Out of nowhere, Supermassive Games announced The Quarry a few weeks ago with an imminent release in June.  The exceptional cast list and promise of something as sizeable and good as Until Dawn, excited horror lovers everywhere.  Now IGN has been given access to the first 30 minutes of gameplay, and oh my, it seems to be delivering on its promises.

From the gameplay, we can see that there has been a major step up in production values.  The cinematography, the graphics, and particularly the voice acting feel so much more natural and unscripted.  As satisfactory as the Dark Pictures Anthology games are, they were small and on a budget.  The Quarry looks completely the opposite, which at least partially explains the high price point.

The trailer follows two councilors getting lost on the way to the summer camp, and after a mishap, receive help from the local sheriff, played impeccably by Ted Raimi channeling his inner Evil Dead-ness.

The Quarry is due for release in June on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.  You can view the new gameplay below.
