Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double mixes live-action with virtual worlds, coming soon

Playism's upcoming release, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double, offers a unique blend of FMV and augmented reality gameplay. Players step into the shoes of an investigator probing the disappearance of a missing YouTuber specializing in urban legends.

The game features a cast of characters claiming to be part of the missing YouTuber's team, and unravels the mystery surrounding a doppelganger legend. The innovative gameplay involves using your phone's camera to explore 3D environments overlaid with FMV footage – a creative approach to the often-cheesy FMV genre.

While not aiming for a highbrow psychological thriller, Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double embraces the inherent campiness often associated with FMV horror. The game's unusual concept and execution make it an intriguing title to keep an eye on this winter. Although a precise release date remains unannounced, its blend of FMV and AR investigation promises a fun, if not necessarily groundbreaking, experience.
