Those 10th anniversary upgrades to Blue Isle Studios’ Slender: The Arrival announced back in July finally have a locked-in release date. Starting October 18, players can jump back into the game with completely reimagined visuals on Steam. Pre-orders are also now open for this revisualized version of Slender: The Arrival, which also has a new gameplay teaser.

You’re probably wondering about that pre-order bit. That’s because Slender: The Arrival will be coming to current-gen consoles for the very first time! You can pre-order the game today on the Xbox Series for $19.99USD, followed by the PlayStation 5 at the same price on September 19. As a pre-order bonus, Blue Isle Studios is giving out a free copy of Valley with all pre-orders.

“It’s been 10 years since the original launch and we’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to improve and add to the game. There are many more Slender Man stories to tell, and we cannot wait to deliver on these experiences,” says Alex Tintor, Co-Founder & Lead Designer at Blue Isle Studios.

Meanwhile, keep an eye out for Blue Isle Studios’ announced follow-up to Slender: The Arrival in S: Lost Chapters, which touts itself as “a brand new type of horror”, with a narrative that features a mix of new and old stories.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
