Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul to Be Delisted Due to License Expiration
VRWERX, the developer behind the hybrid horror game Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul, has announced that the title will be removed from all digital platforms soon. This delisting is driven by the expiration of the developer's licensing agreement with Paramount Pictures. Currently available on Steam, Meta Quest, and PlayStation VR1, the game is undergoing a final sales campaign, allowing gamers to purchase it at a discount before its permanent removal. Originally released in August 2017 for Steam and PlayStation VR, with a Meta Quest port following in September 2021, the game was initially slated for further content updates. However, VRWERX stated that without the license and necessary financial support, continuing development was not viable. This situation mirrors other licensed VR titles like Tarzan VR, which were also delisted, whereas others such as The Twilight Zone VR opted for rebranding. The announcement highlights the challenges independent developers face when relying on intellectual property licenses from major studios, marking the end of this specific chapter for the Paranormal Activity franchise in virtual reality.
