Get ready because the VR Games Showcase is making its return this March, promising what they’re calling the “biggest lineup yet” of XR games. Even though details are a bit scarce right now, particularly the exact date of the online gathering, the organizers have assured us via social media that more updates are coming soon.
Historically, these VR Games Showcases have kept us on the edge of our seats, and this year is likely no different. We’ll soon get more insight into which studios are joining the event, which will give us hints about the offerings. Expect a strong focus on Quest titles, but don’t rule out the excitement for PSVR 2 and PC VR games either.
Looking back at last year, the VR Games Showcase was a treasure trove of announcements and game updates. We saw gameplay reveals of highly anticipated titles like HITMAN III: Reloaded, a remake of Vertigo Games’ Arizona Sunshine, Fast Travel Games’ Action Hero, and a thrilling trailer for the survival game GRIM. It was an eventful day with seven studios unveiling more than 15 titles.
Not long after, the livestreamed event expanded with an ‘XR Indies and Friends’ showcase. This segment brought us fresh details on Innerspace VR’s intriguing One True Path, an adventure into Cyborn’s MR world with Wall Town Wonders, a Kafka-inspired VR adaptation of Ovid Works’ Metamorphosis, and gameplay from Just Add Water’s arcade-esque DIG VR.
As we wait for the big day in March, keep your eyes peeled on the VR Games Showcase YouTube channel, where the event will be live-streamed, for any exciting hints or announcements leading up to the main event.
