PlayStation VR, or PS VR, is getting a number of new games to be announced later this year. Sony has announced that six games will be coming to PS VR – Doom 3: VR Edition, Fracked, Song in the Smoke, After the Fall, I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy And The Liar, and Zenith: The Last City – The Break. All the games will be available for PlayStation 5 but only a few are expected to be released on PlayStation 4 as well. Sony announced in February 2021 that they are working on a new VR headset for the Playstation 5 but it will not be released in 2021.
The news, made on the PlayStation blog yesterday, commented on the release of the announcement. Most of these games are being released on the promise of a better gaming experience, when Sony launches the next generation PSVR headset sometime in the future.
Doom 3: VR Editing
Doom 3 VR is the only game that has a specific release date – March 29. This is one of only two games on the list that will be available for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 with backwards compatibility. The game is a remake variant of the eponymous 2004 shoot ’em up title and is designed by the Gun-like Goal controller.
Fracked
Fracked is a run-and-cover shooter that will be available on both PS5 and PS4 but will have the best frame and resolution levels for the latest generation. It is developed by nDreams, who also developed the Phantom kayak-based shooter: Covert Ops. Following a similar theme, Fracked is centered around a ski and infiltrating fracking plant turned over by fruitless mercenaries. Slate is to be released in the summer.
A song in the mist
Song in the Smoke, developed by 17-Bit, is a survival game that tests your abilities to hunt, scream, craft, and explore the world of mystery in which the game is set. The game allows you to exercise your human instincts in a virtual world, where you make the decision to fight or fly. Song in the Smoke is expected to be released later this year.
After the fall
After the Fall is a post-apocalyptic survival co-op game developed by Vertigo Games. This is one of the few games that will have a cross-platform multiplayer mode for up to four players, or you can play on your own with AI companions. The game is expected to hit the shelves this summer.
I expect you to die 2: The traitor and the liar
I expect you to die 2: The Spy And The Liar is a spy spy where one can stay out of James Bond fashion to some degree. Developed by Schell games, it is one of the most sought after games to have a sequel since the first spy action title was released in 2016.
Zenith: The Last City – The Break
Zenith: The Last City – The Fracture is an anime RPG based MMO game developed by RamenVR that allows gamers to climb buildings and cliffs. Players can even move around to reach distant locations, fight enemies, or just explore the vast world of Zenith. There was no word on when the game would be released.
