Schell Games, the studio behind the I Expect You to Die\u00a0series and Among Us VR (2022),\u00a0announced they\u2019re developing a new free-to-play online party game for Quest and PC VR headsets that\u2019s all about a high-falling game of tag.<\/p>\n

Called Project Freefall, the game pits you against seven friends as you plummet towards Earth, leaving only one parachute to scramble for.<\/p>\n

While the rules are simple (don\u2019t die), there\u2019s more than just snatching a parachute from your pals as you freefall through the clouds.<\/p>\n

Schell Games says it\u2019s tossing a load of kit your way too, including\u00a0grenades, fire extinguishers, as well as obstacles like sharks, fans, and plenty of falling structures to hide in as you escape your pursuers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the ground rushes up to meet you, the intensity skyrockets. It\u2019s a hilarious, high-skill dance of chaos where only one can claim the ultimate victory, leaving the rest to an\u2026 explosive landing,\u201d the studio says.<\/p>\n

Unlike the studio\u2019s other VR titles, Project Freefall appears to be a third-person game, which equally supports flatscreen PC and VR cross-play.<\/p>\n

Project Freefall is slated to head into \u201cearliest\u201d access soon on the Horizon Store<\/a>\u00a0for Quest 2 and above, and\u00a0on Steam<\/a>\u00a0and the Epic Games Store\u00a0<\/a>for PC and PC VR headsets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Schell Games, the studio behind the I Expect You to Die\u00a0series and Among Us VR (2022),\u00a0announced they\u2019re developing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16122,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[111,139,69,145,360,361,362],"class_list":["post-16121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-virtual-reality","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology","tag-virtual-reality","tag-virtualreality","tag-vr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16121\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
