The Gathering to develop Blair Witch Project Games

The Gathering to develop Blair Witch Project Games is today’s update from the October 1999 desk, and there is enough here to make retro PC players pay attention.

The useful part: The Gathering will publish multiple games for the PC and at least one console system based on the immensely popular Blair Witch property. Created by Haxan Films and released by Artisan Entertainment in July 1999, the film became a pop culture phenomenon and the most successful and profitable independent film in history, grossing over $140 million in ticket sales. Several development teams affiliated with The Gathering will create the PC games using Terminal Reality’s Nocturne game engine. Listed pricing shows $140, so this is not vapor sitting on a press sheet.
