Meta is placing on its Quest Gaming Showcase in June, and whereas we’re not sure what standalone goodies the corporate has in retailer, a promo video appears to recommend we’ll be getting one thing from the universe of hit Rift unique Asgard’s Wrath (2019).
We are saying ‘universe’ and never ‘direct port’ as a result of we merely can’t inform for now primarily based on the few seconds of footage, which appears to point out Loki’s helmet with what seems to be a shadowy god-like determine within the background.
What suggests the promo could not be a flat-out Rift to Quest port is the desert surroundings. Should you’ve performed Asgard’s Wrath on Rift, you might bear in mind some post-credits sequel bait, the place you discover an Egyptian ankh that means a follow-up will happen in an Egyptian-inspired surroundings.
Meta largely deserted PC VR gaming nearly instantly after releasing Rift S and Asgard’s Wrath in 2019 nevertheless, afterwards devoting its clutch of VR gaming studios to supply content material for Quest and placing the kibosh on a direct-to-Rift sequel within the course of. Perhaps the subsequent within the collection will dwell on as a Quest native from the get-go?
It might actually make extra sense than Meta’s Sanzaru Video games going again and fully overhauling the unique Asgard’s Wrath for Quest, though we haven’t heard something from the studio because it was acquired by Meta in early 2020. It’s not inconceivable that the unique and a sequel could possibly be within the works for Quest.
In the meantime, we’ll be ready to listen to concerning the different rash of long-promised Quest content material but to return, together with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Murderer’s Creed Nexus, and Vertigo Video games’ upcoming work with Deep Silver’s IP, which could possibly be something from Metro to Lifeless Island.
Observe together with us on June at at 10 AM PT to search out out, as Meta is slated to share over 40 minutes of content material, together with new sport bulletins, gameplay first-looks, updates to current video games, and extra.
