November 14th, 2017 – Fun Train and Wolf & Wood are proud to bring The Exorcist horror franchise to premium virtual reality with The Exorcist: Legion VR. Based on the events of The Exorcist III, players experience a stand-alone story untold in the movies across five chapters. Chapter 1: First Rites and Chapter 2: Idle Hands are expected out November 22nd, with the rest following soon after. First Rites will launch at $3.99 for the first week during Black Friday, making it a 20% discount off the normal experience, with Idle Hands available at $4.99.

The Legion has come! A variety of demons have returned to our world just as Pazuzu (the main demon from The Exorcist franchise) promised. Follow in the shoes of a detective in Chapter 1 as they uncover strange details behind the grisly murder of a priest. Each subsequent Chapter takes the player further in the journey as they assume the role of a detective investigating the demonic entities lurking in the shadows, culminating in a satisfying ending for any fan of the franchise.

Five stand-alone episodic chapters that come together for a truly cinematic end.
Don’t just play the movies, live a whole new story experience in full VR!
Step into the shoes of an exorcist to confront ancient forces of evil when everything is at stake!
Discover an intricate story filled with mystery and peril.
Choose between HTC Vive or Oculus Rift headsets via SteamVR or purchase directly from the Oculus Store for an experience unlike any other.
Switch between both free roam and teleport locomotion to have full control over your experience.
Play using room scale, standing, or even seated.
Utilize a menu consisting of a cellphone, an exorcism kit, among other important items found during the journey.
Unique items found throughout the stories are collected in your evidence room to be evaluated at a later time.
Chapters can be replayed at any time, enabling users to discover hidden story content, special achievements and easter eggs.
Chapter 1 and 2 will be out for PCs concurrently on November 22nd on Oculus Store and SteamVR, with a later release on Viveport and Playstation Network Store.

“This franchise deserves to be done right and the only way to have a truly definitive experience for such a story is in virtual reality,” said Douglas Nabors, CEO of Fun Train. “Playing a non-VR horror game is one thing when you’re safely behind a monitor. But, when you’re living the horror up close and personal, The Exorcist: Legion VR will resonate with you for years to come.”

The post-apocalyptic world is filled with mysterious technology and Dark Age superstition, diverse communities that react to every action, and a rich ecosystem of creatures to interact with, from animals to people to monsters. You are free to explore the vast yet unforgiving sandbox world, whether following the main story line or heading off on a side quest.

Teriel can also pick locks, hack electronics, and keep to the shadows to avoid detection.
