Polish video game developer Bloober Team has released the first official trailer for ‘Blair Witch’. This video game is of course, an adaptation of the cult-hit horror film from 1999. The movie popularized the found-footage horror genre, and its first-person narrative lends itself well to a video game adaptation.
Bloober Team is the same group responsible for ‘Layers of Fear‘ and the cyberpunk horror ‘Observer’. So they seem to be the perfect fit to bring the Blair Witch mythos in video game form. See the first trailer for yourself below:
