A new wave of new PlayStation VR games is ready to arrive later this year and Sony has detailed all of them, along with giving us their trailers. Headlining the lineup is Doom 3 VR Edition, which is scheduled to arrive as early as March 29. Another is the sequel to I Expect You to Die, while all the remaining games are new IPs.
Doom 3 VR Edition, as its name suggests, is an enhanced VR version of the 2004 classic. New textures and sound effects will be added to the game, along with support for the PlayStation VR’s Aim accessory. It will arrive on the above-mentioned date for the PS4 and PS5.
After the Fall is a zombie VR shooter that had already been announced but has now been blessed with a new trailer. It was supposed to be launched last year for PC-based VR headsets as well as the PS4, but will now be released sometime in early 2021. It’s a co-op FPS set in the post-apocalyptic remains of an alternate 1980s LA.
The next game, Fracked, is set in a mountain fracking facility overrun with armed inter-dimensional creatures. Coming from the makers of Phantom: Covert Ops, it includes fast-paced shooting gameplay that’s complemented by activities like skiing, climbing, base jumping, and zip-lining.
Zenith: The Last City is being described as a JRPG-inspired MMO featuring dungeons, big boss fights, and such activities as climbing, gliding, blocking, and dodging. Equipped with anime-like graphics, it is slated to arrive sometime in 2021.
I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and the Liar is the sequel to I Expect You To Die, which was incredibly well-received back in 2016. The game was earlier announced only for PC but has now been expanded to support the PlayStation VR.
And then there is Song in the Smoke, a survival game that takes place in a mysterious world where players are needed to craft, hunt, scavenge, and explore. No release date has been announced for this one as well, but Sony says it will indeed arrive in 2021.
Recently, Sony also announced that a next-gen PlayStation VR headset is on its way for the PS5. It will feature a simplified design and a single cord solution for connecting to the console. However, it will not be released in 2021.
