After the success of Until Dawn, Supermassive Games is back with another teen-horror romp releasing this summer. The Quarry is jam-packed with celebrity voices, some of which are synonymous with the horror genre. It’s hugely accessible, offering a number of ways to play and interact with the experience.
The developer dropped a teaser for The Quarry over onTwitterbut the official reveal has just gone live and you can check it out below. Fans of classic slasher flicks will almost certainly love the premise; camp counselors getting picked off over a balmy summer night with their fate resting in your hands. And the chops of the actors involved will get you even more hyped.
You may have spotted a few familiar faces: we’ve got Scream’s David Arquette, A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Lin Shaye, Jurassic World’s Justice Smith, and Aliens' Lance Henriksen, to name a few.
In terms of gameplay, Until Dawn players will be familiar with the formula. Your choices will shape the story and whether your character will ultimately live or die. With nine camp counselors to choose from, you can have all kinds of grisly fun.
Nervous that your poor decision making skills will spill over from your real life into the game? Fret not! You can play with up to seven of your most sensible friends online, letting them watch along and vote on key decisions. Or you can opt for some classic couch co-op, steering the trajectory of your own counselor.
Keen to make the game enjoyable for everyone, The Quarry lets players customize the difficulty. And if you’re too much of a coward to actually play, you watch the action unfurl in Movie Mode. So if you want to enjoy a cinematic thriller, you can do just that, while also choosing how the story pans out.
“The Quarry is breaking new ground across interactive storytelling and technology to create a truly visceral teen-horror experience,” says director Will Byles. “I can’t wait to see the choices you make, who you’ll save, and who you’re willing to sacrifice!”

The pre-order bonus throws in the three cinematic filters so there’s a way to enjoy that feature without forking out for the Deluxe Edition.
The Quarry launches on June 10, 2022, which is also the cut-off for pre-orders. The game is available in both physical and digital editions for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S. If you’re on PC, you can only pick it up digitally onSteam.
The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are optimized for the current-gen consoles. As you’d expect, the Deluxe Edition includes both last and current-gen versions of the game. It’s worth noting that cross-gen crossplay isn’t available, and there’s no cross progression when it comes to save data.
The pricing is a bit all over the place but we’ll update it with more details as soon as we get them. Starting off with the digital editions:
