which has climbed to the top of Steam wishlists without any other marketing, is scheduled for release in 2027.
