- Plus, 4K HDR and 3D audio supported.
It’s your own personal nightmare where each track has multiple terrifying paths. No two runs will be the same, but each will test your reactions in this multi-sensory VR horror experience.
“We are hugely excited to bring the most gruesome of The Dark Pictures horrors to VR” said Pete Samuels, CEO of Supermassive Games. “The Anthology enables us to explore many different horror subgenres with variety in monsters and locations, and it’s exciting for the team to reimagine so much of this in a single, unified, narrative. We remember Rush of Blood, an original launch title for PSVR in 2016, very fondly. We cannot wait for people to experience this new action-packed horror rollercoaster on the incredible PS VR2.”
