ROUTINE Is Back From the Dead, Retro Sci-Fi Horror Drops Late 2025

Remember that spine-chilling lunar horror game that’s been teasing us for what feels like a decade? Well, buckle up, because ROUTINE just dropped some major news that’ll make your sci-fi-loving heart skip a beat!

What’s the Deal with ROUTINE’s Release Date?

After years of radio silence that had fans wondering if this game was stuck in development hell, Lunar Software finally threw us a bone. ROUTINE is officially launching in Q4 2025 – and honestly, it’s about time! The Steam page now proudly displays that sweet, sweet release window, putting an end to the endless “when is ROUTINE coming out?” forum debates.

This first-person sci-fi horror experience has been the gaming equivalent of that friend who says they’re “five minutes away” for the past eight years. But hey, at least we’re getting some concrete info now!

Why Should You Care About This Lunar Nightmare?

Well, who wouldn’t want to be on a spaceship filled with 1980s retrofuturism objects and have something go terribly wrong? Frankly, no one in their right mind, but that’s not the point. ROUTINE isn’t just another jump-scare fest – it’s a hair-raising blend of investigation and survival horror that made games like SOMA and Alien: Isolation so genre-breaking.

The game is, supposedly, giving us full body awareness, minimal UI, and that oh-so-important diegetic audio that makes horror games truly immersive. Plus, you get a nifty Cosmonaut Assistance Tool (C.A.T.) that’s basically your lifeline in this cosmic nightmare. Think of it as your Swiss Army knife for surviving whatever cosmic horrors are lurking in those darkened corridors.

The Wait is Almost Over (Seriously This Time)

ROUTINE’s release date has been more elusive than a decent horror movie sequel. But with Raw Fury backing the project and that shiny Q4 2025 window staring us down, it looks like we might actually get our hands on this atmospheric terror-fest before the decade ends.

The game’s Steam page is already packed with screenshots showcasing those eerie lunar environments, giving you a small taste of what you can expect, and the recent trailer reveal at Gamescom Opening Night Live proves the developers haven’t been twiddling their thumbs all these years.

So mark your calendars, horror enthusiasts – ROUTINE is finally ready to haunt our nightmares in late 2025!
