We had been anticipating a few information approximately VR gaming these days at Facebook Connect 2021, and that’s exactly what we got. Facebook made numerous bulletins concerning video games which are heading to Oculus VR, and even as we won’t assume a ton from a phase that frequently nevertheless seems like it’s simply getting going, there had been really surprises. If you’re a GTA or Beat Saber fan, then you’ll need to take note of these days’s bulletins.
That’s due to the fact main Facebook’s bulletins turned into the screen of a VR model of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Sadly, we didn’t get to peer any gameplay photos or maybe any screenshots; Facebook simply says that this recreation is in improvement at Rockstar for the Quest 2, and that the mission is “a few years withinside the making.” We’re going to need to look ahead to some thing extra significant than that, aleven though.
Beat Saber turned into additionally at the docket these days, aleven though unfortunately, specifics are narrow there too. After searching lower back on 2021, Beat Games teased that it has “an superb lineup of artists for 2022.” The employer additionally stated that it has one extra assertion coming earlier than the quit of the 12 months and teased that assertion with the trailer you notice above. All we see withinside the trailer is a unique-searching saber with the words “Level Up!” so if you’re a Beat Saber player, take that as you will.
Facebook additionally shared a group of updates on different video games and developers, revealing that it’s partnering with Vertigo Games for 5 new titles. We don’t recognise what the ones video games are, however one in every of them may be set in a “fan-favorite” recreation international from Deep Silver. In addition, the employer introduced that Blade & Sorcery: Nomad, to be able to be heading to Quest 2 later this 12 months.
Blade & Sorcery: Nomad doesn’t appear to be a sequel to the unique recreation – which released for Oculus Rift in 2019 – however instead a standalone launch for the Quest specifically. However, the concept will nevertheless be to offer a sandbox for gamers to test with diverse forms of first-character combat, whether or not that’s melee with guns like swords and axes, ranged with bows, or sorcery with magic. There’s been no precise launch date introduced yet, however Blade & Sorcery: Nomad must be right here by the point we near the ee-e book on 2021.
Facebook – or, we must say, Meta – additionally introduced a health accent package for Oculus Quest these days. The health package is easy and simple, because it consists of grips for the controllers to preserve them from flying throughout the room (now no longer absolutely not like the strap on a Wii far off or Switch Joy-Con, aleven though now no longer precisely the same) and a face pad that’s clean to wipe down after a workout. We’ll see that release later someday subsequent 12 months.
