Ready for a new story-driven psychological horror experience that is based on the cinematic lore of Lionsgate’s Blair Witch? Well, it is that which has been unveiled at the Xbox E3 2019 briefing!
Coming from Bloober Team – they of Layers of Fear fame – you’ll want to grab your camcorder and run like hell as Bloober Team, in partnership with global content leader Lionsgate, have revealed Blair Witch for Xbox One and PC.
Set to launch worldwide on August 30th 2019, this brand-new first-person psychological horror game will return players to the dreadful woods in an original story inspired by the iconic Blair Witch.
It’s 1996. A young boy disappears in the Black Hills Forest near Burkittsville, Maryland. As Ellis, a former police officer with a troubled past, you join the search. What starts as an ordinary investigation soon turns into an endless nightmare as you confront your fears and the Blair Witch, a mysterious force that haunts the woods.
“We are so thrilled, and honestly a little scared, to bring all players, especially fans of Blair Witch, back into the haunted woods. It is genuinely an honor to be working on such a hair-raising, paradigmatic experience, which defined so many of our lives!” said Piotr Babieno, CEO at Bloober Team.
“The team at Bloober is made up of amazing storytellers. We were excited to give them the opportunity to craft an original narrative set in the iconic woods of Blair Witch,” said Daniel Engelhardt, Senior Vice President of Lionsgate Interactive Ventures & Games. “They’ve taken the evil hiding in the Black Hills Forest to a whole new level. Players should enter at their own risk.”
If you reckon you can experience first-hand the toll that fear can take on the mind in an original story, then Blair Witch is a first-person psychological horror game that studies your reactions to danger and stress. Your darkest fears will awaken.
Coming to Xbox One and PC, you’ll find Blair Witch debuting on Xbox Game Pass when it launches on August 30th 2019.
