The VR Games Showcase’s second anniversary event has come and gone, leaving behind a trail of exciting new game announcements that have got our community buzzing with anticipation. The show was packed with trailers, teasers, and reveals from some of the biggest names in the industry, and we’re here to break it all down for you.
First up is Total Chaos VR, a psychological survival horror experience that’s set to take players on a heart-pounding journey through the decaying ruins of Fort Oasis. Developed by Trigger Happy Interactive and published by Apogee Entertainment, this atmospheric first-person game promises to deliver a haunting blend of survival horror and immersive storytelling, with every bullet, resource, and decision mattering in your fight for survival. With its roots in the award-winning DOOM II total conversion mod, Total Chaos is shaping up to be one of the most intense VR experiences of the year.
But that’s not all – Bootstrap Island Surprises has also made its way onto our radar, dropping onto Steam VR and PS VR2 (with a slightly delayed release on PlayStation) just in time for the summer months. This Robinson Crusoe-inspired roguelike survival adventure from Maru VR puts players shipwrecked on a ruthless tropical island, where they must survive without guidance or rescue – relying on their wits to fend off wild beasts and navigate the treacherous terrain.
Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone is another standout announcement, an action-packed shooter that’s set to bring justice to the world beyond the reach of law. Developed by ANB_Seth and published by 2080 Games, this game promises high-octane VR gameplay alongside its non-VR counterpart, with players taking on ruthless forces as a professional hitman. With the option to play in both VR and non-VR modes, Gunman Contracts is set to be one of the most versatile shooters out there.
Tiny Flock, the latest puzzle game from No Brakes Games (the developers behind Human: Fall Flat), has also been announced – and it’s a real treat for fans of physics-based gameplay. In this adorable VR puzzler, players guide their wayward sheep through beautiful hand-crafted diorama puzzles using the environment to guide them to safety. With its focus on exploration and creativity, Tiny Flock is shaping up to be one of the most charming puzzle games of the year.
But what’s perhaps most exciting about these announcements is the sheer diversity of genres and styles represented – from horror to action-adventure to puzzle gameplay, there’s something for every kind of VR enthusiast out there. And with releases scheduled for everything from Meta Quest to SteamVR to PlayStation VR2, it seems like we’re in for a long summer of new game releases.
As we move forward into the world of VR and XR, one thing is clear: the future is bright – and full of terrifying terrors, high-octane action, and adorable sheep. With these announcements setting the stage for what promises to be an incredible year of VR gaming, we can’t wait to dive in and see what other surprises are in store for us.
