The Battlefield-like 32-player VR FPS Forefront just got a major update – alongside a price increase.
The popular 32-player Battlefield-inspired VR FPS Forefront, has received an update today, along with a price increase. The update (v0.23.141) brings a brand-new conquest map, a new APC vehicle, plus balancing tweaks and bug fixes.
The new map, Oasis, is desert themed. Players will battle on sand dunes, dodging bullets between lush riverside palm trees and derelict mining facilities. The new APC vehicle is made for transporting troops and for light assault actions.
Alongside this update comes a price hike. The previous price of $22.99 has risen to $24.99. Forefront is currently available on Meta Quest, Steam, and Pico.
Since launching in Early Access, Forefront has been well-supported by its makers, receiving several updates to add new maps and weapons, address balancing issues, provide graphics updates, and more.
In mid-February, Triangle Factory announced that Forefront will be coming to PlayStation VR2 sometime this year.
I previously covered Forefront and found it to be an exciting and tense take on the Battlefield formula. The game’s combat is immersive, its VR gunplay is tactile and satisfying, and its dynamic environments are well-designed. While there were certainly a few small problems in that Early Access build, mostly due to weapon balance issues, on the whole, Forefront jumped ahead of every other multiplayer shooter I’ve played in VR. Its large-scale battlefields are hard to beat.
