In the game, players delve into the heart of the supernatural as they learn the trade of demonic exorcism and uncover secrets leading them towards a final confrontation with their darkest fears. The experience is part investigation…part exorcism…all horror and told through five chapters, each one featuring a unique demonic entity that will test player’s courage and resolve.
Based in the chilling world created by horror maestro, William Peter Blatty, author of the Academy Award-winning Exorcist series, The Exorcist: Legion VR unfolds through five episodes (each approximately 30 minutes). While the five episodes together tell a dark and disturbing story, each individual chapter includes a full narrative and a completely unique experience.
To set the stage, players step into the shoes of a Boston homicide detective tasked with investigating a series of ritualistic murders, including a priest at a local church. It has all the makings of a serial killer, but they soon discover that it’s much more.
Fun Train announced that the final episodes in The Exorcist: Legion VR saga are set to launch for PlayStation VR on Tuesday, October 9 – just in time for Halloween.
Leveraging the transformative power of VR, gamers will experience first-hand the horrific events of Chapter 4 “Samaritan” and Chapter 5 “The Tomb,” where never-before-seen demonic entities will push the limits of the player’s mental fortitude.
Following is a summary of Chapters 4 – 5:
- Chapter 4 – Samaritan - A failed quarantine zone in Haiti has been racked by an unknown plague, and a slew of health worker deaths has led to the collapse of efforts to control the mounting victim toll. What (or who) lies at the heart of the epidemic is for you to uncover!
- Chapter 5 - The Tomb - In this grand finale, players are transported deep into the mountains of Upper Mesopotamia to face the demon Pazuzu where one last confrontation will put everything they have learned to the test. The episode features some unique VR mechanics as well as a powerful and exhilarating climax.
