Metal: Hellsinger VR will receive a slightly staggered launch, bringing the heavy metal rhythm FPS to Quest next month.
Developed by The Outsiders, Metal: Hellsinger VR is being reimagined for virtual reality in collaboration with Lab42 Games, containing everything from the original game and "many" post-launch features. Previously featured in June's UploadVR Summer Showcase, a new trailer confirmed its launching on Quest next month, followed by Steam and PlayStation VR2 in October.
Publisher Funcom also revealed the Dream of the Beast DLC, and that expands the soundtrack with two new songs by Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) and Will Ramos (Lorna Shore). This DLC also contains the Red Right Hand, offering "an impossible weapon which fires in rhythmic bursts," and three outfits with passive effects like increased maximum ammo.
The Metal: Hellsinger VR Steam demo remains available, too. That includes the new lobby, where you can choose your level, music and loadout. It features the first two missions, Voke and Stygia, which includes music from Mikael Stanne of Dark Tranquility and Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy. Four different weapons can also be selected, which are outlined below.
The demo features Voke and Stygia, the two first missions in the game, along with four weapons; Paz, your loyal and loquacious skull, who will also sear your enemies with fiery bolts; Terminus, a wickedly agile sword; The Hounds, a set of demonic twin pistols; and Persephone, a shotgun with a thunderous bark to match both its bite and the beat.
Metal: Hellsinger VR reaches the Meta Quest platform on September 26, while the Steam and PlayStation VR2 versions will follow on October 3.
