Special Forces VR: for Oculus Rift & HTC Vive in December

The Special Forces VR multiplayer shooter from the developer studio VR Visio will appear in December for Oculus Rift & HTC Vive. A version for Playstation VR is also under development. With high-end graphics and dynamic movement system, the game brings a breath of fresh air into the classic military-vs-terrorists genre.

Special Forces VR will play quite similar to games like Counter-Strike and Rainbow Six, which is not about spraying bullets all over the place, but about learning the map and apply tactical thinking with your teammates in order to succeed. In the game two teams, one the military special forces and the second are, not surprisingly, the terrorists, are pitched against each other in different game modes like rescuing hostages, neutralizing a bomb and more complex scenarios that will require the team to coordinate, understanding the environment and perfectly execute their tactical moves in order to win a match. There is also a deathmatch mode that will be the one that will focus on the eSport aspect of the game. The game will also offer co-op only game modes where you fight alongside your buddies against AI enemies.

Compatible with PSVR Aim Controller & Oculus Touch

The tactical shooter will be compatible with numerous VR accessories, including Oculus Touch and VR gloves and suits. The great thing about this title it is support for a wide range of VR gear like the PlayStation Aim gun controller, haptic suits and more.

Unlike other VR multiplayer shooters where you are teleporting, Special Forces VR relies on Free Locomotion, a free, fluid movement (see the Military Shooter Onward). Oculus Rift, HTC Vive & PSVR owners can join the battle, because the tactics shooter supports cross-platform play.

Will appear later also for PlayStation VR

Currently a Closed Beta for Special Forces VR takes place. The feedback of the testers is to be incorporated into the development even before publication of the multiplayer shooter. More information about Special Forces VR can be found in the following Behind-The-Scenes video.

Special Forces VR appears two days before Christmas Eve, on December 22nd, on Steam for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The PSVR version has not got a release date yet.
