Experiment Gone Rogue Blasts Onto Steam Early Access This Month

After announcing a third round of beta testing for its upcoming virtual reality (VR) title Experiment Gone Rogue last month,  Bulgarian indie developer Repulse Game Studio has now revealed a Steam Early Access release date, 21st November 2018.

Experiment Gone Rogue

Set in a dystopian future where an alien race, known as the Cirinians, has come to Earth and asserted itself as the ruler of humanity, Experiment Gone Rogue puts you in the shoes of a genetically enhanced super soldier who was created with the sole purpose of warfare. Like any good sci-fi story where the experiment goes awry, this time your the one killing and creating all sorts of destruction.

Experiment Gone Rogue is set to feature both smooth and teleportation style locomotion systems to move around the sci-fi locations, with a sizable arsenal of weapons at your disposal including rare upgraded versions to find. Repulse Game Studio also allows you to get your hands dirty with some physics-based punching mechanics to smash those Cirinians about – you are a super soldier after all. 

Purely single-player, there will be an unfolding storyline to discover, extra prizes to be won via various mini-games and a virtual Go-Go bar to chill in after completing one of the many boss fights.

The studio plan to be in Early Access for around 2 months with the initial version featuring five playable levels, while the final version will add a new level, new gameplay elements and overall polish. Repulse Game Studio estimates Experiment Gone Rogue has around 2.5 hours of gameplay currently.

Experiment Gone Rogue will be available via Steam Early Access from 21st November, with support for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. For any further updates keep reading VRFocus.

Just like the previous betas, Repulse Game Studio will be giving free keys to access the beta on the studio’s Discord channel. Done on a first come first served basis, applicants will either need an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive headset to participate.

“After our second beta testing which got us amazing feedback, we implemented a lot of new features and as we come close to release, we want to run another test so that we make sure our players are satisfied with what we have done and will have a blast,” said Raya Nedyalkova, marketing organizer at Repulse in a statement.

The new beta version will feature new and improved components including: both smooth locomotion and teleportation systems; dynamic roomscale gunplay; physics based punching that transfers your punch velocity into the videogame; a wide variety of weapons and rare versions of them; multiple boss fights; flying vehicles; a VR Go Go bar with champagne room and several extra unlockable features via minigames.

Experiment Gone Rogue

Experiment Gone Rogue is set in a dystopian future where an alien race, known as the Cirinians, has come to Earth and asserted itself as the ruler of humanity. The positive public image they have created for themselves acts as a veil to hide the experiments they have been performing. Players take the role of a genetically enhanced super soldier who was created with the sole purpose of warfare. They’ll be able to punch their way through enemies, take the fight to the skies, dual wield any weapon, fight monstrous bosses, eat cupcakes and more to save the day.

Repulse Game Studio has yet to finalise a launch window for Experiment Gone Rogue, when it does, VRFocus will let you know.
