Originally developed by 3D Realms and powered by the Quake engine, Wrath: Aeon of Ruin is a first-person shooter that draws inspiration from classic titles like Doom and Hexen. The game is set in a dark, decaying world where players must navigate through non-linear levels filled with ancient horrors and deadly traps. The VR adaptation aims to capture the intense atmosphere and brutal combat of the original while leveraging the immersive capabilities of virtual reality.

The transition to VR has been made possible through the collaboration between Team Beef and Flat2VR Studios. The partnership with Flat2VR Studios has allowed Team Beef to go beyond a simple port, incorporating asset alterations and new features that make Wrath: Aeon of Ruin feel like a game designed specifically for VR.

In a show of appreciation, Team Beef has announced that all mid-tier patrons who supported the project from its inception on September 22, 2022, until the announcement on August 15, 2024, will receive a free copy of the VR version upon its launch. This gesture acknowledges the vital role that the community played in bringing the project to fruition.

Further details on how patrons can redeem their copies will be shared closer to the launch date. Additionally, there may be opportunities for beta testing, allowing dedicated fans to contribute further to the development process.

The announcement coincides with the VR Games Showcase, where Flat2VR Studios is highlighting its latest VR adaptations. Team Beef encourages fans to check out the showcase to see the cutting-edge work being done in the VR gaming space.

This release marks a new chapter for Team Beef, and the team is optimistic about the future, with plans to bring more classic games to VR in collaboration with Flat2VR Studios. The VR gaming community can look forward to more exciting announcements in the near future.

In this rogue-lite endless dungeon mode, players will traverse through procedurally generated dungeons where they can test their agility, encounter traps, battle adversaries, and discover treasures. The Uncharted Rifts stands as a unique selling point of the game as it fosters player interaction through asynchronous multiplayer functionalities; players have the options to either aid their friends during their dungeon runs or challenge them in a battle setting.

The developers have touted a substantial campaign for Asgard’s Wrath 2, indicating that the gameplay can span up to 60 hours, combining intensive combat sessions and endless dungeon-crawling experiences. The title is set to be exclusively available on Meta Quest headsets this winter.

As a pre-order incentive, Meta is offering exclusive in-game weapon and armor sets, along with a complimentary digital copy of the original Asgard’s Wrath for PC VR. Additional details regarding the pre-order can be found on the official game website.
