Bloober Team, in partnership with Lionsgate announced this week that the PlayStation® 4 will be getting a new enhanced version of “Blair Witch” early next month.
The game, which made its debut earlier this fall on the Xbox One and PC took players back to the Black Hills Forest, home to the Blair Witch horror and a central location in the Blair Witch film series. Starting on December 3, 2019, PlayStation gamers will be able to experience the horrors that Blair Witch has in store with a special updated release.
The game will initially be available as a digital download with physical retail copies set to be released at a later time. The game will include gameplay and technical enhancements as well as the ability to customize their canine companion in various ways to make Bullet their personal “good boy” with the addition of the appropriately named “Good Boy Pack”; which will include new dog skins; new in-game cellphone games, wallpapers, and content; and new animations for Bullet – making him even more realistic. The “Good Boy Pack” will also be available on PC via Steam© and the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X via the Xbox Games Store and Xbox Game Pass.
“Blair Witch” offers fans, and players alike, their own descent into madness through an original story inspired by Lionsgate’s iconic Blair Witch. Set in 1996, a young boy disappears in the Black Hills Forest near Burkittsville, Maryland. Players experience the horror as Ellis, a former police officer with a troubled past, accompanied by his trustful canine companion, Bullet. Their story starts as they join the search for the missing boy, but players shortly discover the horrors that await as the woods twist and turn into an endless nightmare. Ellis will have to confront his fears, and his past, along with the mysterious force that haunts the woods.
The first-person experience studies players’ reactions to the many dangers, stresses and tolls that the original story delivers, and results in one of various potential playthroughs. In addition to the horrifying psychological experience, there is a balanced display of the beautiful environments showcased in full in-game 4K; tricking adventurers to feel a sense of relief before venturing even deeper into the home of the iconic Blair Witch. “Blair Witch” is enhanced for 4K gameplay on Xbox One X and supported PCs via Steam, and will also be supported via PS4 Pro upon its digital release.
“Blair Witch” will be available through the PlayStation™Store for $29.90 starting on December 3, 2019.
