Revamped ‘Slender: The Arrival’ Launches October 18, Coming to PlayStation and Xbox for the First Time [Teaser]
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.
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.
