The Arrival VR Launches on PS VR2 This May 13 – PlayStation.Blog

Slender: The Arrival VR, crafted by the talented folks at Blue Isle Studios, brings together a chilling horror legacy with cutting-edge gaming technology. It’s a spine-tingling journey designed for those eager to embrace a game that’s as gripping as it is terrifying.

Come May 13, Slender: The Arrival VR will harness the powerful capabilities of the PS VR2, introducing horror enthusiasts to the creepiest version of the iconic Slender Man yet. I’m thrilled to dive into why this release is a must-play for anyone daring enough to experience the ultimate in horror gaming.

### Immersed in Virtual Terror

Astonishingly, it’s been more than ten years since Slender: The Arrival first scared our socks off. The 10th Anniversary Update brought with it a fresh coat of visual splendor and a refined gameplay experience. Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, each shadowy figure and unnerving encounter with Slender Man is brought to life with remarkable detail. Slender: The Arrival VR stays true to its roots while embracing the full potential of VR, immersing players like never before.

The PS VR2 isn’t just a peripheral—it’s a game-changer that allowed us to push the eerie vibe of Slender: The Arrival further than we thought possible. All elements—from the atmosphere to the soundscapes—meld perfectly to whisk players away into a hauntingly different world.

A particularly chilling feature of Slender: The Arrival VR is the feedback you get when Slender Man is near. Thanks to the PSVR2 Sense controllers, you’re never left wondering if he’s close. The headset’s vibration feedback ensures you feel like Slender Man is creeping around in your very thoughts.

And it’s not just Slender Man who’s amping up the scare factor; other foes lurk, each ready to send shivers down your spine.

With these new features and more, Slender Man’s presence is creepier and more menacing than ever. While his chilling presence was nerve-wracking on a regular screen, VR takes that experience to a whole new level. And with sound cues becoming more lifelike and immediate, the dread seeps in with every step you take.

### A Slender Reimagining

Slender: The Arrival VR packs everything from the 10th Anniversary update, including upgraded visuals and a fresh storyline. There are new characters to meet, too.

Our team has ensured that VR is accessible for all. From customized interactive menus to various comfort settings—whether you prefer standing, sitting, snap or continuous movement, or adjusting sensitivity—you can tailor the experience to your liking.

The Slender Man has long terrified curious souls across the globe, towering over classic horror legends. Slender: The Arrival remains the faithful representation of Slender Man that fans cherish.

By entwining enhanced gameplay with the PS VR2 headset, we’ve crafted an experience that’s both engaging and unnervingly intimate. It’s this sense of closeness with the game world that heightens the fear factor—something crucial in the survival-horror genre, and yours to explore on May 13.
