‘Slender: The Arrival’ Website Adds Countdown, Teaser Trailer [Video]
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since Slender: The Arrival landed for PCs and consoles. Now, it appears that Blue Isle Studios’ jump scare machine is getting ready to go again later this summer.
A new update to the official site for Slender: The Arrival has brought us a countdown timer, which currently stands at 34 days. That would put the countdown at July 27th for a reveal of, well, something. Adding to the mystery is a new 14-second teaser, which you can see below. The teaser is appropriately cryptic, since Slenderman is nowhere to be found. Instead, we get a rather sickly individual at the base of the stairs who doesn’t move. Creepy.
As for just what the reveal will be is anyone’s guess. Is Blue Isle planning a new entry in the series, or a remake that gives the 2013 game a fresh coat of paint? The latter might be the case, given that the teaser is up on Slender: The Arrival‘s Steam page. But until we get to July 27th, it’s speculation time.
A re-imagining and expansion of the original game created by Mark Hadley, Slender: The Arrival starts out with you helping your childhood friend sell her house, but soon turns into her disappearance. During your search for Kate, you’ll have to avoid the ire of Slender Man, who can only be seen through video cameras.

Season 4 Update “Operation: Shadow Hunter” Now Available for ‘Killing Floor 3’ [Trailer]
Following March’s seasonal update, Killing Floor 3 has its fourth seasonal update, “Operation: Shadow Hunter” , available now for free for a limited time on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, the PlayStation 5 and the XBOX Series. And to celebrate the game’s first anniversary since its launch, Tripwire Interactive has made Killing Floor 3 free-to-play for a limited time on all platforms from July 23 through July 27.
Operation: Shadow Hunter sees Nightfall specialists venture to the Nordic North Sea to explore a mire-infested oil rig and the horrors it has unleashed. Joining the team to explore the new map is the highly-anticipated Gunslinger perk, which includes an armory of dual-wielded pistols and high-tech gadgets for dispatching Zeds and the second phase of dual-wield support for the remaining sidearms.
The update also introduces the elusive Dr. Moorcroft as a new boss and adds a ‘Suicidal’ difficulty level, giving players a challenge between ‘Hard’ and ‘Hell-on-Earth” currently in-game. Players can also expect a Supply Pass refresh with free and paid tracks, performance optimizations, new achievements, quality of life improvements and more.
As for the free-to-play period, new players will have access to the full game, including the latest seasonal update, and all other updates including the recently added Onslaught map and text chat support. All progress will be saved and available after purchasing the game, with all three editions and Seasonal DLC Passes on all platforms discounted 50% off their regular price.
Tripwire also revealed the latest roadmap for Killing Floor 3, detailing the content ahead, including the return of popular seasonal events and a first look at plans for mod support across all platforms.
