Announced earlier this year at E3, Bloober Team, the creative minds behind the critically acclaimed Layers of Fear games, have released Blair Witch, a new first-person psychological horror game that will have you questioning what you are most afraid of - the iconic witch, the woods, or the evil within. Check out the launch trailer below!
The game invites players to return to the dreadful woods 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 franchise. 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 will study players’ reactions to the many dangers, stresses and tolls that the original story delivers to result 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 Deluxe Edition is also available for PC players on Steam for $34.99. The Deluxe Edition includes Blair Witch, Blair Witch original game soundtrack, and "The Art of Blair Witch". Visit the official website for more updates.
