The Quarry’s Online Multiplayer Mode Has Been Delayed

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 person on launch day, the game’s online play has been delayed.

The 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 waiting is over and we are thrilled for you to finally get The Quarry within 2 weeks. On June 10, the game will be available for single-player play with local couch coop, Movie Mode and 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. Also, read how the game can be completed without pressing a button.
