And since the game is set at summer camp, that release timing makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n<p>Coming to us from Will Byles, the director of Until Dawn, The Quarry will offer a somewhat similar experience to that modern horror gaming favourite, allowing the player to guide a cast of characters (played by famous faces such as David Arquette) through a gauntlet of scary situations that wouldn\u2019t look out of place on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the announcement, <a href=\"\/\/RadioTimes.com&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">RadioTimes.com<\/a> had a video call with Will Byles to talk through all of our big questions about the game, and from Byles\u2019 answers we\u2019ve pulled together the handy guide below. If you\u2019re intrigued about The Quarry, then, read on to learn all about it!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is The Quarry?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The official press release describes The Quarry as \u201can all-new teen-horror narrative game where your every choice, big or small, shapes your story and determines who lives to tell the tale\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The story of The Quarry was teased in the announcement like so: \u201cAs the sun sets on the last day of summer camp, the teenage counselors of Hackett\u2019s Quarry throw a party to celebrate. No kids. No adults. No rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings quickly take a turn for the worse. Hunted by blood-drenched locals and something far more sinister, the teens\u2019 party plans unravel into an unpredictable night of horror. Friendly banter and flirtations give way to life-or-death decisions, as relationships build or break under the strain of unimaginable choices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlay as each of the nine camp counselors in a thrilling cinematic tale, where every choice shapes your unique story from a tangled web of possibilities. Any character can be the star of the show \u2013 or die before daylight comes. How will your story unfold?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Quarry gameplay will support local and online multiplayer where up to eight players can work together to control the imperilled characters.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Quarry release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Quarry release date is\u00a0<strong>10th June 2022<\/strong>, the publishers from 2K have confirmed, with the game due to launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X\/S and Steam for PC on that very date. There\u2019s no word on a Nintendo Switch release at this stage, so don\u2019t hold your breath on that front.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Quarry trailer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The best way to wrap your head around The Quarry is to watch the first teaser trailer, which is available to watch right now:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">If you thought summer camp was horrifying already, you ain&#8217;t seen nothing yet!

There\u2019s this supernatural stuff going on, and then there\u2019s also a monster, so it\u2019s really kind of dialled up Until Dawn to 11.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Quarry cast<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the immediately impressive things about The Quarry is its star-studded cast of familiar faces and horror veterans, including David Arquette from Scream, Ariel Winter from Modern Family, Justice Smith from Detective Pikachu, Brenda Song from Dollface, Lance Henriksen from Aliens, Lin Shaye from A Nightmare on Elm Street, Ted Raimi of The Evil Dead and Grace Zabriskie from Twin Peaks.<\/p>\n<p>What was it like for Byles to work with a horror legend like Arquette? Byles says: \u201cHe\u2019s completely a lovely man. There\u2019s a few people that you meet and you go, \u2018Oh, yeah, no, you\u2019re mad famous\u2019. And so that was kind of a weird one with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was also talking about this whole thing he did, I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve seen You Cannot Kill David Arquette \u2013 the documentary where he does the wrestling? It\u2019s brilliant. It\u2019s worth watching. But he was showing us this circular scar on his neck. And it\u2019s where he was stabbed in the throat by somebody with a fluorescent broken thing in a wrestling match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyway, so he was lovely, but they all were. I mean Ted Raimi, you know, he\u2019s out of Evil Dead and his brother is Sam Raimi, obviously, and so he\u2019s there. And it\u2019s like, he\u2019s brilliant. And then Lin Shaye, who was in all the Insidious movies. Grace Zabriskie, who\u2019s in Twin Peaks. Every time you turn around, it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh God, it\u2019s you\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it really adds something to the game, it really gives it a feel of like, \u2018This is like a grown-up horror\u2019. And they\u2019re all part of that slight post-modern, self-referential aura. Scream, really, I think is when it first sort of came out, where the rules were set up. And we use that a lot, we use that as part of our choice-making systems, the understanding that people know the rules of horror.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--full=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C200,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C200,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C236&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C236&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C270&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C270&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C272&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C272&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1607539\" align=\"\" size-full=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--full=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/The-Quarry-cast-b8a6495.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Scream\" star=\"\" david=\"\" arquette=\"\" is=\"\" in=\"\" the=\"\" quarry=\"\" cast.=\"\" title=\"&quot;The-Quarry-cast&quot;\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" icon-camera-circle=\"\"\/> Scream star David Arquette is in The Quarry cast.<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>Supermassive Games\/2K<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Is The Quarry a sequel to Until Dawn?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Given the structural similarities and the shared director, you might be wondering if The Quarry is a sequel to Until Dawn. According to Byles, though, it\u2019s only a successor in the spiritual sense.<\/p>\n<p>Byles told us: \u201cThis really, I suppose, is sort of the spiritual successor to [Until Dawn]. It\u2019s still very much the same ilk as that \u2013 it\u2019s a teen horror, it\u2019s the same kind of number of characters. It\u2019s actually got one more [character].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone can live, everyone can die, exactly the same as that, although we have got another state which I won\u2019t go into too much because it\u2019s a little bit of a spoiler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo there\u2019s that, and it still has that same sort of lightness of touch, although we\u2019ve probably gone a bit further in the archetype on this one. So for this, it\u2019s <em>definitely<\/em> teen horror. We\u2019ve really gone right back to its roots into the summer camp thing, you know, with Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp and those sorts of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why isn\u2019t The Quarry in The Dark Pictures Anthology?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another question you might be asking is this \u2013 why isn\u2019t The Quarry being released as part of Supermassive Games\u2019 ongoing series The Dark Pictures Anthology?<\/p>\n<p>Said anthology has housed a number of horror games in recent years \u2013 Man of Medan, House of Ashes and Little Hope have been released under that banner so far, with The Devil in Me being the next entry expected \u2013 but The Quarry is being separated out as its own product, to such an extent that 2K is publishing it instead of Bandai Namco, the publishers of The Dark Pictures Anthology.<\/p>\n<p>We put this question to Byles and this is what he said: \u201cSo The Dark Pictures has a real kind of drive of its own \u2013 it\u2019s two-player, or shared stories as it\u2019s called. They\u2019re shorter, they\u2019re about five hours long, as opposed to this, which is sort of seven to 10 hours. It has a very different number of playable characters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the biggest difference, I really think, is tone more than anything else. The tone of this is sort of slightly more Buffy, slightly more Supernatural, it doesn\u2019t take itself very seriously. It\u2019s very much the postmodern horror and very self-referential, whereas The Dark Pictures is definitely more of a [straight up] horror. And it\u2019s able, because it\u2019s an anthology, to go, \u2018OK, we\u2019re gonna do that, and now we\u2019re gonna do that, and then we\u2019re gonna do that\u2019, and it needs that kind of separation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s, I suppose, the biggest thing really. It\u2019s really, I think, it comes down to that more than anything else \u2013 it\u2019s just a different style. It\u2019s like an old film studio really, you just have different sorts of different tones for different things.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\"

Games\/2K<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<h2><strong>The Quarry endings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the years since Until Dawn released, you could argue that players and the public at large have become more accustomed to interactive stories with multiple endings. Has this given Byles and his team from Supermassive the confidence to try bigger and bolder branching narratives?<\/p>\n<p>Byles agrees that \u201ca straight linear story from A to B with a single protagonist is fine\u201d for audiences seeking interactivity in this day and age. \u201cAnd in fact, Charlie Brooker has done that really well with [Black Mirror\u2019s] Bandersnatch and stuff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe difficulty with that is that anytime you kill or stop that character, it stops the story, it\u2019s truncated. So we have this multitude of protagonists, and that gives us this kind of spoked wheel of a story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if somebody dies an hour in, the rest of the structure is still there, all those little other spokes are all still headed down towards this sort of ending. So that gives us a structure there. And of those nine stories going in, there\u2019s 186 endings just of those.\u201d When we laughed at the prospect of that many endings, Byles added: \u201cI know, it\u2019s mental, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Quarry graphics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One thing you\u2019ll notice from The Quarry trailer is its incredible graphics, with stars like Arquette being instantly recognisable in digital form. How did Byles make them look so real? Have there been massive tech advancements since Until Dawn?<\/p>\n<p>Byles explained: \u201cI went to see Digital Domain, the guys who did Thanos for the Avengers [movies]. And they\u2019ve been working on all this \u2013 the Digital Human Group, they\u2019re called, and their stuff is amazing. It\u2019s just amazing, but it\u2019s for film. We were talking and they\u2019ve been doing some stuff in Unreal [Engine, a popular tool for game development]. And it was like, \u2018Do you know what, if we could get this into a game, it would be a game changer, literally\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so we we started working on it, we started doing some tests with them. We started with Grace Zabriskie, we did a test with her and it was just like, \u2018This is fantastic\u2019. So everything you see in that trailer is in-game, it\u2019s the runtime version, there\u2019s no kind of captured or rendered videos, it\u2019s just literally running in the game. And that\u2019s all the way through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s the biggest thing, the performances, and they are actually fully performance-captured, and their bodies were all captured as well. Both scale and size and musculature and everything. Because of that you can get a subtlety of performance that we couldn\u2019t do earlier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe could get good performances before \u2013 and I love Until Dawn, I\u2019m not knocking it \u2013 but the subtlety you can get now, you can see the nuance, and you can see regret in people\u2019s eyes when they\u2019ve made a choice, which is a hard thing to do. As you know, as humans, we 100 per cent know this stuff and you can catch it from people. But to catch that on a digital runtime avatar effectively is really unusual. And so that\u2019s the biggest jump forward.\u201d<\/p> <h2><strong>The Quarry difficulty options<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Players that are worried about getting their favourite characters killed will be glad to hear that The Quarry does have difficulty options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to get really accessible,\u201d Byles said. \u201cSo if you\u2019re not great or particularly fluent with a controller, and you don\u2019t like Quick Time Events or something like that, because they stress you out. Or just, you know, you don\u2019t want to have an accidental story change, then we could just turn that off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we could do that all the way through every single level of interaction until you end up with literally just a movie. And then with that movie, also, you can then go, \u2018OK, I just want to have a happy ending movie, or I want to have a gore fest movie\u2019, or whatever. There\u2019s a whole bunch of different sort of endings or styles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd you can even then go into all the characters and just go, \u2018OK, I\u2019ve got a whole bunch of options for this character. I want to make them particularly clumsy, I want to make them slightly irascible\u2019, or whatever those characteristics are. And you could do that for every one of those playable characters, and then just hit play and just see what happens with that. So you kind of get that range.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve also added in, for the deluxe version, and also once you\u2019ve played it through once, three lives. So if you do something that\u2019s just like, \u2018Ah, that\u2019s really annoying\u2019, you\u2019ve got a little rewind. It\u2019s three, so it\u2019s not a major thing \u2013 you know, there\u2019s hundreds of deaths in the game, so the three doesn\u2019t really make a tangible difference to your story. But it does give you that little bit of a, \u2018OK, I\u2019ve got maybe a bit of a breather, if I just did something, or I just missed something, and it was like, <em>really<\/em>? That seems so mean.'\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This will be music to the ears of gamers that hate getting characters killed, of course.
