Sony
has updated us regarding the slate of VR games that are set to release this
year. The list is actually great, as it includes the virtual reality adaptation
of Doom 3 alongside some newcomers and successful VR studios.

Sony
has initially announced a new generation of PSVR for its PlayStation 5 console.
According to the announcement, the headset would come with a redesigned
controller and a single cord would come in place of the original cable box. In
addition, there will be a higher resolution screen and other upgrades.

But
comes to think of it – not enough information has been given regarding the
headset and even the device isn’t arriving this year. Thus, it makes sense that
the games that are being launched today will be launched for PSVR – of course,
the promise of better experience is granted.

Doom
3 VR is the only title that’s been given with the release date. It will launch
on the 29^th of March for PS4 and PS5. It’s apparently a “retooled”
port of the original 2004 shooter and it will come with two expansions that are
designed for the PSVR gun-like accessory. The snippet of the game hints us
about the updated graphics and changed gameplay.

This
isn’t the first Doom game for PSVR, the first one was released in 2017! Since it’s
not the first time Doom 3 that has appeared in VR, it will be nice to see the
changes and the secretive upgrading.  The
game was supposed to be part of the launch of the Oculus Rift headset, but got
cancelled as it got caught up in a lawsuit over rights issue. But a few days
ago, a modding team had unofficially ported the game to the Oculus Quest.

Furthermore,
Vertigo Games – creator of Zombie VR shooter Arizona Sunshine – is all set to
do a follow-up on After the Fall and bring it to PSVR. The Fall was announced a
few years back and was supposed to come to PSVR by 2020, but that expected
launch was slightly delayed. However, the rescheduling caused by the pandemic
has been done, and now, the game is slated for an early 2021 launch.

Apparently,
PlayStation VR is supporting the sequel of I Expect You to Die 2 – a wild
concept of successful escape room title. It was originally supposed to stream
in January and promised a highly interactive spy-themed puzzle and enduring VR
technology.

Other
games don’t come with the same recognition but they still hold intriguing value
to the updated PSVR catalog. Fracked is developed by nDreams, and the game is
supporting the same old sporty-gun formula and is an action shooter built
around skiing. There’s intense climbing, zip-lines, and the old-school
duck-and-cover combat. Who doesn’t enjoy watching an interdimensional army of
gun-wielding?

There’s
also a Song in the Smoke by Galak-Z developer, and it’s a survival game that
explores the themes of crafting, scavenging, and hunting. In the trailer, the
gorgeous landscapes and mechanic designs can be seen and it will launch
sometime this year – the exact date of release on the VR platform is
unspecified.

Along
with all these games, Sony is also inducting the 2021 release of Zenith – the
anime-inspired multiplayer roleplaying game that was funded on Kickstarter. The
game is heavily influenced by high-tech fantasy world that makes the players
climb and glide on the ground and fight the VR-adapted versions of the
conventional RPG combat.

Such
exciting news, we simply cannot wait for these six PlayStation VR games like
Doom 3: VR edition to release!
