A Fantasy RPG VR Experience?
Sadly, we still have no idea if any kind of Left 4 Dead sequel is on the way, and from their latest announcement it doesn’t look like Turtle Rock Studios have any intention of transitioning the popular zombie FPS into VR.
That’s not to say the premise for their new project doesn’t sound intriguing.
According to an article on Gamespot –
Turtle Rock Studios, the developer behind Left 4 Dead and Evolve, has announced its next game. “The Well” is a turn-based fantasy role-playing game for Samsung Gear VR. It’s described as a “classically designed RPG built distinctively for VR” with a “storybook art style” and a “dark, dreamlike atmosphere.”
The Well is not Turtle Rock’s first VR game, as the studio already released titles like Face Your Fears, Blade Runner 2049: Replicant Pursuit, and Otherworlds. But The Well is more ambitious than those, Turtle Rock GM Steve Goldstein said in a statement.
“The Well is not only our most ambitious VR title to date, it is our most unique,” he explained. “We’re excited to create a new, original fantasy world unlike anything we’ve seen before, and it’s specifically crafted for the Gear VR platform. It’s not just a fun game, it’s beautiful. Gear VR is a medium that allows us to push the creative envelope and bring to life games we never thought possible.”
The Well puts you in a mysterious world called Tholl, which is brimming with magic and fantastical creatures. You can play as one of four classes–Warrior, Mage, Rogue, and Druid–and each of course has their own specific set of spells and abilities. You’ll assemble a party of other characters and can level up your squad over time, earning more abilities in the process.
The Well launches on October 11, priced at $10 in the US. The game launches on the first day of this year’s Oculus Connect event, and the game will be playable there.
