Slender: The Arrival creeps up on PS3 September 23 [Update: Xbox 360 the next day]


Your old pal Slender Man will make his console debut later this month with the launch of Slender: The Arrival for the PlayStation 3, developer Blue Isle Studios revealed today.

Inspired by an Internet-born mythos, Slender: The Arrival is a first-person horror game in which players navigate sparsely-lit environments while they're stalked by the faceless (but sharply-dressed) Slender Man. The freeware game Slender: The Eight Pages kicked off explosive growth within the horror genre on PC platforms following its release in 2012, and the PS3 port of its sequel The Arrival marks the first Slender Man appearance on consoles.

Developer Alex Tintor notes that Slender: The Arrival will feature new levels, new characters, and expanded storyline content when it hits the PlayStation 3 on September 23.

Update: After his first day of terrorizing North American PlayStation fans, Slender Man will give European PS3 fans and global Xbox 360 users a scare on September 24. The PS3 version of The Arrival will be priced at $9.99.
