The fact that Blue Isle Studios just revealed a post-launch roadmap for Slender: The Arrival should tell you a little bit about just how ambitious this revival project really is. We’ve known since the initialannouncementthat it’s a “huge update” built in Unreal Engine 5 (check out the new visuals in the below tweet) but now we’re learning a lot more about what that actually entails.
Not only is co-op multiplayer officially confirmed for Slender: The Arrival’s roadmap, but we also know now that cross-platform mod support is on the way too.
“Create single or multiplayer experiences and online scenarios using the same tools featured in the 10th Anniversary update including AI, environment art, sound effects and most everything used by Blue Isle Studios designers,” reads the press release from Blue Isle. “Create new stories and experiences to the current mythos of Slender and share your nightmarish creations with other players.”
The new Slender: The Arrival launches October 18 for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam and theEpic GamesStore.
