The fast-paced shoot ’em up is coming to Meta Quest and SteamVR on June 4. <\/p>\n
Rhino Rock Studios has announced that its sci-fi arcade shmup Outblast is set to release on June 4, 2026. The game promises a high-speed, neon-soaked fight for survival that can be experienced either in full VR via Meta’s Quest headsets<\/a> and Steam VR<\/a>, or in flat-screen mode, giving players the choice between full immersion and traditional play. <\/p>\n The game places you in the cockpit of C11-28, humanity’s last line of defense against a rogue viral intelligence known as Typhon. Corruption is spreading across Perseon-6, and your job is to shoot enemies and save the planet from collapse. <\/p>\n While shmups haven’t enjoyed mainstream popularity since the days of 16-bit consoles, recent games like Sektori have begun to break out of their niche and reach new audiences. We’ll have a full review of Outblast closer to release, and see if it captures the magic of the greatest shmups. <\/p>\n Outblast will launch into action on June 4, 2026 on Meta Quest<\/a> and Steam VR<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fast-paced shoot ’em up is coming to Meta Quest and SteamVR on June 4.
