The psychological horror game MADiSON is becoming a film. Developer Bloodious Games and production company Story Kitchen announced on October 26, 2026 a feature film set in the world of the game, with a theatrical release as the goal.
What is confirmed — and what is not yet
CONFIRMED: the partnership and the film's development, announced by Bloodious Games itself and reported by Variety. Not yet announced: director, screenwriter, cast, distributor, filming start, release date and trailer. It has also not been confirmed whether the film will follow the game's story or tell a new story in the same world.
Story Kitchen co-founders Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg said the job is to "carry that physical experience into a theater without losing what makes it Bloodious's world." Game creator Alexis Di Stefano said the camera, the house, the Maxwell family and the entities at the center of the story "aren't just set dressing; they're the franchise."
The original game
Released on July 8, 2022 for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch, with a virtual reality version, MADiSON is a first-person psychological horror game in which the player controls Luca and uses an instant camera to take photos, develop them by hand and solve puzzles connecting the human world with the beyond.
Who Story Kitchen is
Founded in 2022 by Dmitri M. Johnson, producer of the Sonic the Hedgehog films, and former agent Mike Goldberg, Story Kitchen specializes in game adaptations and is also working on Life is Strange, Streets of Rage and the live-action Tomb Raider series, among other projects.
Do not confuse it: the game expansion is a separate project
Separate from the film, the expansion The Maxwells' Curse is planned for 2027 and will be free for players who already own the game, continuing the story after the original game's events. A Halloween update also added two difficulty modes: Normal, more accessible, and Possession, more challenging for veterans. In other words, 2027 is the expansion's window, not an announced date for the film.
