The Chant<\/strong> is an upcoming horror game that is set to explore the dark side of spirituality. Set at a spiritual retreat, the third-person horror is going to require players to scramble to survive when things turn awry.

Sounds like an interesting take, right? Well, for players on Xbox One and PS4, I bear bad news. Following a recent press release<\/a>, it appears that The Chant might not make its way onto the consoles. Previously, Brass Token stated<\/a> the game would release on Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, PS4, PS4, and PC, but the most recent press release neglected to mention the current-gen consoles.<\/p>\n
