Reanimal is a horror adventure video game developed by Tarsier Studios and published by THQ Nordic. It was released on 13 February 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. It received generally positive reviews from critics.

==Gameplay== Reanimal is a survival horror game, stealth game, and a cinematic platformer. The story follows a brother and sister as they try to escape a hellish version of their home while attempting to save their three friends. The two must work together, explore the islands, escape from monsters, and solve various environmental puzzles in order to progress. Players will eventually unlock a boat which enables them to explore locations off the critical path in a nonlinear manner. The game supports both single-player and two-player online or local cooperative multiplayer. In single-player, the second companion is controlled by artificial intelligence.
