In addition, our hero will use various gadgets, and his companion AIsha will finally appear on the screen! All this together creates a new, more adventurous atmosphere and the experience of taking part in a great space adventure in VR.
Is the game (too) dynamic?
Developers are making a very dynamic game in VR but moving on from Yupitergrad 1 they made changes to control motion sickness and refine the locomotion system to improve the free movement of players. During the game’s creation a great focus has been put on smoothness and stability of the player experience and due to the open map and additional features the game is more riveting than ever.
When will the title be playable?
The game is in the production phase, allowing it to be played and checked. Trial versions will be soon sent to press and influencers, where you can get a good glimpse of the game before the full release.
