At the start of the week Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) held a press conference for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR prior to Paris Games Week (PGW) which you were hopefully following on VRFocus. Before the main event took place there was a pre-show which unveiled several new titles, one of which was Bow to Blood by Tribetoy. If you like the look of the videogame VRFocus now has several new screenshots and concept art images for you to look through.
Bow to Blood puts players in control of a giant airship, pitting them against other opponents in The Arena, with the aim of becoming champion in a fantasy style reality game show. Players will be challenged with completing harrowing high-speed races, deadly battles with swarming assault ships, perilous encounters with aerial beasts, mind-bending puzzles, and more.
All the encounters are procedurally generated to ensure players get a different experience every time, where they’ll have to decide if they what to assist fellow challengers and gain their support, or exploit them for personal gain and earning their wrath.
To succeed players need to master their mighty airship, managing their crew, unleashing the full force of their on board cannons, routing power, and even equipping a trusty sidearm when the enemy gets too close for comfort.
Bow to Blood wasn’t the only titleto surprise during the event so VRFocuscreated a handy roundup guide for you to see every piece of content in one place. It’s not just the games that showcase SIE’s commitment to PlayStation VR, the company recently released a new edition, known as CUH-ZVR2 in Japan, which looked to have boosted sales of the headset even though the improvements were fairly minor.
VRFocus will continue its coverage of Bow to Blood, reporting back with the latest updates from Tribetoy.

Missed the announcements from Paris Games Week (PGW)? A huge fan of virtual reality (VR)? PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR owners likely already know that there are now over 100 titles on the platform. But that’s just now. There’s plenty of videogames on the way to add to that collection, and luckily VRFocus has got your back. Below you can find a list of all the PlayStation VR videogames that were announced or mentioned at PGW – and we have also created a little video recap which you can find below.
Bandai Namco bring you Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, taking their popular fighter pilot series to VR for the first time. With spectacular views, a dynamic weather system and various maps, this videogame demands the highest possible aerial combat skills.
Chris Redfield comes up against new and terrifying enemies in his pursuit of deadly psychopath Lucas in Resident Evil VII thanks to the Not A Hero free DLC. There are plenty of gory situations to confront on the path ahead as Redfield seeks an end to the bloody reign of the murderous Baker family.
Developers Against Gravity have created a social platform where players can engage in multiplayer games with one another. As with all the products mentioned here, check out the link for more information.
Announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), VRFocus thought Moss was perhaps the cutest VR game to date. Sadly, that date has shifted, with the title now delayed until 2018. Developed by Polyarc, Moss asks players to solve puzzles in a larger-than-life world. The protagonist Quill also recognises who you are and tries to point out tips when you’re stuck. Quill’s intricate hand movements actually promotes sign language as she uses her body, hands and squeaks to communicate with you.
Announced at PGW today, this first-person shooter (FPS) takes adventure to a futuristic, robot-filled sci-fi world. You play as the last human on a world where synthetic creatures seek to dominate their new hunting grounds. Created by Fast Travel Games, this Swedish studio is formed of Ex-Rovio, EA and DICE staff.
Another newly announced title, Bow to Blood is a multiplayer videogame where players pilot airships into combat with other players. PlayStation VR owners can go solo or team up to battle rivals. Stand and fight or reposition on your foe? It’s your call.
Announced back in August this real-time tabletop warfare simulator should be something strategy fans will enjoy. Players will have access to 12 different units, four of which can be deployed at one time. This includes tanks, soldiers, flamethrowers, artillery and helicopters. Each unit costs energy to put on the battlefield – so don’t start spamming out loads of troops without thinking careful first.
Showcased at E3 this year, this videogame asks players to see the world through sound; similar to how echolocation would work underwater. The noise you make highlight the surroundings around you in a creepy white line drawing style. Unfortunately, whilst using sound shows your path it also draws the attention of enemies. You will need to balance your need to see versus your need to keep safe. A slow and steady process that really gets under your skin.
A fast-paced obstacle course racing title that asks players to swing their arms back and forth in order to increase the speed at which they travel. Climb, jump, leap across various obstacles and compete against friends or A.I.
Developers Playful Corp have created a dark, cyberpunk world where strange creatures roam in a bizarre neon-lit world. A side-scrolling platform experience, the protagonist has to solve puzzles and take an elevator deeper into an alien world.Transference– Coming Soon
Announced at E3, Elijah Wood’s videogame company Spectrevision and Ubisoft have created a psychological thriller videogame where players delve into the destructive tale of a man’s obsession as they explore his digitally recreated memories. Think Inception, but as a videogame where you have to solve puzzles in the man’s memories. VRFocus did an interview with Kyle McCullough from SpectreVision if you want more information.
Available on the Samsung Gear VR and now coming to PlayStation VR, this flying simulator allows you to try three different aircrafts, has several missions which in turn allows the player to purchase airports across three separate islands. Shoot balloons, take photos, fly through rings, race against players or practice that perfect landing.
This tongue-in-cheek action videogame allows you to cook up a storm as a chef feeding some very hungry zombies. That’s right, you’re not killing zombies on mass but feeding them some very well-cooked hamburgers instead. Perfect for Halloween.
Set in sci-fi world on what seems another planet, PGW is the first time anything of this videogame was showcased and very little is known about it for sure. However, it appears to be the evolution of previously announced VR title Eden. And features some very strange and bizarre looking creatures that resemble a Brachiosaurus. The teaser also features three-armed robotic drones and enormous monsters.
Showcasing the first hands-on previews at PGW, the gameplay features customisable costumes, a various array of fish (and other creatures) and various ways of catching fish from travel to sonar detection.
A first-person videogame where you play as a titan on a quest to become a powerful god. With destructible environment and a range of weapons in a stylised world.
Set in a medieval castle with ghostly inhabitants, you play a young mage recently returned from magic school on a quest to delve into their family’s fraught past. You have to rebuild your family’s wealth and use your wand to uncover treasure, coins and crowns. As the name of the title suggests, you’ll have to do a lot of smashing and hitting things to do that. Venture into multiple dungeons, secret rooms and set things on fire, smash everything you see or sneak up on ghosts to find hidden gold.
Another new title to add to the growing list of PlayStation VR games available for players, you play a brutal gangster in London. On a quest to avenge his murdered family, you have to break into enemy hideouts, casinos and gun down your enemies. You need to be prepared for both stealth gameplay as well as ready to throw yourself into the action. The teaser showcase lock picking and a bomb detonating as you shoot down enemies.
Those are the latest videogames that have been announced or will be coming soon to the PlayStation VR. Watch the video below to get a glimpse of all the videogames and follow VRFocus for any further announcements on the videogames.
Paris Games Week is starting on November 1st, but Sony’s pre-PGW keynote has seen the announcement of two all new PSVR titles today heading to headsets in 2018: Megalith, a hero shooter, and Bow to Blood an airship battle game.
Megalith comes from Disruptive Games, and promises to let you inhabit the body of a Titan on his way to godhood. Destructible environments combined with the game’s ‘free locomotion’ scheme (assuming ‘free’ means you’ll be able to move without teleportation), makes it an interesting entry. It’s unclear if Aim support will be added, but we’ll be keeping our eyes out for any updates as they come in. Check out the trailer below.
Piloting a high-tech airship, Bow to Blood from Tribetoy puts you in a sort of Reality TV show where you can both betray and make allies in a procedurally generated world. You battle other ships by controlling a console. It’s unclear if it will also allow co-op, although we can see two more consoles in the trailer itself, suggesting it will be a multiplayer game.
This news is breaking. We’ll be updating as news comes in.

Sony revealed a new game coming in 2018 for PlayStation VR that sees players control airships in procedurally generated battles.
Bow To Blood looks like it puts players at the helm of airships with a dashboard full of controls to manage in battle against other ships.
The new game from Tribetoy was announced as part of Sony’s announcements at Paris Games Week. Bow To Blood seems to capture the premise of pirates battling on the sea but puts it above the clouds instead, with a variety of activities including shooting drones with a hand-held gun, targeting other craft with your ship or racing through checkpoints. The trailer suggests there’s both cooperative and competitive gameplay.
