VR enthusiasts, get ready for some exciting news! After a successful stint on PC VR headsets, CM Games’ survival shooter “Into the Radius 2” is finally leaving early access on Quest 3 and Quest 3S next week. On August 27th, the standalone version will bring with it a wealth of new content that was previously exclusive to SteamVR.
For those who may be unfamiliar, “Into the Radius 2” has been in development for some time now, and its early access period on PC VR has seen regular updates adding new features, zones, anomalies, equipment, and even co-op gameplay. The game’s latest update, which will also make it to Quest, brings most of the content from both 1.0 and 1.1 updates first released on SteamVR.
This means that players on Quest can expect a full campaign with a completely voiced narrative, environmental lore notes, and mysterious destructible figures throughout the zone. The update also includes more night ops thanks to the inclusion of night vision devices, flares, thick exploration fog, and new anomaly types. Gamers will be able to wield an array of new weapons, including the G3 rifle, MP5 SMG, GP-34 underbarrel launcher, and a wide range of hand grenades.
The update also includes some notable additions to the game’s audio and visual design, with completely voiced narrative and lore notes adding depth to the game world. However, it’s worth noting that co-op gameplay on Quest has been capped at two players due to technical limitations – a trade-off for the added features and content.
For those eager to dive in, “Into the Radius 2” is currently available on the Horizon Store for Quest 3/3S at a discounted price of $28, down from its MSRP of $40. This is a great opportunity to experience one of the most immersive VR shooters out there without breaking the bank.
The launch of “Into the Radius 2” marks an exciting milestone in the evolution of VR gaming on Quest. With more and more AAA titles making their way to standalone headsets, it’s clear that VR has reached new heights in terms of accessibility and affordability. As we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible with VR technology, it’s games like “Into the Radius 2” that showcase its potential for immersive storytelling and engaging gameplay.
As we look ahead to the future of VR gaming, one thing is clear: the possibilities are endless. With more developers than ever before experimenting with cutting-edge tech, we can expect even more innovative experiences in the coming months. Whether you’re a seasoned VR pro or just starting out, there’s never been a better time to explore the world of virtual reality. Get ready for some thrilling adventures on Quest and beyond!
