Ubisoft today have announced that Closed Beta registrations have now been open for their upcoming VR arcade shooter Space Junkies. As you can see from the trailer below, this latest title developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, finds you strapping on a jetpack, launching yourself around an “Orena” and blasting anything that moves in this frantic FPS.
Fight other players in microgravity orbital arenas: you will never feel safe again with attackers coming at you from every direction. Dodge and navigate at breakneck speed, make the best use of covers, explosives and destructible environments to escape and counter them. Space Junkies will feature several “Orenas” at launch, so map awareness will be your best ally to dominate the encounters.
Gear up with an advanced arsenal of weapons including shotguns, miniguns, railguns (ALL THE GUNS!), but also slingshots, rocket launchers and even some weird alien technology.
Master each of them in intense duels, strategic 2v2s or treacherous and hectic free-for-alls.
Choose from among a diverse bunch of playable races, from tough humans hardened by decades of galactic warfare to deadly crab-looking aliens. They’ve all come together in this space-time cluster to claim fame and glory in the Orenas.
Experience full VR embodiment, allowing for intuitive manipulation of your equipment, elaborate hand gestures or straight-up shenanigans. (But keep it civil, though, please…)
Space Junkies will be available for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive and will allow cross-play so that you can compete against friends.
You can register now for Space Junkies Closed Beta here. Space Junkies is set for release on Oculus Rift + Touch and HTC Vive + controllers in spring 2018. For more information visit: https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/game/space-junkies/
