Today we're excited to highlight six titles coming to PS VR2, which will offer players multiplayer combat, rhythm-based celebration, puzzle-style squads, and a murder mystery. Without further ado, let's start with the Fantavision 202X presentation.
Fantavision 202X
Developer : Cosmo Machia Inc.
Publisher: Cosmo Machia Inc.
Release date: February 22, 2023
Originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2000, Fantavision is a puzzle game based on a fireworks theme. The game returns in a new PS VR2 title powered by the Unreal Engine. The game is an artistic blend of action, shooting, strategy and puzzles. The PS VR2 headset and PS VR2 Sense controller give you an immersive experience by filling the starry sky with brilliant fireworks. With simple yet addictive gameplay, it won't take you long to master the controls.
The main objective of the game is to collect at least three fireworks of the same color and launch them into the night sky. You can also catch fireworks of different colors at the same time with Wild Fireworks and shoot them with Daisy Chain, which matches many colors, and collect items to start the bonus Starmine mode. On PS VR2, you can capture fireworks by aiming at them, holding down the trigger, and shooting them with the circle button.
Apart from the single player mode, a replay mode is also available. You can change the camera angle for great playback, freeze time to enjoy the view, add different effects and more. You can also feel the vibration of the fireworks via haptic feedback, so you can fully absorb the beautiful fireworks display.
Altair's Destroyer
Developer : Thirdverse
Publisher: Thirdverse
Release date: February 22, 2023
This multiplayer sword fighting game comes to PS VR2 in the form of Altair Breaker. The virtual world generated by Altair's artificial intelligence was once a beautiful archipelago shrouded in a sea of clouds. Now it remains a floating island, surrounded by its ruined brethren. In its ruins roam an experimental AI-led battle with the fully autonomous weapon Laws-Zero. In this dangerous place you have to travel and face these evil creatures up close.
You are not badly equipped and you are not alone. Join up to three other players to take on these killing machines and explore the world together. Glide across the sky and scale walls as you traverse the island, then charge into battle using 360-degree action and vertical space to your advantage. Perform air combos, AOE attacks, use special abilities and more. Dodge or block blows with your shield, then split your opponent in half with a well-timed sword strike.
story of onogoro
Developer : Amata KK
Publisher: Amata KK
Release date: February 22, 2023
Amata KK, the creators of the Last Maze escape adventure, is back with an exciting new co-op story. VR players are immersed in a hyper-realistic parallel world where danger and mystery await. You will be accompanied by Hal, a shrine maiden who lives on Onogoro Island. He is not alone on the island - our five deadly giants also inhabit this island. These crazed monsters must be tamed, mysteries must be solved, and Arakeda Masatake, the mastermind behind the chaos, must be stopped.
Teamwork is essential to your success. While wielding the legendary celestial weapon, capable of manipulating objects and shooting ki once absorbed, some puzzles can only be solved by Hal and others only by you. On top of that, he shares health with Hal, making it all the more important for both of them to stay out of harm's way. However, in difficult situations you can hold Hal with your bare hands to heal, so make sure you don't miss Hal's call for help.
The Tale of Onogoro infuses traditional Japanese culture with elements of steampunk, promising a unique world full of puzzles and fierce battles.

Problem: Alternate Chronos
Developer : MyDearest Inc.
Publisher: Perp Games
Release date: February 22, 2023
This virtual reality detective game offers an immersive cinematic experience and an epic story from MyDearest, creators of Tokyo Chronos and Altdeus: Beyond Chronos for PS VR. It takes place in the distant future in Astrum Close, a fishing village with a crime rate of 0.001%. In this "paradise" city, where "dreams" prevent all evil, the city's founder, Professor Rumford, dies in an accident that should never have happened. The city asked Hal Scion, who was appointed special overseer, to investigate this unusual situation. Why did they kill the professor? What happened in this beautiful city? The clock tower that has not moved for 12 years is now starting to operate again. When the last bell rang, there were only seven days left.
Playing as Hal, your main goal is to solve cases. Investigations will be carried out with Memory Dive, an ability that allows the player to reach the past by touching objects with his left hand and recovering the owner's memories. Rewards can also be changed by interfering with the owner's actions at a time when the fates are different. A useful ally to support the investigation is Lily the robot navigator, who is always with Hal and can provide unexpected clues. When you're caught up in an investigation, you can always count on Lily, who never leaves your side.
In addition to crime scenes, the field of investigation also includes a beautiful augmented dream world that integrates people's dreams, which can be viewed by accessing the network. One of the main features of this game is that you can enjoy virtual reality rooms with completely different atmospheres: the real world where accidents happen and the augmented dream world, where peace of mind is maintained. Take control of the double face ball and solve the mysterious incident.
