The game’s demo debut at AMC will coincide with the release of the newest film in the popular franchise, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, which opens October 22 with 7:00 p.m. showings.

The Paranormal Activity VR game, set to release in spring 2016, is a premier virtual reality horror game and will be playable on all major VR head mounted displays, including HTC Vive, Playstation VR, and Oculus. Non-VR versions of the game will also be available on Steam, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
“This Paranormal Activity VR game from VRWERX is truly terrifying,” said LeeAnne Stables, President of Worldwide Marketing Partnerships & Licensing for Paramount Pictures. “This is a groundbreaking way to experience the actual thrill of Paranormal Activity, and we are excited to give fans of the movie franchise a first look at what’s coming this spring.”
Supporting partners include HTC, Valve, Epic Games, and NVIDIA, each of whom will supply the technology to make this event possible. The HTC Vive VR headset will take center stage at theaters as players strap on the headset to experience the truly immersive Paranormal Activity VR game. Each interaction is made possible by NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 980 graphics processor.
“We’re excited to bring gaming experiences to life in ways that fans have never imagined,” said Dan O’Brien, VP – VR Planning and Management, HTC. “With the Paranormal Activity VR Game Demo, the HTC Vive transports players from their local theater directly into the immersive world of Paranormal Activity – an experience they’ll never forget.”
