Huge news comes out of the Xbox E3 Briefing in which it was announced that we’ll be getting a surprise Blair Witch game this coming fall!
Produced by Lionsgate, and developed by Layers of Fear‘s Bloober Team, the reveal trailer shows some typically creepy and weird shit in the woods. Blair Witch will be a first-person, story-driven psychological horror game based on the cinematic lore of Blair Witch.
Here’s the synopsis that was provided to us:
“It’s 1996. A young boy disappears in the Black Hills Forest near Burkittsville, Maryland. As Ellis, a former police officer with a troubled past, you join the search. What starts as an ordinary investigation soon turns into an endless nightmare as you confront your fears and the Blair Witch, a mysterious force that haunts the woods…”
“We are so thrilled, and honestly a little scared, to bring all players, especially fans of Blair Witch, back into the haunted woods. It is genuinely an honor to be working on such a hair-raising, paradigmatic experience, which defined so many of our lives!” said Piotr Babieno, CEO at Bloober Team.
The game heads to PC and Xbox One on August 30. If anyone can do Blair Witch justice, it’s Bloober.
