Metal: Hellsinger VR announced for Fall 2024 release
Metal: Hellsinger will make the jump to VR later this year.
Revealed today, Metal: Hellsinger VR will launch this fall on the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro, and PS VR 2. An announcement trailer hosted by Trivium’s Matt Heafy can be seen here.
A demo is available on Steam right now here. A description of the demo reads:
The demo features the brand-new lobby, an immersive new location from which you can select your level, music, loadout, and more. The demo features Voke and Stygia, the two first missions in the game, along with four weapons; Paz, your loyal and loquacious skull, who will also sear your enemies with fiery bolts; Terminus, a wickedly agile sword; The Hounds, a set of demonic twin pistols; and Persephone, a shotgun with a thunderous bark to match both its bite and the beat.
All the weapons can be aimed freely in full VR. Shoot to the beat and – if you have a free hand – show your enemy the sign of the horns before you blast them away. Just like in the original game, each weapon has its own powerful ultimate that unleashes havoc on the enemy, such as the double-time tempo slashes of Terminus, or the stunning lightning strike of Paz.
Released in 2022, Metal: Hellsinger VR features an original soundtrack with guest vocalists Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Tatiana Shmailyuk (Jinjer), Matt Heafy (Trivium), James Dorton (Black Crown Initiate), Björn "Speed" Strid (Soilwork), Randy Blythe (Lamb of God), Dennis Lyxzén (Refused and INVSN), Will Ramos (Lorna Shore), Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil), Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum), Joe Badolato (Fit for an Autopsy), and Serj Tankian (System of a Down).
