Phasmophobia Opens Nell's Diner

Kinetic’s genre-defining co-op horror game has a new map - and the pie is to die for

SOUTHAMPTON, UK – November 11th, 2025 – Today, Kinetic Games thrilled to launch Phasmophobia’s new map, Nell’s Diner. The abandoned retro eatery is now available worldwide across Steam, PS5, PS VR2 and Xbox Series X|S, inviting hunters to a night shift like no other.

Nell’s Diner is the 14th map the genre-defining horror game has introduced. A highly-anticipated American diner long-abandoned by staff and customers, the small-scale map ensures players have nowhere to hide when the hunt begins. The nostalgic new map features a classic food counter complete with red leather stools and booths, a kitchen, storage rooms, and of course, plenty of hauntings to decipher.

Nell’s Diner opens following a year of major updates for Phasmophobia, including two substantial reworks to the two fan-favourite maps earlier this year, the Bleasdale and Grafton Farmhouses.

“Phasmophobia’s maps aren’t inherently scary, or too horror focused. The fear develops from familiar, nostalgic locations, where something just isn’t quite right…” said Kinetic Games Art Director, Corey Dixton. “There’s so much for players to uncover in Nell’s, beyond just the ghost they’re hunting, and we can’t wait to see them start to explore. Nell’s is a step toward reworking more of our environments with a richer visual style as we head towards Horror 2.0.”

Kinetic Games are also rolling out a brand-new Phasmophobia Twitch Drops campaign to celebrate the launch of Nell’s Diner. The event kicks off today alongside the release of the new map, and runs for two weeks, giving players the chance to earn some sweet limited-time rewards:

• Animated ‘Sweet Tooth’ ID Card & Badge – available Nov 11–18 exclusively from Kinetic Games Partner streams (watch time requirement: 2 hours)
• Standard ‘Sweet Tooth’ ID Card & Badge – available Nov 18–25 from any Phasmophobia stream (watch time requirement: 2 hours)

2025 has seen a plethora of major updates for Phasmophobia as it celebrates its fifth anniversary, from map reworks, to the huge Chronicle update, which added all new sound equipment to the game. A film adaptation of Phasmophobia is officially in development by horror film powerhouse, Blumhouse, as well as an official board game, in partnership with Lost in Cult.
