This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, and game developers Bloober Team are marking the occasion by creating a Blair Witch video game that will be available for Xbox One and PC as of August 30th.
The first-person game is set in 1996, two years after the events of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.
A young boy disappears in the Black Hills Forest near Burkittsville, Maryland. As Ellis, a former police officer with a troubled past, you join the search. What starts as an ordinary investigation soon turns into an endless nightmare as you confront your fears and the Blair Witch, a mysterious force that haunts the woods.
A trailer for the game can be seen below. This isn't the first time a Blair Witch video game has been released, a trilogy of Blair Witch games came out back in 2000, but this certainly looks like a huge step up from what I've seen of those games.
First-person was definitely the perfect choice for a game based on a found footage movie, dropping the player right into a situation much like the one the film's characters were trapped in. But instead of keeping the evil things that lurk in the Black Hills Forest obscured, this game is going to throw them right at your face.
Give the trailer a look and see if this is a game you'd like to play.
