Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition is arriving this Halloween

Virtual Reality is a perfect companion for many types of video game genres. One of these is undoubtedly horror. Bloober Team appears to have recognised this, as the studio has taken its most recent release, Blair Witch, and adapted it for VR devices. Coming to Oculus Quest first on the 29th of October, Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition appears to be the perfect game for this time of year.

Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition is described as a “brand-new version of the Blair Witch story built specifically for the VR experience” including “redesigned environments” and a “rebuilt story.”

According to UploadVR, the game will feature “new creature encounters, sounds, and in-game events with all-new interactions like catching, throwing, and stacking objects, a marker and paper for notes, breakable tree branches, and the ability to open drawers, doors, gates, and more.”

Retailing for $29.99 and launching on the 29th of October, Blair Witch: Oculus Quest Edition appears to be much more than a simple VR port. To those who do not have an Oculus Quest, the game will come to other VR headsets in the future – but if you wish to play it on Halloween, the Quest is the only option for now.

The original Blair Witch received mixed reviews upon its original release in 2019. That being said, it is clear that Bloober Team has worked hard on the Oculus Quest Edition – hopefully fixing a number of the previous complaints on the way.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
