What We Know So Far About The Slender: The Arrival Announcement

#2: At 10:07 a.m., the account for Blue Isle Studios quote retweets this post. They add the caption "The countdown has started: slenderarrival.com".

Following the link will lead visitors to the promotional website established for the game. Underneath an image of Slenderman, a countdown can be found.

This countdown is set to end in roughly 34 days.

Beneath a link to the Youtube upload of the teaser video, visitors also have the option to provide their email addresses in order to "stay tuned".

Aside from this teaser and the updated website, no other details about the project have been provided. Fans have begun to speculate on what this announcement could mean for Slender: The Arrival, and what type of product is being teased.

Ahead are a few speculations and theories on what this announcement could be for.

A remake/remaster of Slender: The Arrival. Due to the updated graphics in the teaser video and the fact that it references a scene towards the ending of the original game, many believe that this is a hint that The Arrival is getting a face-lift.

A continuation of the original game. Some fans, while playing the teaser with audio, have noticed that it contains the sounds of male breathing. Assuming that the figure on the stairs is Charlie (since he is the one guarding the stairs in the original scene this teaser is referencing), this breathing sounds too mature to be coming from him. This has led many to theorize that this could be a new protagonist, likely to be an adult male.

Others believe this could be a port to Switch, a PS5-exclusive remaster, etc.

It is currently unknown what will happen once the countdown ends. Many are assuming there will be an official reveal (trailer, proper announcement, etc.), which should finally confirm what exactly it is in regards to The Arrival.

I will be keeping an eye on this as best as I can. If anyone finds any extra information, please reply to this post!

I wish the Light Fury was at least semi-aquatic.

When I first saw the images of her design, the long fin on her back made me think she was. She looked like a beluga whale. Her skin was smooth, wings and tail streamlined, perfect for swimming through the water.

I thought she was an aquatic dragon.

She was not.

Provoked by my sister, I recently began wondering just what the Light Fury would be like if we saw her in the water. I imagined Toothless hearing her call and following it.
