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

Slender: The Arrival VR from Blue Isle Studios blends the spine-chilling world of horror gaming with cutting-edge virtual reality to craft an experience that promises to leave players thoroughly unsettled. If you’re on the hunt for a title that will truly terrify, this is one game that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Mark your calendar for May 13, as Slender: The Arrival VR prepares to launch with the remarkable capabilities of the PS VR2. This new iteration provides the most intense version of this iconic horror game yet, and I’m thrilled to delve into what makes this release the ultimate way to dive into the ominous world of Slender Man!

### Immersed in Virtual Terror

It’s hard to believe it’s been over ten years since Slender: The Arrival first graced us with its chilling presence. With the recent 10th Anniversary Update, the game now boasts improved graphics and a more immersive gameplay experience. Using the mighty Unreal Engine 5, every shadow and every nerve-wracking encounter with Slender Man is depicted in exquisite detail, all while staying true to the original game. The jump to virtual reality amplifies these elements significantly.

The PS VR2 is not just any gaming accessory—it’s a revolution in how we perceive and engage with our games. By leveraging its potential, we’ve pushed Slender: The Arrival to new heights, blending atmosphere, playability, and sensory stimulation to transport players into an unnerving alternate reality.

A standout feature in Slender: The Arrival VR is the way it uses sensory feedback to remind you of Slender Man’s lurking threat. The Sense controllers’ haptic feedback, combined with the immersive vibrations of the PS VR2 headset, make each thrill and chill something you can feel right in your bones.

Oh, and it’s not just Slender Man you need to watch out for—there are other ominous foes lurking around to keep you on your toes.

With these enhancements and several surprises up our sleeves, Slender Man’s eerie aura has never been more menacing. Knowing he’s close by is unsettling on a flat screen, but in VR? He could appear anywhere, at any moment. Enhanced sound effects contribute to a realistic feel, amplifying the fear of the unknown.

### A Slender Reimagining

Slender: The Arrival VR is loaded with all the enhancements from the 10th Anniversary update, complete with upgraded visuals, fresh storylines, and new characters.

In our endeavor to make the game enjoyable for everyone, we’ve introduced several VR accessibility features, ensuring that any player entering the world of Slender feels at ease. The customizable virtual reality menu, different comfort settings, and movement and sensitivity options are all there to tailor the experience to individual preferences.

Slender Man, towering and terrifying, has become a paranormal legend in his own right. He shares the stage with other horror icons, but Slender: The Arrival stands out as the definitive gaming representation of this haunting figure.

By evolving and deepening its gameplay with the PS VR2, we aim to give players an immersive experience like no other. This enhancement creates a gripping connection with the world on-screen—distinctly crucial and haunting in the survival-horror genre, especially when players can start their haunting adventure on May 13.
