This is not the final instalment of The Dark Pictures Anthology. That game, The Devil In Me, will star Jessie Buckley and be released later this year. This is The Quarry, a new completely different game. UK-based developer Supermassive Games is partnering with publisher 2K instead of Bandai Namco to deliver an original tale of terror set to get your palms sweating on 10 June.
Coming to both PS4 and PS5, the just-announced project is well within Supermassive’s wheelhouse. While The Dark Pictures borrows more modern horror inflections, The Quarry feels like an ’80s throwback – VHS scan lines and all. Stop us if you’ve heard this before: teen counsellors throw an end-of-camp party – but little do they know what lurks in the dark at Hackett’s Quarry. It’s a summer camp slasher à la Friday The 13th, with a dash of hillbilly horror, and just maybe the shadow of something else. Supermassive is known for late-in-the-game twists so we can’t rule out a supernatural or creature-feature surprise.
MOVIE NIGHT FRIGHTS
While rapid-fire QTEs make a comeback, you’ll also have to choose your words carefully during dialogue sequences. There are nine unfortunate souls to shield from certain death and, as in Supermassive’s recent releases, who lives to see the dawn and who gets slashed all depends on how you make decisions under pressure. Will you play into genre tropes and check out that weird noise? Or will you do your best to flip the script whenever you can?
