TORONTO, CANADA - SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 - It has been a month since veteran independent video game developer Blue Isle Studios first announced that Slender: The Arrival will be given a long-awaited 10th Anniversary Upgrade. We now have a date to unleash the bone-chilling adventure, starting October 18 be whisked back to a dark and familiar world completely reimagined. Every shadow, every material and every hair-raising encounter with the mysterious Slender Man will be rendered in the stunning detail only possible with Unreal Engine 5. This revisualized version of Slender: The Arrival is now available for pre-order.
That’s not all, a brand new chapter has been announced. Those of you willing to brave the darkness will find a new story where Charlie Matheson’s father experiences his worst nightmare. This free addition to the game offers a sneak preview of what’s to come.
This marks the first time Slender: The Arrival will appear natively on current generation consoles with the opportunity to pre-order today on Xbox Series X|S ($19.99), followed by PlayStation 5 ($19.99) on September 19. As a pre-order bonus, Blue Isle Studios is giving out a free copy of Valley with all pre-orders.
