VENDETTA FOREVER

The ultimate homage to classic action cinema, VENDETTA FOREVER fuses rapid-fire tactical gunplay with effortless acrobatic style. It takes everything beloved about top-tier VR action, jettisons the dull stuff, and lets players cut to the good part for 100% uncut gunplay purity.
VENDETTA FOREVER is powered by the all-new LO-KILL-MOTION system. Players shoot to kill and kill to move – dispatching foes, then acrobatically grabbing their weapon as you zip forward to progress. Rampaging through the maze-like arenas becomes a strategic dance of gunplay and improvised weaponry, with each takedown taking players closer to the finish line.
There are collectibles to discover, game-changing modifiers to try out, and online leaderboards to dominate. From raucous saloon shoot-outs to high-tech hijackings, each moment across VENDETTA FOREVER's 60+ unique levels is a chance to live your action movie power fantasy, all set to a pounding synthetic soundtrack.
VENDETTA FOREVER is coming to Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro and PlayStation VR2 in October 2024, with a free five-level demo available right now on the Meta Quest Store. The game can now be wishlisted and pre-ordered on both Meta Quest and PlayStation Stores. Players preordering on Quest will get an exclusive preorder bonus level, while PlayStation Plus subscribers get 10% off the PS VR2 version.

nDreams revealed that neon-soaked multiplayer shooter FRENZIES will be available for public, free-to-play Early Access on Meta Quest in October, following the conclusion of its Closed Alpha testing phase.

The brand new FRENZIES trailer offers a first look at a selection of these round types, including Glitter Pig, Red Light Green Light and Medic!.
FRENZIES Early Access begins on Meta Quest in October 2024 at the completion of the Closed Alpha, which is ongoing. Players eager to check out FRENZIES before October can find out more by following the game's dedicated X channel and joining the FRENZIES Discord.

It's the end of the fracking world this month, as Fracked comes to Meta Quest for the first time. First launched in 2021 for PlayStation VR, nDreams' award-winning VR shooter Fracked sees players stranded in a remote mountain facility, dodging bullets in relentless run-and-cover gunfights, and defending the planet in a final stand against a legion of interdimensional enemies.
Its sumptuous shooting proved the foundation for other nDreams titles such as Synapse and FRENZIES, and it will now be playable for the first time by the Meta Quest community.
Fracked launches on Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro on 29 August 2024.
