Publisher and developer Bloober Team alongside Lionsgate today announced Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition, a VR revamp of 2019’s game that is scheduled to launch just before Halloween.
Developed with virtual reality in mind, Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition remains a story-driven, psychological horror game at its core while getting a series of new, platform-specific additions and interactions.
Not only were the game’s environments “redesigned for more interactivity and [to] accommodate new creature encounters”, but Bullet – your trusty canine companion – has also received a set of new interactions alongside a new control system.
