Every August 2019 Video Game - Ranked By Anticipation

5. Blair Witch

control game
Lionsgate Games

Release Date: August 30th

Platforms: PC, Xbox One

The Blair Witch license is hardly a boiling hot property at present. The original has been overshadowed by the modern 'found footage' trend, and any direct attempts to follow it up, have misfired.

Regardless, the mythology is still ripe for exploring in new and interesting ways, plus the Layer of Fear developers (Bloober Team) is behind this new game, with them a highly talented bunch when it comes to FPS fright-fests.

If this was a random knock-off to ride on the coattails of the license, it should be written off, but due to the studio and the promos, this looks could actually be pretty darn decent.
