‘The Exorcist: Legion VR’ First Episodes to Launch on Rift & Vive November 22nd

The scariest time of the year has come and gone, and although we were expecting the first two episodes of The Exorcist: Legion VR in time for Halloween, fans of the film franchise and The Exorcist TV series probably won’t mind one bit. Created by Fun Train and Wolf & Wood, the episodic VR horror-adventure is set to release its first two installments November 22nd.

The game’s story diverges from The Exorcist III (1990), its source material, in telling its own standalone tale over the course of 5 chapters. Stepping into the shoes of a detective, you try to solve the mystery of a priest’s grisly murder. (it was probably demons)

Both Chapter 1: First Rites and Chapter 2: Idle Hands are slated to release on Steam and the Oculus Store November 22nd. The developers say the last 3 will follow soon after, and all episodes will eventually release on Viveport and PSN for PlayStation VR. The creators say run-time for each chapter will vary, with the average session running approximately 20-25 minutes.

First Rites will launch at $4 for the first week during Black Friday, making it a 20% discount off the normal experience, with Idle Hands available at $5.

Developed from the ground-up for virtual reality, The Exorcist: Legion VR supports motion controllers and a few specific locomotion options including blink teleportation and free roam locomotion options. The devs say the game plays equally well in room-scale, standing, or seated.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect:

Chapter 1: Chapel and Priest’s Office

You arrive at the scene of a grisly crime in a small Boston parish. Yellow police tape adorns the room. There’s blood everywhere … even on the ceiling. It’s sinister business, and things are about to get much, much worse.

Chapter 2: Hospital Office & Padded Cell

You arrive in the isolation ward of a secure hospital. In the corner of the padded room is a lone female strapped to a gurney. She babbles incoherently…

Chapter 3, 4 & 5: Nursery, Morgue, Excavation Site

The story continues…

Halloween Scares Await in The Exorcist: Legion VR

It’s now October and before anybody thinks about planning for Christmas there’s Halloween at the end of the month. Naturally for this time of year developers get in on the festivities by releasing some scary videogames and virtual reality (VR) studios are no different, with A Chair in a Room: Greenwater creator Wolf & Wood Interactive due to release the first couple of chapters for The Exorcist: Legion VR.

Based around the infamous film of the same name created by horror maestro William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist: Legion VR  is part investigation, part exorcism as players learn learn the dangerous art of exorcising demons from their hosts.

Set over five chapters – two of which will launch simultaneously this month – each exorcism is based on a real case, with secrets to unlock, several trademark exorcism tools to find and use as well as hidden artifacts that can help your quest.

Wolf & Wood Interactive state that although each chapter will differ slightly on gameplay time on average they should take around 20-25 minutes to complete. There won’t be long to wait for the following chapters either, with the third arriving in November, the fourth in December and the fifth and final one in January 2018.

The Exorcist: Legion VR will support Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR.

VRFocus will continue its coverage of Wolf & Wood Interactive, reporting back with the latest updates.
