The spooky game Slender: The Eight Pages kicked off the Slender Man craze back in the 2010s, tasking players with grabbing eight pages while dodging a creepy figure. Its success led to Slender: The Arrival in 2013, which built a bigger, scarier world. Now, get ready for Slender: The Arrival VR, hitting PSVR2, Meta Quest, and PC on May 13, 2025. Developed by Blue Isle Studios and published by Perp Games, this VR version was teased at the Future Game Show Spring Showcase, promising a fresh dose of terror in virtual reality.
This new Slender: The Arrival VR comes packed with updates from the 10th Anniversary edition. You’ll dive into a new story about Charlie Matheson’s dad, enjoy sharper visuals, and see every shadow and detail pop like never before. It also supports more languages and subtitles, making it easier for everyone to jump in. Plus, the game’s been tweaked for VR with handy features like custom menus, options for standing or sitting, and smooth or snappy movement controls to keep you comfortable while you’re spooked.
What makes this VR trip extra wild? The PSVR2 version uses haptic feedback to make you feel Slender Man creeping up. The controllers and headset vibrate to amp up the fear, and it’s not just him—other enemies will rattle you too. According to Ian Strachan from Perp Games, this setup tricks your brain into thinking Slender Man’s right there with you. It’s all about pulling you deeper into the horror, whether you’re dodging him or facing new threats in this revamped survival scare-fest.
