Paranormal Activity: Threshold Canceled After Paramount Denies Development Extension

The solo developer opted to walk away from the license to avoid releasing a game he considered unfinished.

Overview

  • Brian Clarke disclosed Thursday that development has ended after Paramount refused his request for more time.
  • Publisher DreadXP backed the push for an extension, and Clarke described the split with Paramount as amicable.
  • The game’s Steam page has been removed, signaling it will not release under the Paranormal Activity license.
  • A demo at PAX East in March drew positive feedback, yet Clarke said the solo project needed more time than a licensed schedule allowed.
  • Clarke says he will take a short break before returning to new independent horror projects.
