Impact Inked and Flat2VR Studios have surprise-launched Mothergunship: Forge for PlayStation VR2, the latest title in their ongoing initiative to bring established VR games to PlayStation’s headset.
Revealed by popular PlayStation-centric YouTuber Ryan Biniecki (aka MysticRyan) during today’s Let’s Talk PlayStation on YouTube, Mothergunship: Forge is the second game so far revealed in Flat2VR Studios’ and Impact Inked’s “Unlock the Vault” publishing initiative, which aims to bring a series of new titles to PlayStation’s VR headset.
Flat2VR Studios’ and Impact Inked’s Unlock The Vault was initially revealed in August via a video in which Flat2VR Studios’ Myles Dyer introduced several PlayStation personalities who will “unlock the vault” and announce the games.
The first vault was unlocked by Jamie Feltham, who revealed Drop Dead: The Cabin. Now that we’ve seen Ryan Biniecki’s reveal, we’ll have to wait to see what games are announced by former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida, and the PlayStation-focused YouTubers Rob Pearson (PlayStation Access) and Bryan Paul (WithoutParole).
The game recently received its first major update in over three years on Quest. The update upgraded the game’s engine from Unreal 4 to Unreal 5.7, added two new modes including daily runs, added optional hand tracking controls, and what the developers call “a ton of polishing, balancing fixes, bug fixes, and connecting issue fixes that we’ve been wanting to tackle over the last couple of years.”
The PlayStation VR2 version includes the full game, “years of additional content,” plus the game’s latest Daily Run update. The port to PS VR2 takes advantage of the platform’s hardware, too, running at a native 120 FPS without reprojection, utilizing eye-tracked dynamic foveated rendering, and including headset haptics and adaptive trigger feedback.
