Bloober Team Announces Blair Witch Coming To VR With Oculus Quest Version

What kicked off the press conference for Microsoft at E3 2019 was Bloober Team’s Blair Witch. With a scheduled release for August later that year for Xbox & PC followed by PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch after, many expected the experience would cease there for the suspense thriller derived from the titular movie series.

This week, the Polish game studio announced that Blair Witch will be arriving to virtual reality finally. More specifically, the game will be unique to the Oculus Quest, the firm adds. While the wireless headset is the listed platform, Bloober Team tells that its emphasis on the Oculus Quest 2 thanks to the 50 percent higher pixel count with better game performance.

You can watch the announcement trailer in the video below:

“A brand new version of the Blair Witch story, built specifically for the VR experience. Environments have been redesigned for more interactivity and to accommodate new creature encounters,” the team shares in its recent blog post. “A new control system and mechanics for your companion dog such as petting, and fetching gestures help immerse players in the Blair Witch story.”

Not only does Bloober Team have a new game set for this month, but also a full season of games leading to the end of this year. Next month in November, Bloober Team will be launching Observer System Redux on November 10. The game is a reworking of its same-named title which released for current hardware, but with better optimization for the newer consoles.

In addition to Blair Witch arriving to a new peripheral right in time for Halloween, Bloober Team this week shared more new on another project. Recently, the studio announced that The Medium will be arriving to Xbox Series X|S and PC on December 10th. You can read the full report by heading here.
