VR Horror ‘Here They Lie’ Coming This Fall
Sony just pulled off a monster of a press conference, featuring several legitimately unnerving trailers that have gone a long way in selling me on PlayStation VR, which is quickly becoming a hot destination for a growing number of chilling titles, like Resident Evil 7 and Here They Lie. The latter is a collaborative project at Sony Santa Monica and Tangentlmen with a release expected in the fall.
Here They Lie is a “ground-breaking first-person horror game” invites you to “struggle to survive as you wrestle with life or death moral choices and try to uncover the mystery of the woman in yellow” while trapped inside a hellish city populated by malevolent creatures, a handful of which you should be able to spot in this exceedingly creepy reveal trailer.
And no, PlayStation VR is required in order to play this game.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
