<p>Supermassive Games’ <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/03/17/the-quarry-is-supermassives-spiritual-successor-to-until-dawn" target="_blank">The Quarry</a> launches in just a couple of weeks and serves as a campy (as in a literal summer camp) spiritual successor to Until Dawn. While you’ll be able to brave the cinematic horrors with friends in person&nbsp;on launch day, the game’s online play has been delayed.</p>
<p>The studio <a href="https://twitter.com/SuperMGames/status/1529807079191502848" target="_blank">tweeted</a> a message stating that it’s delaying The Quarry’s online multiplayer to no later than July 8. That’s roughly a month after the game’s June 10 launch. Supermassive explains the move was made to ensure the rest of the game, such as its single-player and local co-op, is as polished as possible by the release date.</p>

<p>The full statement reads as follows:</p>
The wait is almost over, and the team and I are so excited for you to get your hands on The Quarry in just over 2 weeks! The game will launch on June10 with local couch co-op and Movie Mode alongside the single-player campaign.
However, we’ve made the difficult decision to delay the online multiplayer mode to deliver the best possible experience for you. It’s not a long wait though – online multiplayer will be added via an update by July 8th.
We appreciate your understanding and hope you’re just as excited as we are for launch in just 15 days!
<p>While a bummer, one would assume Supermassive’s other option was to delay The Quarry entirely, and it chose what it deemed the lesser of two evils. The game stars a group of teenage summer camp counselors who find themselves hunted by dangerous locals and another mysterious threat. Like Until Dawn and the Dark Pictures Anthology, players are presented with a myriad of choices that cause the story to branch in several ways – so much so that The Quarry apparently has <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/04/28/the-quarry-supermassive-games-reveals-it-has-186-different-endings">186 unique endings</a>. The Quarry stars an ensemble cast that features David Arquette, Lin Shaye, Ted Raimi, Ariel Winter, Brenda Song, Justice Smith, and others. </p>
<p>The Quarry will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Supermassive recently released footage of the game’s first 30 minutes that you can watch <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/04/05/supermassive-games-releases-first-30-minutes-of-gameplay-from-the-quarry">here</a>.
