Why The Quarry Won't Have Online Multiplayer At Launch

In previous titles from the British game developer, players are encouraged to play with friends, with each player taking control of one of the game's protagonists.

The Quarry is an upcoming interactive horror game from Supermassive Games and 2K Games serving as the spiritual successor to 2015's critically acclaimed Until Dawn. This isn't the first spin-off from that game, as a VR experience titled Until Dawn: Rush of Blood was released in 2016, set in the same world as teen horror slasher Until Dawn and featuring one of its nightmarish antagonists, The Psycho.
