Earlier today, Sony announced a handful of games on the way to the PlayStation VR2.
Posting these announcements on both the PlayStation Blog and the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Sony shared new details on six games that will be playable on its headset. With release dates varying from next month to next year, here's a roundup of the six VR games Sony highlighted that are coming to PS VR2 soon.
Among Us
PlayStation's first announcement was that Among US VR will arrive on PS VR2. Though no release date was announced, the news is great for PS VR2 fans, as it was released on Meta Quest and Steam VR headsets nearly a year ago; it seemed only a matter of time before Schell Games released a PS VR port.
Journey to Foundation
Inspired by the Foundation novel series by the late American author Isaac Asimov, Journey to Foundation is an upcoming VR sci-fi RPG where players will explore uncharted regions of outer space. Players assume the role of an agent for a shadowy organization and become involved in a battle for "control of all humanity."
The game was actually revealed in February, but today's announcement revealed that Journey to Foundation arrives on PS VR2 (plus Meta Quest) on Oct. 26.
Heroes of Forever
Lucky Mountain Games, the developers behind Hotshot Racing, are making a new fast-paced arcade shooter, Heroes of Forever. In Heroes of Forever, players will jump through various dimensions and timelines to stop as many bad guys as possible and maintain order in the multiverse.
Heroes of Forever is slated to release sometime next year.
Tin Hearts
Tin Hearts is a puzzle game that originally released earlier this year as a non-VR game for PS4 and PS5. After demands from the VR community, developer Rogue Sun announced today that it was releasing a PS VR2 version of the game.
Set in the Victorian era, players control Albert Butterworth, a toy maker, with gameplay akin to the 1991 Amiga game Lemmings. While no release date was revealed, a demo for Tin Hearts is out on November 2.
Tiger Blade
A slash-and-dash arcade game originally announced back in June, Tiger Blade developer Ikimasho Games announced that its next project is out on Nov. 17, exclusively for the PlayStation VR2.
Inspired by Korean neo-noir action cinema, Tiger Blade combined fast-paced sword combat with gunplay. The game's trailers remind me a lot of the 1999 PlayStation 1 game Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, where the titular character also dual-wielded a katana and a pistol.
The Foglands
An anti-Western rougelite, The Foglanss is a new action game coming to PS VR2 on Oct. 31. The Foglands has players control Jim as you venture into parts unknown to fight monsters, collect loot, and make your way back before the fog swallows you.
