A new Blair Witch game was revealed at the Xbox E3 2019 press conference today. The game is being developed by Bloober Team, the studio behind Layers of Fear.

The trailer, which is embedded above for your convenience, is approximately two minutes long and does a fine job of conveying that creepy horror tone that should make Blair Witch a hit on Twitch. The game is a first-person, story-driven psychological horror game based on the cinematic lore of Blair Witch.

For those that are into games like Blair Witch, the wait won’t be long. The game was given an August 30, 2019 release date and will be part of the Xbox Games Pass service right out of the gate. That means we are less than three months away from crapping our pants as we try to review it here at Shacknews.
