Virtual Hunter set to launch on PS VR2 on May 27
Virtual Hunter, a new hunting simulation game, will launch on PlayStation VR2 on May 27. The game offers an immersive hunting experience with realistic mechanics and a vast open world.
Jesse Passoja, the lead designer at Korpi Games, has announced the upcoming release of Virtual Hunter on PlayStation VR2, scheduled for May 27. This virtual reality game aims to bring an immersive hunting experience to players, a genre that has been notably absent in the VR space until now.
Passoja and his team have poured years of passion and expertise into crafting Virtual Hunter, striving to create the best hunting simulation available. The game offers realistic hunting mechanics, true-to-life weapon ballistics, and a vast open world with dynamic weather and a day/night cycle. It features meticulously designed animals that mirror their real-world counterparts, providing players with a truly authentic experience.
Virtual Hunter emphasizes player freedom, allowing gamers to choose their approach to hunting. Whether opting for a strategic vantage point or a leisurely hike, each hunt offers a unique experience with a fresh spawn of animals every time. The game also includes three difficulty settings, catering to different player preferences and affecting animal behavior and rewards.
In addition to the hunting experience, players can enjoy a trophy lodge where they can display their achievements. The lodge includes a shooting range and a 3D archery course, providing opportunities to refine shooting skills. The trophy lodge serves as a personalized narrative space, reflecting each player’s virtual hunting journey.
The PS VR2 version of Virtual Hunter takes advantage of the platform’s unique features. Jaakko Asikainen, CTO at VRKiwi, highlights the implementation of adaptive triggers and headset haptics to enhance realism. These features allow players to feel environmental interactions and experience weapon handling with a new level of immersion.
Virtual Hunter represents a significant achievement for Korpi Games, accomplished with a small team and limited resources. The developers are eager for players to experience the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of mastering new skills. The game encourages patience and exploration, promising a rewarding experience for VR enthusiasts.
The release of Virtual Hunter on PS VR2 is anticipated to be a milestone for hunting simulations in virtual reality, offering players a chance to engage in an immersive and rewarding hunting experience. The developers invite feedback and look forward to hearing about players’ adventures in the game.
