More On: Space Ops VR

After games like Onward and Pavlov, there really aren't a ton of multiplayer shooters out there for VR. I think there's something about the immersive-ness of VR that tends to slow the experience down which doesn't really translate well to the frantic pace of most multiplayer. Space Ops VR hopes to hit that sweet spot between the two, and will attempt to do so by throwing you into the future to fight for resources solo, co-op, or head to head. The highlights from the press release.

  • Extended PvP mechanics: 1v1 duels or 2v2 team battles

  • Advanced skill-based matchmaking

  • Highly competitive PvE modes, including SKIRMISH and TRIALS

  • Basic training and SANDBOX mode for the beginners

  • Unique futuristic weapons, with different damage types such as Kinetic, Beam, and Plasma.

  • Tons of grenades and gadgets to send your foes flying and make the enemies wet themselves

  • Customizable characters

  • Unique teleportation system to help you save your soul - or doom you - depending on the decisions you make

Space Ops VR will release in May for Vive, Rift, and Windows MR. Although an exact date hasn't been pinned down yet, you can always add it to your Steam wishlist. Press release is after the Read More link below.

Moscow, Russia, April 24, 2019 - International leading Virtual Reality content publisher FIBRUM has announced today that their immersive multiplayer VR sci-fi shooter Space Ops VR will launch through Steam in May and support a variety of virtual reality systems including Oculus, Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.

In Space Ops VR the year is 2301 and humanity has taken to deep space in the search for valuable resources to solve Earth’s energy crises. To that end, the Space Ops were formed as an elite cadre of first-responders ready to take on any task the galaxy can throw at them. As an enlistee, the player is tasked with familiarizing themselves with the arsenal and tactics of the Space Ops. This includes their array of specialist weaponry as well as the unique tactical teleport tool that helps them evade their foes. Rigorous training exercises packed with tough alien foes will put the Space Ops skills to the test. Players can complete these courses solo, cooperatively, or race head-to-head to get the highest score on global leaderboards.

"We are very proud to present Space Ops VR to the virtual reality gaming community. We want players to experience a new kind of intense combat on VR platforms that can be enjoyed as a multiplayer cooperative challenge and a hardcore competitive game, complete with ranked matchmaking," says Pidlisnyy Yevgeniy, CEO at DEVCUBE STUDIO.

Space Ops announcement comes with a brand new teaser trailer, available here.
