Antistatic Studios has announced that it will be holding a public playtest for its co-op paranormal shooter Phantom Line, and that public playtesting will begin on March 5th, 2026. To mark the announcement, a new Phantom Line teaser has been released which shows some eerie and surreal settings where the paranormal anomalies hunt the players.
This Phantom Line playtest will add the Mortfield Training Facility as a new area to explore, and more anomalies to deal with, as well as areas that warp time and space. Within Phantom Line’s lore, players’ consciousnesses are transferred into artificial bodies known as HUSKs, which are essentially avatars for scouting and combating paranormal threats. The game’s home base is set on an icebreaker ship, serving as a hub where players can upgrade and personalise their HUSKs, as well as manage their equipment, weapons, and armour. This ship also serves as the location for mission briefings,where players will learn more about the threats that plague the world, which itself is experience nuclear war.
