Schade, dass Ubisoft zu Space Junkies einen so schnell geschnittenen E3-Trailer veröffentlicht – denn erst in zusammenhängenden Szenen kann man nachvollziehen, wie spannend und turbulent die Mehrspieler-Matches im All manchmal verlaufen. So erging es uns zumindest beim Gamescom-Testmatch im vergangenen Jahr.
Wer ebenfalls in den VR-Shooter für Oculus Rift und HTC Vive hineinschnuppern und frei durch die kugelförmigen 3D-Arenen schweben möchte, kann sich ab sofort auf der offiziellen Website für die geschlossene Beta bewerben, die vom 28. Juni bis zum 2. Juli dauert. Die Vollversion erscheint im vierten Quartal 2018. Entwickelt wird der Titel übrigens von Ubisofts Montpellier-Studio (Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends).

THE DIRTY BOWL If you thought space was hostile before… just wait until you play in the Dirty Bowl! Death comes fast and hard from all directions as you speed & fight through Orbital Arenas (“Orenas”) designed specifically to kill and built to thrill!
ADRENALINE-PACKED MULTIPLAYER You are now part of the elite Tribes of gun-slinging Spacers who battle it out in treacherous 2v2 and 1v1 battles.
GET TO KNOW YOUR BODY Full VR embodiment allows you to use your hands and body to manipulate intuitively your environment and weapons, while full use of motion controllers brings you right into the gun-slinging action!
FULL VR NAVIGATION IN SPACE Dodge, weave and fly through hostile space environments and 360° orbital battlefields! Situational awareness gets vertical as opponents come at you fast, hard, up, down, sideways and backwards!

HELLO, DARLING, CAN YOU HEAR ME? Full-spatialized audio will have you fully immersed in this explosive environment.
