Vertigo Games Turns Skyworld Into Cross-Platform Multiplayer Card Game
Vertigo Games released its mix of real-time and turn-based strategy experience Skyworld back in 2017, offering a mashup of several genres. Today, the company in collaboration with Vive Studios have announced a new title in the franchise, a multiplayer card-battler called Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl.
Designed to be a highly competitive cross-platform experience, Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl will allow players to unlock, collect and upgrade dozens of cards to build powerful decks. This being virtual reality (VR) they’ll be able to see their cards come alive as they cast spells and summon forces to wipe their opponents off the map. As a multiplayer focused title, players can go it alone or join a clan, taking on opponents from around the globe in regular online tournaments to rank on the global leaderboards.
“We set out to deliver a consistent, uncompromising cross-platform experience across PC VR and standalone VR hardware with Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl and it’s exciting to see how far we’ve been able to push the devices; from drawing massive numbers of units on screen to delivering awesome combat effects,” said Trevor Blom, Lead Tech at Vertigo Studios in a statement.
Having partnered with Vive Studios, Vertigo Games will be debuting Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2019, offering attendees a cross-platform multiplayer hands-on demo on HTC Vive Pro and the HTC Vive Focus in the VR Play Area.
“Vertigo Games and Vive Studios have delivered on the VR industry’s desire for a gripping multiplayer game where players can battle friends regardless of their different VR hardware,” said Joel Breton, Vice President, Vive Studios. “We are very excited to be partnering with Vertigo Games to bring Skyworld Kingdom Brawl to the entire VR community.”
The studios are celebrating today’s announcement by launching the original Skyworld on Viveport Subscription today. As for the official launch of Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl, that will take place on 2nd April 2019, supporting HTC Vive, HTC Vive Pro, HTC Vive Focus, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. An HTC Vive Focus Plus version is scheduled for later this year. For any further updates on Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl, keep reading VRFocus.
Valve has a brand-new game in the works, but it’s not ‘Half-Life 3’
Valve has a new game up its sleeve and it's nothing to do with its Half-Life franchise. While that may leave fans disappointed, DotA 2 players can look forward to an expanded universe in the form of Artifact, a CCG.

‘Ascension VR’ Launches First Expansion and Adds Oculus Touch Support
Board and card games are some of the simplest ways to witness the efficiency and attention to detail being put to work in virtual spaces. Being able to replicate these personal gaming experiences is a testament to the platform’s future even outside of games, having users manipulate cards, figures, and boards as if they were on a table in front of them — similar to Tabletop Simulator. You can also welcome friends into a lot of these experiences, bringing friendly game nights to a virtual space. Ascension VR is one of the earliest examples of this, along with Dragon Front, and is receiving an update that takes the game’s content and interaction to the next level.
Ascension VR is a virtual deck building game that has animated avatars that lip sync with your table speak and mimic your movements. In the game, players operate with a hand of apprentices and militia that both provide unique resources: Runes and Power. Honor is the game-winning resource that is accrued as you hire heroes, build constructs, and defeat monsters. The new expansion, dubbed War of Shadows, introduces a night/day mechanic and powerful new heroes and constructs that require spending of both types of resources. The new update includes 10 new monster, 24 new heroes, and 9 new construct cards. On top of all this, the game is including Oculus Touch compatibility in this expansion as well.
While games do operate fine with just headsets and gamepads, the Touch implementation takes the immersion to the next level. The update should also speed up gameplay since players can quickly and naturally progress through matches with hand motions. The base game is available on Steam for $9.99 and can be purchased with the War of Shadows expansion for $15.28. If you already own the game, War of Shadows can be purchased separately for $7.99.
