The Quarry’s Online Multiplayer Mode Delayed To July

Supermassive Games’ The Quarry launches in just a couple of weeks and serves as a campy (as in a literal summer camp) spiritual successor to Until Dawn. While you’ll be able to brave the cinematic horrors with friends in real life on launch day, the game’s online play has been delayed.

Studio tweeted a message stating that it’s delaying The Quarry’s online multiplayer to no later than July 8. That’s roughly a month after the game’s June 10 launch. Supermassive says the change was done to polish the remainder of the game (such as the single-player or local co-op) by the date set.

This is the complete statement:

The wait has almost ended, and my team and I can’t wait for you all to play The Quarry in less than 2 weeks. It will debut on June 10 with local couch coop, and Movie Mode along the single player campaign.

However, we’ve made the difficult decision to delay the online multiplayer mode to deliver the best possible experience for you. It’s not a long wait though – online multiplayer will be added via an update by July 8th. 

We appreciate your understanding and hope you’re just as excited as we are for launch in just 15 days!

While a bummer, one would assume Supermassive’s other option was to delay The Quarry entirely, and it chose what it deemed the lesser of two evils. A group of teenager summer camp counselors are attacked by mysterious locals in the game. Like Until Dawn and the Dark Pictures Anthology, players are presented with a myriad of choices that cause the story to branch in several ways – so much so that The Quarry apparently has 186 unique endings. The Quarry stars an ensemble cast that features David Arquette, Lin Shaye, Ted Raimi, Ariel Winter, Brenda Song, Justice Smith, and others. 

PlayStation 5 will get The Quarry on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 4. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will also have it. Supermassive recently released footage of the game’s first 30 minutes that you can watch here. You can also learn how to finish the game by not pressing any buttons.
