The brand new platform releases observe the VR recreation’s debut on the Meta Quest and Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional. Devs Brian Gibson and Mike Mandel, collaborating below the moniker Puddle, introduced the brand new {hardware} additions in a fittingly surreal trailer as we speak.

Each Gibson and Mandel have a historical past making music- and audio-driven interactive experiences. Mandel labored on Fuser, Rock Band VR and Fantasia: Music Advanced. Gibson’s earlier challenge was the VR title Thumper, which payments itself with the tagline “a rhythm violence recreation.” (Think about Tetris Impact if it was stuffed with aggression relatively than transcendent pleasure. However in a very, actually great way.)

Thrasher follows their present legacy of immersive and unsettling video games with its unusual idea of a cosmic eel doing battle in opposition to an area child, all set to a throbbing soundtrack. The addition of a non-virtual actuality choice is an thrilling improvement for followers of the title, and it needs to be attention-grabbing to see how properly the pair adapts their VR management scheme to gamepads and mouse/keyboard setups.
