Fun Train confirmed that BlackGate, its upcoming asymmetric multiplayer horror game, is now up for pre-order on Meta Quest.
Announced via the BlackGate X profile, the 4v1 sci-fi title is targeting an early October 2 release window for a public Early Access beta release. The release will be available for all Quest 2 headsets and Quest Pro, as well as the current-generation Quest headsets. A closed alpha testing period had been underway before this announcement.
BlackGate’s premise is a surprising mixture of two mid-2010s games brought to VR. The most obvious comparison would be Among Us with the playable engineers repairing a space station. There are no voting or disguises here. Instead, the emphasis is on direct combat in zero gravity. Like in Evolve, an alien’s powers grow over time. From a small killer manta to a creature resembling mindflayer, they can become more powerful. Engineers can also find heavy weapons in the middle of a match to help them defend themselves. They also have interconnecting suits that can link together or with machinery that needs repairing.
Fun Train is incentivizing early adopters on Quest with both a discounted pre-order price of $9.99 USD and a Founder’s Pack bundled with pre-orders. The pack is exclusive to the pre-order period and will not be available post-launch, according to Fun Train.
. In-app purchases are not yet confirmed for Early Access, but we will know more soon. The Founder’s Pack includes three cosmetic skins, adding a purple-black color scheme to a player’s appearance, as shown in the X store page.postWith pricing, Fun Train founder Douglas Nabors addressed this directly in a press release. Nabors says, “We are aware that this is a low-priced game. We were warned against this decision by some. But we made it intentionally. BlackGate is a multiplayer-first experience, and we want to bring as many players into the world when Early Access begins on October 2nd. But we made this decision intentionally — BlackGate is a multiplayer-first experience, and we want to bring as many players into the world as possible when Early Access begins on October 2nd.”
Upon reaching Early Access, BlackGate’s price will go up to $14.99, followed by a further increase to the full price of $19.99 upon exiting Early Access.
Nabors also adds in the press release that BlackGate has “already passed 10,000 wishlists, and the enthusiasm around this project has been incredible.”
The game is targeting a
release for the future, but a launch date currently remains “to be announced”. There are some more gameplay videos on the Steam page of BlackGate for anyone interested. The title supports roomscale gameplay alongside playing in standing and seated mode.SteamBlackGate is up for pre-order on the Quest
