In Toba Landing, players will be taken to a new planet with a host of flora that are out to kill the player. A brand new killer will also be added to the game, The Singularity has been described as a "monstrous amalgamation of restructured organic matter and machine parts seeking to become the perfect lifeform."

A new survivor Gabriel Soma, will also be joining the game. Gabriel is a technician whose determination helped him escape The Singularity that killed off the rest of his crew. Creative director, Dave Richard said: “We’re thrilled to push the fear of the unknown to new heights with ‘End Transmission’. With this new chapter we are expanding the bounds of The Entity’s reach and exploring dark themes of advanced technology and I think this will be a very frightening experience for all players.”
