Meta is placing on its Quest Gaming Showcase in June, and whereas we’re not sure what standalone goodies the corporate has in retailer, a promo video appears to counsel we’ll be getting one thing from the universe of hit Rift unique Asgard’s Wrath (2019).
We are saying ‘universe’ and never ‘direct port’ as a result of we merely can’t inform for now based mostly on the few seconds of footage, which appears to indicate Loki’s helmet with what seems to be a shadowy god-like determine within the background.
What suggests the promo might not be a flat-out Rift to Quest port is the desert atmosphere. In case you’ve performed Asgard’s Wrath on Rift, chances are you’ll bear in mind some post-credits sequel bait, the place you discover an Egyptian ankh that implies a follow-up will happen in an Egyptian-inspired atmosphere.
Meta largely deserted PC VR gaming virtually instantly after releasing Rift S and Asgard’s Wrath in 2019 nevertheless, afterwards devoting its clutch of VR gaming studios to supply content material for Quest and placing the kibosh on a direct-to-Rift sequel within the course of. Perhaps the subsequent within the sequence will reside on as a Quest native from the get-go?
It will actually make extra sense than Meta’s Sanzaru Video games going again and utterly overhauling the unique Asgard’s Wrath for Quest, though we haven’t heard something from the studio because it was acquired by Meta in early 2020. It’s not inconceivable that the unique and a sequel could possibly be within the works for Quest.
In the meantime, we’ll be ready to listen to concerning the different rash of long-promised Quest content material but to come back, together with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Murderer’s Creed Nexus, and Vertigo Video games’ upcoming work with Deep Silver’s IP, which could possibly be something from Metro to Useless Island.
Following together with us on June at at 10 AM PT to search out out, as Meta is slated to share over 40 minutes of content material, together with new recreation bulletins, gameplay first-looks, updates to present video games, and extra.
