The Blair Witch franchise is returning to reclaim its camera-toting horror crown from Outlast in a brand new game from Bloober Team – the builders behind indie horror hit, Layers of Fear.
Announced on the Xbox E3 briefing, Blair Witch is coming to Xbox One and PC on August 30 2019.
This newest spook-fest is described as a “first-person psychological horror”, so anticipate bounce scares a-plenty, and extra paranormal goings on than you possibly can shake a frightened teenager at.
The game is “based on the cinematic lore of the Blair Witch” and lets gamers “experience first-hand the toll that fear can take on the mind in an original story based on the legend of Blair Witch”.
Set within the heady days of 1996, you play as former Maryland police officer Ellis, who joins the seek for a younger boy that’s gone lacking within the Black Hills Forest close to Burkittsville. What began as a noble pursuit turns into a torturous nightmare, as Ellis should face his darkish previous and the malevolent pressure of the Blair Witch.
