Slender: The Arrival News

Hello everyone,

Thank you for all your support so far with Slender: The Arrival's 10th Anniversary Update, we are in the midst of bringing more news your way. We wanted to start off by updating you all on the game's price. As many of you know, the update will be arriving to existing Steam customers for free. In order to reflect the substantial effort re-imagining the title with completely revitalized visuals and a brand new chapter, in the next few days you can expect to see the Steam price increase from 9.99 USD to 19.99 USD. This price change will only affect new customers and will reflect the value of the game on other platforms.

Please be aware that the update is coming out October 18th and if you do purchase the game before then, you will still need to wait until the official update goes live.

We appreciate all the support so far and cannot wait to share even more with you soon!

From the Blue Isle Studios Team.

[h3]Steam Update is Free[/h3]
We want to make sure that as many people as possible get to experience Slender: The Arrival in all of its enhanced glory. For that reason, we have made the decision to launch all of this as a free update to the original game. If you already own the game on Steam, there’s no new product to purchase. On October 18th, open up Steam and download the update, then jump back in and experience the horror all over again.

For those of you who wish to play the older version of the game, you’ll have the ability to switch versions through Steam. Scroll to the bottom of this news post for instructions on how that will be done.


[h3]Price Adjustment[/h3]
On October 18, we’ll be increasing the price on Steam from $9.99 USD to $19.99 USD to reflect the improved visuals and all of the new content and improvements we are adding as part of this major update. The latest generation of consoles, and any future platforms we add the game to will also reflect the updated $19.99 USD pricing.

The last generation consoles, however, will remain priced at $9.99 USD as the new update is not launching on the older console hardware.

[h3]Multiple Languages Supported[/h3]
We have redesigned how our pickups and readables work. Now, each pickup has the option to be viewed as an image, or you can select the ‘Read’ option to see the same pickup in text format.

We have also added subtitles to audio, and contextual subtitle text that pops up when looking at certain narrative objects in the world.

With all of these new features we’ve finally been able to translate the game into multiple languages.

We’ll be supporting the following languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, and Portuguese.

[h3]Future Development[/h3]
This long awaited update has been something we have wanted to share for a long time, and we are totally blown away at all of the comments, reactions and discussions we have seen. We have big plans for future expansions to the game, and we’ll share more of that information as soon as we are ready. Stay tuned for our roadmap, Slender Man isn’t done yet…



[h3]Switching Between Old and New Versions[/h3]
For those of you who wish to experience the older version on Steam, you will have the ability to switch between the Anniversary Update and the original 2013 version by going to your Steam library and swapping branches.

To do this head to your Steam Library and locate ‘Slender: The Arrival’

Click on the gear located to the left and click on ‘Properties’



A pop up menu will appear, from here you’re going to click on the tab that says ‘Betas’ and on the right hand side you’ll see a drop down menu, click on that and choose an option: either ‘Version2013’ or ‘Version2015’. Each year represents a different version of the game, we wanted to leave them both available.



Once done, Steam will begin to download and install the files for that version of the game.

Follow these same instructions to swap back to the Anniversary Update, by clicking ‘none’ in the drop down section.

It’s been ten… long… years…

We are thrilled to announce that Slender: The Arrival, the spine-chilling horror game that has captivated millions of players, is about to become even more terrifyingly immersive. Brace yourselves for a huge update coming this October as we introduce a complete visual overhaul utilizing the latest and greatest technologies and Unreal Engine 5.2.
