Originally set for release next month, Supermassive Games’ The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR has been pushed back to March 16th. The date change results in Switchback VR missing out on being a launch title for Sony’s PlayStation VR2.
Taking to Twitter, Supermassive explained the situation: “It has always been our aim to release in the launch window of the new PlayStation VR2 headset but it is also massively important to us that you, the players, receive the most polished, terrifying experience possible when you strap in for your first ride in The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR. With this in mind, we have made the difficult decision to set a new launch date of March 16, 2023.”
The good news for fans is that you’ll have more time to snag the pre-order bonuses available via the PlayStation Store. Those who purchase the Switchback VR prior to its March release for $39.99 will also snag a number of cosmetic items for the game, including the Demon Handgun, a premium skull and bones cart, a skull bobblehead, and a special edition gold gun.
Similar to Supermassive’s Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR is an on-rails shooter that takes pieces from the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology. Players will meet up with each entry’s antagonist, requiring them to make quick decisions in order to survive. Along the way, you’ll discover how your story connects with each of these worlds, and make sense of the nightmare. And thanks to the PSVR2’s new eye-tracking features and haptic feedback capabilities, players will be granted a more immersive experience than before.
