FRENZIES will be playable for free in early access, and the PvP VR shooter launches this week on Quest.
Previously announced in July, FRENZIES by Near Light is a "neon-drenched" FPS that aims to build upon the gunplay seen in Fracked and Synapse but in a multiplayer setting. Following a previous trailer at the VR Games Showcase that highlighted various gameplay modes, nDreams announced the early access launch will commence on October 10.
Taking inspiration from Quake and Unreal Tournament, FRENZIES promises a "chaotic lucky dip" blend of both traditional and unconventional multiplayer game modes across a five-round match, such as 'Medic,' 'Red Light, Green Light,' and 'Glitter Pig.' You can play solo or in teams, matches support up to 12 players, and nDreams states content will "regularly" get switched during early access.
FRENZIES enters early access on October 10 on the Meta Quest platform, though it's unknown if it will remain free to play come full release. While early access is Quest only, the full release is also planned for PlayStation VR2.
