COVR is aiming for a more realistic close-quarters combat experience than the more arcade-leaning Zero Caliber games.<\/p>\n
After Onward’s development ended<\/a>, the VR tactical milsim category was left decidedly thin. Tactical Assault VR<\/a>, still in Early Access, is the most popular current option for players at the moment.<\/p>\n When developer XReal Games announced Zero Caliber: Frostbite<\/a> last week, it also teased a second game announcement to come this week. Here is the full text of the post from X: <\/p>\n “Alongside FROSTBITE, we\u2019re also working on COVR – a hardcore tactical VR milsim.<\/p>\n Zero Caliber sits between arcade and realism. This does not. COVR is built around deliberate pacing, consequence, and proper CQB execution.<\/p>\n Expect high-stakes solo and co-op missions across tightly designed environments, with a focus on realistic weapon handling, dynamic enemies, and systemic gameplay where your decisions actually matter.”<\/p>\n XReal included a link to a playtest sign-up form<\/a> with the announcement. Both titles are said to be in ‘early development’ and are expected to release sometime in 2026. XReal did not offer any specificity about planned platforms. <\/p>\n Zero Caliber 2 first released on Meta Quest<\/a> in August 2024. A ‘Remastered’ edition hit PC VR in October 2025 and a PlayStation VR2 version is reportedly in development. Time will tell if XReal follows a similar staggered release schedule for Frostbite and COVR.<\/p>\n
