Ever since VRFocus heard about IGGYMOB bringing famous action series Gungrave VR headsets we’ve been keenly intrigued by the prospect. Originally, the title was due for launch in 2017 for PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive. While the latter two seen to be in limbo, PlayStation VR fans will be pleased to know that Gungrave VR will be arriving next month.
Featuring third- and first-person gameplay modes, Gungrave VR will be launching in North America digitally and at retail on 11th December, 2018. That date will actually be a double whammy of content for gamers with Gungrave VR U.N, the standalone second episode which greatly expands on the story and gameplay of Gungrave VR will also launch on the same day.
A bundle called the “Loaded Coffin Edition,” which includes both videogames at a discounted price can be pre-ordered now on the PlayStation Store at $39.99 USD, or at retail stores for the same price for the physical version. Or should you wish to buy Gungrave VR just by itself then it’ll be available on the PlayStation Store for $29.99.
Gungrave VR U.N, which does not require the core title to play, will be available separately for $14.99. As a bonus, all pre-orders at the PlayStation Store will come with an exclusive “Loaded Coffin Edition” theme.
