If you haven't heard of internet horror legend Slender Man, then you've probably been living under a rock. With reaction videos all over the internet, and even Halloween outfits witnessed in this particular author's small village, we reckon that this makes the creepy tall dude more famous than the Candy Man. For the first time on Sony consoles, you'll be able to discover what the big fuss is about with Slender: The Arrival, which is due to launch on the PlayStation 3 on the 28th September.
You'll find yourself wandering through a forest, following clues that you discover to uncover a sinister mystery. You're not alone, though, as Slender Man is always on your tail, his presence only noted with eerie noises and a distorted screen. However, we'll have to see if it still holds up its reputation in the scare department now that Hideo Kojima has joined in on the fun.
Have you ever tried the PC release that was all the rage about two years ago? Fumble for a torch in the comments section below.

Where's the ps4 version?!
@Dannyboy1996 I'd wager a PS4 version is definitely coming, it's probably just not ready yet.
Yeah, I got the forest game for free. I don't think I'm ever beating that. Scared the crud out of me.
It would be better on vita under a blanket in the dark lol
I have slender: rising on my phone/iPad. The slender man is more a cultural phenomenon at this point than just a game character....more people being certain he must exist and more impressionable minds using his influence as an excuse for commiting awful crimes....I'm not surprised a game based on the Slender Man has finally spread onto consoles...I've been following the rise of the myth with interest. I can recommend trying the games but also looking into the wider social impact of what started out as (I think) a creepy pasta story on the internet.
yaayyy but nay, ive always wanted to play this. why is it coming to ps3 and not 4 ??? ps3 is so 2013
Waiting for a Vita version then might to try it.
@ShogunRok No I guess it won't come to PS4 cause it's an old game with old engine but for Vita yeah possible.
@Munkyknuts Hes definitely a creepypasta, It actual started on a forum on the Somethingawful forums to make a picture be paranormal, and that's pretty much where it began, it just started spreading after that. the more and more he got popular the more and more people wanted to try to place him in history and have him be real. definitely interesting on how 1 fake photo can turn into a world phenomenon.
And i wonder how this game will actually turn out on PS3? Trophies im sure but i mean if they add anything like easter eggs or something. i wouldnt mind actually getting it. lol
no way! bring slender to ps4!
@Alpha I'm sure it will work well...surviving any of the locations should be challenge enough to earn a trophy. I hope it remains minimalist as it doesn't really need to be fleshed out...just someone alone in a sh*t scary location trying to collect creepy notes. If we can just not have anymore teenagers trying to kill their friends and/or family because the slender man told them to it would be super.
I am very curious about this game. I hope it turns out good.
