I don’t do scary games, but I might have to make an exception for the upcoming Blair Witch title that was first announced during E3 2019.

Now, Bloober Team, the studio behind the project has released a new gameplay trailer that highlights some of the controls – and scares.

After watching the trailer, I have but one thought: PROTECT THAT PUP AT ALL COSTS.

Other than that, you get an idea of some of the controls you’ll have in relation to your investigative companion and your almost Nokia-looking phone that is used to stay in communication with your friend. From the trailer, we see a radial dial is used to command your dog and certain sequences show you using a camera (like the original shaky-cam movie) to propel the gameplay and story forward.

It will be interesting to see how the game plays when it releases on August 30, 2019.

It is scheduled for a PC and Xbox One release. There is currently a Steam link for the title, but the end of the trailer just shows a “PC Digital” and Xbox One release, which has some wondering if it will end up being an Epic Games exclusive. We’ve reached out for comment.
