First Contact Entertainment, the studio behind Firewall Zero Hour (2018) and Rom Extraction (2016), teased a new multiplayer shooter today called Solaris Offworld Combat.

The title was quickly mentioned during UploadVR’s E3 VR showcase, although there currently isn’t much to go on outside of what First Contact game director Damoun Shabs calls in the showcase clip a “fast-paced multiplayer shooter in VR,” so we’re still waiting on a trailer and screenshots of the game to see just what the studio has in store.

The game is set to be released “soon” on Quest and Rift (S). While not apparent from the announcement, the game’s website also indicates it will be available on PSVR.

Given the studio is targeting Quest and Rift S, both of which feature inside-out tracking, it will be interesting to see whether the game makes use of the headsets’ out-of-the-box 360 tracking volume, or include some of the standard locomotion methods more common to games seen on Rift. Seeing as PSVR is also supported, standard methods may apply, at least for that particular version.

We don’t know enough yet even to delve any further (speculatively speaking), although the game is coming soon, we should hopefully know more in the coming weeks.

      Firewall was a great game up until three weeks ago when they launched a paid DLC update, which has effectively broken the game. Hopefully they continue to try to fix it, but each new attempt to patch the game introduces new bugs. The worst part is they aren’t offering refunds to players who paid, and now cannot play anymore.

      Firewall is unplayable mess. First Contact shouldn’t make more online games.

      Only one yr earlier I made the decision to discontinue my earlier work and I am extremely glad now…. I began doing the job via internet, for an organization I came across online, for a number of hr on daily basis, and I gain definitely more than I did on my office workplace job… My pay-check for prior calendar month was $9,000… The most important thing relating to this is the more free moments I acquired for my little ones…and that the single requirement for this job is basic typing and also access to broadband… I am able to put in quality time with my close relatives or good friends and also take care of my children and also going on family vacation with them very consistently. Don’t skip this chance and make sure to take action fast. Take a look, what it’s about… rubleuniversal.erlegen.de

    Bear in mind, FZH doesn’t work. Broken game. Never buy a game by First Contact Entertainment!

        One yr ago I decided to just leave my prior work and I am so thrilled nowadays…. I began doing the job online, for a business I found on-line, for a few hrs every day, and I get even more than I actually did on my office job… My pay-check for past month was 9,000 dollars… The best thing relating to this is the additional time I got for my little kids…and that the single requirement for this job is simple typing as well as having access to broadband… I am able to put in quality time with my relatives and good friends and take good care of my children and also going on family vacation with them really frequently. Don’t avoid this chance and make sure to act fast. Give it a look, what it’s about… concepttrumpet.im-internet.eu
