Ghost Hunters will soon be able to explore Nell’s, a run-down, retro restaurant that’s been long-abandoned by staff and diners alike. Set to be one of the game’s smaller maps, similar in size to the houses, it 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 will be Phasmophobia’s 14th map, and follows two substantial reworks to the game’s existing maps earlier this year, the Bleasdale and Grafton Farmhouses.
“So far, we’ve added some really classic horror locations to Phasmophobia - an abandoned asylum, creepy farmhouses, and our more linear lighthouse map, Point Hope. We always thought a diner would fit perfectly, so Nell’s was born, and it's been such a fun challenge bringing it to life,” said Daniel Knight (Dknighter), Director of Kinetic Games and Lead Developer of Phasmophobia.
“Alongside the farmhouse reworks from this year, Nell’s is an example of how we want all the maps in Phasmophobia to feel going forward. It’s unique, and has been meticulously designed to tell more of a story to our players - beyond the immediate ghost they’re hunting. We can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on it next month.”
2025 has seen a plethora of major updates for Phasmophobia - from map reworks, to the huge Chronicle update, which added all new sound equipment to the game. As the year comes to a close, Kinetic Games still has a few surprises up its sleeve, so stay tuned for more ghost hunting news in the coming months, and check out the 2025 and beyond roadmap here for some info on what’s to come in 2026.
Nell’s Diner will launch on November 11th on all platforms. Phasmophobia is available in Early Access on PC via Steam, PS5, PS VR2 and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $19.99/£16.75/€19.50.
