Who says the classics can’t be scary? MWM Interactive have announced that Chained: A Victorian Nightmare, a VR retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol will be headed to Oculus Rift, Steam and HTC Vive later this month for $5.99. Originally released as a theatre experience in LA and New York, the game “will bring a dark retelling of the classic tale home”.

Chained: A Victorian Nightmare puts viewers at the center of the story, confronting their past, present and future in a bone-chilling journey of self-discovery. The adaptation is faithful to the chilling, moody atmosphere of the classic novel, and was created and directed by Justin Denton (who was behind the Legion experience at San Diego Comic-Con 2017).

“Chained is the result of theater, cinema and interactive entertainment coming together to create a singular experience that provides a deeper and more personal experience of this classic tale,” said MWM Interactive’s Ethan Stearns. “At MWM Interactive, we’re focused on working with creators to tell great narratives no matter the technical medium.”

The ultimate challenge awaits as players journey into the depths of Mortium to confront Dracula himself. While battling through his forces and disrupting dark rituals intent on reviving the ancient Vampire king, players will uncover ancient powers and prepare for the ultimate showdown against the tyrant himself.

Ruins of Mortium is just one piece of the new content for V Rising when it launches in full. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

  • Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium

  • Fight a new breed of foe and new V Blood bosses
