Bloober Team Bringing ‘Blair Witch’ to Oculus Quest For Halloween
After being released to consoles (including more recently the Nintendo Switch), what’s more for Bloober Team to do with Blair Witch? Well, seeing as it’s that time of year, why not bring it to VR just in time for Halloween?
That’s exactly what Bloober Team and Lionsgate are doing with Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition, a brand-new version of Blair Witch “built specifically for the VR experience”. The title will be headed to the Oculus Quest on October 29th for $29.99.
Oculus Quest Edition will feature environments redesigned for more interactivity and to accommodate new creature encounters. In addition, the game sports a new control system and mechanics for Bullet, your dog. For those who like that sort of thing, you’ll be able to give him a treat right out of your hand, pet him at any time, and even play fetch.
And if Oculus Quest isn’t your thing, Bloober Team plans on releasing VR versions for other consoles in the future.
Blair Witch is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
