Slender: The Arrival 10th Anniversary Update - Slenderman Gets A Full Revamp & a Whole New Chapter! 

Slender: The Arrival has just had a massive 10 year anniversary update that totally overhauls the original levels and adds a whole new chapter! This video features a full playthrough, as well as the Genesis (classic Slenderman Rosewood Park) level and the new chapter (called Nightmare).

I'm looking forward to the new game where he just hurls insults at you; It's called Slander Man.

Earphones are a must. Very dynamic sound design. The footsteps noises are top notch. Also that music is very haunting.

I still think that a good way to bring back slenderman is have the pages you collect be actual, real clues to a mystery you need to solve to which place you need to go to next and who to talk to for leads.

... Holy crap, it's been 10 years. Great memories messing around with this with my friends.

Wow, 10 years? I believe that my first exposure of slenderman was Marble Hornets, such a classic and really an intro of what to come for youtube.

The first jump scare after the prologue completely took you off guard. I screamed and dropped my phone too. Glad we could relive the horror of Slendy again, together!

Man, this is such a nostalgia burst.

Ah yes, flashbacks to a time when Slenderman was everywhere. I never did manage to finish this game, Slenderman was always so freaky, even though he mostly just stands there looking menacing. Hearing the sublte 'dun dun dun' in the soundtrack after you pick up the first page still fills me with anxiety.

Notable changes: - Stamina recharges faster than the original. - Slender Man has improved range to kill the player, also has more efficient and opportune spawns inside houses to catch the player off guard. - When a player jumps from a high cliff and hits the ground they are momentarily halted. - Chaser is now more relentless and harder to avoid, also has higher speed than the original. Chaser also has reduced stun from flashlight. - On Hardcore, Chaser can kill you in two takedowns instead of the usual three in the original. - You can now die in the cellar on Homestead when you run into Charlie while he is standing still which did not happen in the original. - The Arrival chapter now forces the player to choose between routes and is completely based on RNG. You can no longer simply run through the brush of trees and skip the chapter almost entirely. - Slender Man's dark vines can now instant kill the player on the Arrival chapter unlike the original whereas he just momentarily halts your movement. They also have improved range. - Slender Man is much more difficult to avoid on Genesis chapter and the map overall has been shrunk in size. - The elevator glitch in the Abyss chapter that allowed the player to fall off the map no longer exists. - Flashlight no longer dims on Hardcore difficulty with prolonged use.

WHOA, never saw this coming! This is so cool! Happy 10th Anniversary to this classic. Oh... it really has been ten years, hasn't it? Aaaaand now I feel old....

Never in my years would I think I would see this game again, but here we are. I remeber this being a big deal for YT back in 2013, as this was at the time the biggest Slender game we got. In terms of gameplay, story and quality that is. Now it is a little dated for todays standards, but if there is one thing this game nails, and this dates back to even the OG Slender, is Atmosphere. And with the new update, this is close to a modern remake/remaster as we can get, the new look is a nice coat of paint for this, and some areas look absolutly gorgous. Even helping with some sections, cause I recall the mine section being annoying back then with how dark it used to be. Even the new content adds more good spooks to this classic. Now it's not perfect, it does have some tropes, and honestly the animation on the Demon Child thing could look better, but all in all this is a great remaster to a classic from back then. Who knows, maybe more people will come along and bring back this icon of internet horror in new and creative ways? Only time will tell. Also, and small spoilers so don't read if you haven't played/watched yet: But now after revisting this, with the objectively better graphics, new text and animations, I never put it together back then, but the ending is basically confirming what happened to Kate. CR obviously got caught or burned himself to death, and Kate ran off. But somehow, after all the time and insanity, somehow turned into that Hooded creature that chased you in the mines. Best I can think of, Slendy finally got to her and she is now one of his pawns in his hauntings. At least that's the best I can surmize.

22:37 It's only your first page and slender is already onto your ass! 😂😭☠️

Small gameplay changes I've found from the old to new version: Slendy is MUCH more passive, especially in 8 pages. He's also super good at jumpscares, I had him appear in a hallway in the mine, I ducked into a room to avoid him and he was instantly in that same room! Still prone to instant kills which is a little ech :/ The Chaser does NOT leave you alone once it spots you, and since you cant slow sprint anymore, its impossible to lose it once its after you.

There's no way Slenderman has been a thing for a full decade now? It seems like a newer Internet horror. The real fear is all the time has went by.

I haven't even fully watched it, but the Genesis level is so much better in terms of visuals. The original Genesis is a good remaster. It did become the only way to play it, but that is because the original Eight Pages is gone. The environment was much nicer, but a lot of the textures got changed. In this re-remaster? SO MUCH BETTER. The building has the original bricks on the outside and the inside looks so much better. The silo isn't red but it actually looks like a silo now lmao. Plus with the flashlight actually refracting light, that helps it look cooler too! Plus they most def made the trees taller and I think that helps make you feel more trapped in the forest. A lot of the original elements from the original levels are kept and that's a good thing. They had already good stuff to them, but I am so glad that they clearly went back and gave the Genesis level some proper treatment this time. I absolutely love it.

The flashlight is so weird to look at. It actually sucks the light away from anything it shines at in that dark ring. I get what they tried to do but that's just not quite the right way to do that.

Happy birthday slendy! This is so nostalgic omg. I remember watching Mark playing it and being absolutely terrified as a kid. Good times

If im not mistaken. In the end you play as Charlie’s dad as it was stated before that after he got took and turned into a proxy, his mom moved on eventually, while his dad had to be locked away in a mental hospital.

slender man remastered, EVERYBODY GETS A REMASTER BABY

Whoa, what a blast from the past!

Wish at atleast Lauren got some lines on whatever important environment .

A solid, fantastic upgrade for a game that still chills me to my core today.

Man, 10 years??? I remember watching playthrough videos from ‘11 drunk guys’ playing various Slender games. What a nostalgia trip!

another great thing is that its supposed to get either 2 more or 3 more chapters next year

1:02:15 welp, a murderous demon is here to kill me. Better turn around and read what the lore on the photo! 1:03:47 it sounds like it's throwing a tantrum over you taking its toys 1:04:36 Verzfeiflung means despair in German. The open spaces aren't making an impression on me anymore, but the part inside the house with open windows was terrifying. 1:12:26 he looks like he's humping you Okay, the forest fire part is panic-inducing, too. 1:18:28 he wants his PRECIOUSSSSSS! Filthy hobbitses, they stoles it!

To this day, Slender Man still scares the shit out of me

It is even more hype knowing that Slender: The Arrival has also been confirmed to get an official sequel sometime next year in 2024 titled "S: The Lost Chapters" 😁😁😁😁😁

56:22 there are at least three names that also appear in Silent Hill: James, Rose, and Walter.

finally the moment I’ve been waiting for even though I might not be able to play it on my iPod anytime soon

Holy mackerel, how did I miss this?

Slender is back!

i watched this during the peak of let’s play youtube. can’t believe it’s been 10 years

1:37:38 true gamer moment, check every single corner incase miss stuff

looks like a completely new engine very pretty

Hah, crazy they're doing the 10 year anniversary like 5 years early. It hasn't been that long... r-right?

I cannot believe that it has been ten years since I played the original one, Jesus... this overhaul looks very nice, I am tempted to give it another go.

God, I remember when slender was still a huge thing. Can't believe it's been so long already.

IT LOOKS SO GOOD

Now this is a big win

0:28 wake up babe new HE lore

Sorry for some information, how do you save the game data while you are playing?

10:54 pretty sure that was a pterodactyl. Nothing to worry about

sick

In genesis chapter thats kate. Kate is in the og slender: the eight pages game and genesis is kates chapter

Man i need to find my email that has the game file. Miss this old classic. I was such a scardy cat trying to play it, i was really into the lore of it all.

Love this game from the time of release.

I like HIM too. Not my favourite band to paint walls from the floor to the ceiling though.

It looks the same as it looked when i was 12. Ultra Realistic.

I wonder if the new level is an homage to older Slender games that featured Slender in hospitals or sanatoriums.

i would acually love to see new games or even an analog horror series about the slendy guy,i remeber back in the day when i was a kid with 12 yrs beliving the it was real, and looking into videos on youtube, being intrigued, and scared about it

Maybe this was true in the original, but I noticed this update changes the 8 pages so the pages are not random, but the terrain and locations are moved around instead (although i am sure its just several versions of the map, at random).

The coolest game about Slenderman

Creepypasta Vibes ;)

Oh god, i can feel i am 16 years old again!

The graphics were good in the 1.0 version, but then they got downgraded in the 2.0 version for the weak pc’s. Then they got fully upgraded in the 3.0 version which is what we have now.

26:09 That fucking jumpscare me and I missed that feeling so much... Aawwwwwwwwugh!!! SLENDERMAN, YOU ARE A DICK FOR THAT!

I wish I had my old YT channel were I had a livestream of being scared, but I deleted it all out of embarrassment after one of my friends found it 😂

It's a good game 😊😊

2:20 the beavers got them. The beavers don't like when you just drive over their toppled trees.

Charlie is the rake

Whoa! It's been 10 years already? I haven't even gotten around to playing the original game yet... This looks nice but the flashlight needs to be tweaked a bit and the echo of your footsteps outside doesn't make any sense. Also, they could have easily integrated the new chapter into the main game. A shame they didn't. 22:55 LOL! For a moment there I thought it was a TARDIS...

Best Horror Game Ever

The mine chaser has two settings: 1)*gleefully* mahna mahna :) 2)*pig squeal* ):-[

We need a Extended Ending

This game was my fnaf

3:36 yeah, I seen 'im. Last time I saw him he was told by his sunglass-wearing sociopath father to get into the fvcking robot or his peer Rei will have to. And off he went in a giant mech, punching angels and shit.

The only part that still bugs me is the generator sequence because the running and stamina is dog shit to the point of just being annoying. It would be nice if they patch that so the running or stamina could be a bit more forgiving because as it is right now, it's just a chore, especially when the generators are randomized.

🎉

1:28:42 I think the Nightmare Chapter is Replacing by the Haunted one

36:49 (bookmark)

37:55 FVCKER CAN RUN UP STAIRS! That's illegal! It's against the vidya gaem rules!

I wonder if Vegeta will make Krillin play this update or not...

👍🏻✌🏻

They made the outside at night WAY too bright, kinda ruins the atmosphere.

ah yes, i remember watching pewdiepie play this good times

Wait... Charlie Matheson... missing kid... move letters around and remove some... Charile Mason... CHERYL MASON? That Cheryl Mason from Silent Hill 1??

Idk why is running so low in my PC, like any configs you can share to me pls? :(

I will never give him $20

It got an update?

I’m rly hoping someone would just give Slenderman the story and ending it deserves, the creepy pasta is over a decade old now and rly needs to be rightly put to rest, even if the “lore” doesn’t fit with the “original story”

Marble Hornets 👻🌚🌚🙈😻

Why does Slender take so long to kill you now?

On ps4 too?

recently played this on my switch just for the nostalgia trip and man this is such a huge upgrade over that ugly looking game lmao

God I really hope Markiplier comes around and plays this!

1:24:44 Slender Man Piano Sting

I refuse to buy this game again on console, they should've just made it a free update on there like they promised

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sh** really

1:24:20 There’s Slender Man

добрый, хочу замутить простой обзор, даш твой контент по прохождение?

Still one of the worst flashlights in video games. The only thing they really needed to fix and...they didn't
