Slender: The Arrival will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3 by publisher Midnight City.
The Xbox Live and PSN version of the survival horror title will feature two levels that will debut first on consoles, and release on PC and Steam at a later date.
Available once the core game is completed, the two levels are a flashback set from the perspective of two of the Slender Man's earlier victims.
As well as the new content, the console release will feature additional polish for the new audience.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Slender: The Arrival is a frustrating horror game in that it's easy to complement specific elements while disliking the core conceit. I may have found Slender's origins to be flawed from the start, yet I'm also left commending a full-fledged game rising out of creepy pasta threads. If nothing else, it's a sign of earnest appreciation from unexpected source material. But when I feel more legitimate tension from linear sections than repeated trial-and-error collecting bits – i.e. the series' main identity – I can't help but feel something is fundamentally lacking. The 10th Anniversary Update showcases Blue Isle's sedulous care in honoring the past, but it's nevertheless tainted by a game trying to pad out a one-trick pony."
Kind of a shame how quickly this game fell off after it's popularity. It even got a movie faster than any other horror game of the last decade. Still an interesting concept and design for the cryptid.
Overpriced imo. I bought the OG for like $2 lol! No co-op til next year either I believe.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This brand new 10th anniversary remake of Slender: The Arrival might be an impressive visual overhaul of what was once a cheap-looking horror game, but at its core, it’s still the same janky and frustrating walking simulator released ten years ago. It may be a cult hit in the horror gaming community, but I didn’t find it very scary, nor compelling. I will give Blue Isle Studios credit for showcasing what Unreal 5 can provide to smaller games and teams, but sadly, mechanic-wise, nothing else of importance has been added. If you haven’t liked Slender: The Arrival back then, I doubt this overhaul will convince you otherwise."
If you are yet to play a Slenderman game but are a fan of all things horror, Slender: The Arrival on Xbox Series X|S is the version to step into.
Slender fl@ping yes
We want it on PS4 aswell :(
The game is boring... Not scary at all...
I have expected this to come...but didn't expect it to get announced now. Makes sense?
Should come out for PS4. Would be perfect for Twitch broadcasts.
