On February 8, 2024, the virtual reality gaming landscape will broaden with the release of Dead Hook across multiple VR platforms. Following its initial success on the Meta Quest platform, Joy Way announces the game’s upcoming availability on Steam VR, PlayStation VR 2, and Pico Neo 3/4/Pro, marking a significant expansion for the title.
Dead Hook, a game that combines elements of rogue-like adventures with the fast-paced action of FPS, draws inspiration from classic arena shooters such as Doom Eternal and Unreal Tournament. Players assume the role of Adam Stone, a multifaceted character navigating the perilous planet Resaract, embroiled in challenges of love, sacrifice, and the duality of AI.
The game distinguishes itself with unique features, including grapple hooks for dynamic movement, a combat system enriched by ragdoll physics, and procedurally generated biomes that promise a fresh experience with every playthrough. With over 80 buffs leading to numerous player builds and a progression system rooted in permanent upgrades, Dead Hook offers a deep and engaging gameplay experience.
For those on Pico platforms, the game will maintain its original Meta Quest build quality, operating at 72Hz. Meanwhile, enhancements for Steam VR and PlayStation VR 2 users will leverage the power of wired VR to deliver superior visual fidelity, including higher resolutions, advanced lighting, and improved post-processing effects, with frame rates at 90Hz and 120Hz respectively.
Set at a launch price of $19.99 USD, with regional pricing considerations, Dead Hook aims to deliver a consistent and immersive experience across all supported VR platforms, including all updates since its original debut.
