The biggest announcements at the Meta Quest games showcase
Meta hosted its 2022 games showcase, which was filled with games that you can expect to play on your Quest 2 virtual reality headset at some point this year. Last year’s surprise announcement was the VR port of Resident Evil 4 (which turned out to be far better than expected), but several standout titles seem like they’ll be must-play experiences when they launch. In case you missed out on the showcase, we’ve rounded up the biggest announcements below.
The showcase ended with Mark Zuckerberg revealing that a Ghostbusters VR game is in the works for the Quest 2. There aren’t many details (and it’s still in development under a working title) but the game will have players running their own Ghostbusters headquarters in San Francisco. “Track, blast, and trap ghosts in gripping encounters by wielding iconic equipment,” the official description reads. No word on a release date.
The Mercenaries mode has been released by Armature Studio and is a free update for anyone who purchases Resident Evil 4 on the Oculus Store. It’s a time-based challenge mode where you aim to survive and rack up the biggest score possible. This version of the game features online leaderboards, 20 new challenges, and new unlocks including big head mode, a black-and-white visual effect, and golden gun skins that you can also use in the campaign.
InnerSloth, Robot Teddy, and Schell Games announced that the VR version of Among Us is going to release by the end of 2022. There was also a new trailer shared for the VR adaptation of the hit game. In addition to completing this title, Schell Games, which also developed hit VR titles like I Expect You To Die, announced that it’s working on three more projects with the Meta Studios teams.
