During the showcase Upload VR of the last few hours was also presented In Death: Unchained, the new VR title of Superbright, a development studio that includes within its team people who have worked on the likes of Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light and Dead Island. The title, of which a short teaser trailer was shown, will be a VR shooter with medieval tones, embellished with some elements typical of rogue-like titles, and will take players directly to hell, purgatory and heaven, where they will find themselves armed of arc to face a wide variety of enemies, including demons and bizarre angelic creatures.
In Death: Unchained takes the classic rogue-like experience and places it in the highly responsive and engaging world of virtual reality, which thanks to procedural generation randomizes the map layout, the different enemy spawn points and the positions of the rewards, while the game-based modifiers already made ensure that each new attempt by the player is different from the previous one. Through the upgrade of the bow, players will have the opportunity to unlock and use a wide variety of special arrows obtained by looting monsters or exploring the various areas of the game.
The title has been designed to make full use of all the features of Oculus Quest and to be able to fully exploit the VR experience, without necessarily using a PC. Movement, aiming, shooting, dodging incoming fire, use of the environment for cover, head and arm tracking, all are optimized and fine-tuned to take full advantage of the freedom offered by the platform. In Death: Unchained will be launched at July 2020 and is the first exclusive title created by Superbright exclusive Oculus Quest.
