The highly anticipated Oculus exclusive, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is finally due to launch this holiday. A new trailer shows the game’s emphasis on both action and narrative.
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond has been in development by Respawn Entertainment for nearly three years, making it one of the most anticipated Oculus exclusive titles to date. The game is due to finally launch this holiday season.
Today the game got a brand new trailer which gives us a much better look at gameplay and story than anything previously released.
Oculus today revealed the narrative premise of the game along with some other details:
Through VR, players will be transported into the boots of a combat engineer who is recruited to join the OSS — Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the modern CIA created to conduct espionage and sabotage behind enemy lines during WWII. Alongside a cast of new and returning characters from throughout the Medal of Honor franchise, players will experience missions that will take them from Tunisia to across Europe, participating in some of the biggest moments of the war.
A major goal of Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is to “to be grounded and emotionally authentic, to be as true as we can to the experiences of people that fought through it and lived through [WWII],” according to Respawn’s Peter Hirschmann, who wrote and directed the original Medal of Honor (1999).
While the latest marketing focuses heavily on the game’s narrative authenticity and single player campaign, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is also planned to have a fully-fledged multiplayer mode, which we’ve unfortunately still not heard much about. With the game due to launch in less than four months, there’s surely more details to come ahead of launch.
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is set for holiday 2020, but a more specific release date hasn’t been announced. The game will be available exclusively on Oculus PC.
Admittedly, you’d be forgiven for thinking that because this newest trailer shows an image of an Oculus Quest at the end just before mentioning this in small print at the bottom:
“Compatible PC required. Link cable required for Oculus Quest.”
Honestly if you blink more than once you’re liable to miss it, but if you look really closely you can notice a cord draped behind the Quest there too. Naturally, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is compatible with Oculus Quest via Link when plugged into a VR-ready PC because, well, everything is. You still need the PC and Rift store to access the game, it’s not a new platform.
Other than the arguably misleading end to the trailer, it’s actually quite fantastic. There’s a less campy tone to it all when compared to the original announcement, visuals seem more polished and sharp, and I notice a bit more emphasis on blood spatter from gunshots, which makes sense, this is World War II after all. Still a bit surprising given past comments on violence from the developers.
We didn’t really learn anything new about the game other than getting a feel for its cinematic nature. The team at Respawn, some of which have worked on past Medal of Honor titles, seems to be tapping into the roots of the franchise by aiming for a more immersive movie-like experience over the gritty, grounded take that most modern military shooters go for these days.
For more details on Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond make sure and check out our past coverage on the game such as this detailed hands-on impressions from a year ago. There are still no details on the multiplayer offerings at all, but Facebook and EA have confirmed that more details on Medal of Honor are coming soon at Facebook Connect next month.
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is still slated for this holiday season as an Oculus Rift platform exclusive. Stay tuned to UploadVR for more information as it’s available and in the meantime let us know what you think down in the comments below!
The new Medal of Honor VR game, Medal of Honor: Above And Beyond, is coming this holiday, and we’ll see a new trailer this week.
Gaming host Geoff Keighley confirmed as much in a tweet with new artwork today. The tweet below confirms a Holiday 2020 release window for the game, also confirming that a new story trailer will be shown at the Gamescom Opening Night Live event on August 27th.
Tune in to #gamescom2020#OpeningNightLive on Thursday for world premiere story trailer for Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond.

This will be the first genuinely new content we’ve seen from the game since late 2019. Medal of Honor VR is being developed by Titanfall studio, Respawn Entertainment, and marks the first entry in the series in years. The game is set during World War II and will take players all over the globe in a full campaign. Multiplayer content is expected too, but we’re yet to see a reveal of this feature.
This is entirely speculation on our part, but it’s interesting that Keighely’s tweet only mentions the game is coming to ‘Oculus Gaming’. An Oculus Blog post doesn’t specify platforms, either. We know the game is coming to the Oculus Rift, but we’ve long wondered if an Oculus Quest version might be in the works too.
The game does mark one of two large-scale games Facebook has left for Rift, though, the other being Lone Echo II. It’s very likely that both of these games are too ambitious in scope to bring to Quest.
Will you be picking up Medal of Honor: Above And Beyond this holiday season? Let us know in the comments below!
One of the biggest videogame announcements in June came from EA’s Motive Studios, revealing Star Wars: Squadrons. What made the news extra special was the fact that VR is natively supported rather than a later add-on.
Set to offer a single-player story mode alongside a competitive, team-based multiplayer, in Star Wars: Squadrons you can pilot some of your favourite ships from the franchise, from the X-Wing to the Tie Fighter. Details released to date indicate a rich experience which should entice most fans.
Supported headsets: PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive & Valve Index
Release date: 2nd October 2020
The Walking Dead Onslaught
The next big title from VR specialist Survios, The Walking Dead Onslaught is being made in partnership with AMC so it’ll feature characters from the TV show – unlike The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners which had original characters.
Being the second The Walking Dead title there are a lot of expectations as to whether the experience can offer something new and improved over its rival, especially as The Walking Dead Onslaught was originally due last year. It’ll feature an exclusive single-player storyline alongside visceral combat where you can stab, slice and shoot your way through hordes of walkers.
Supported headsets: Oculus Rift, HTC Vive & Valve Index
Release date: 2020
After the Fall
Vertigo Games has had a busy year releasing new content for Arizona Sunshine for Oculus Quest and VR arcade title Ghost Patrol VR, but the one videogame it’s still keeping quiet on is After the Fall.
Unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2019, the title is another action-packed shooter. This time taking place in a desolate future consumed by climate change and where most of the population have turned into monsters because of a designer drug. You’ll be able to scavenge for parts to build deadly weapons to survive, and it looked promising when VRFocus previously demoed it.
Supported headsets: PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive & Valve Index
Release date: 2020
Lone Echo II
An Oculus Rift exclusive, Lone Echo II is another title whose launch has been delayed from 2019. A single-player sci-fi adventure the videogame continues the story from the 2017 original – worth playing if you haven’t – where you play a robot called Jack who needs to help Captain Olivia Rhodes survive the perils of space.
Thankfully, developer Ready at Dawn did release an update on its progress in May, indicating that even with the current pandemic development was still on course for a 2020 launch. At this rate, it’s going to be a bumper festive season.
Supported headsets: Oculus Rift/Rift S
Release date: 2020
Project CARS 3
For those after some genuine four-wheel action the Slightly Mad Studios’ Project CARS 3 will be leaving the paddock next month. The series has continually supported VR and that’s not going to stop with this latest iteration.
Featuring a new career mode where players can “rise from weekend warrior to racing legend,” there will be 200+ elite-brand race and road cars both classic and cutting edge to race across the 140+ tracks at locations around the world. Great to see another big name videogame continue its support for VR players.
Supported headsets: Oculus Rift, HTC Vive & Valve Index
Release date: 28th August 2020
Medal of Honor: Above & Beyond
Bringing the classic first-person shooter (FPS) back to life and firmly aimed at the VR audience, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyondappeared at Oculus Connect 6 (OC6) last year.
Set during the early 1940s as World War 2 rages on, players take on the role of an Allied agent of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Tasked with completing a range of missions such as infiltrating a hotel filled with Gestapo agents already looked promising during that initial unveiling.
While a 2020 date was initially slated, currently there’s been little in the way of updates.
Supported headsets: Oculus Rift/Rift S
Release date: 2020
Low-Fi
A Kickstarter crowd-funding success in 2019, if ever there was a title which evoked the sci-fi feel of Blade Runner then Low-Fi is it. From Iris VR Inc. – the team behind Technolust – Low-Fi is gearing up to be an epic adventure where you play a cop patrolling the dark crime-ridden streets of city-block 303, able to choose between keeping law and order or exploiting its seedy underbelly.
While backers can already play an early beta version as development continues, the PC VR launch is expected this year followed by a PlayStation 5 version in 2021.
Supported headsets: PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive & Valve Index
We’re past the halfway mark in 2020 and we’ve already seen some great VR games release this year. But what else is coming between now and the end of the year? Let’s take a look at upcoming VR games for the rest of 2020.
Some recent announcements have elevated what was looking like a rather quiet H2 2020 to an exciting few months. We’ll be taking off in X-Wings and making Dreams come true.
At long last, Media Molecule’s fantastic creation tool is ready to add VR support. Dreams is essentially a development engine unto itself, letting players make their own games and share them online. The brief tease we’ve seen of VR support so far is hugely exciting. This will arrive as a free update to owners of the base game.
The much-anticipated Oculus Quest port of Onward is very nearly here. The ever-popular military simulation shooter makes its way to the standalone headset with all the same features including, multiplayer, single-player and cooperative modes as well as, crucially, cross-play with PC VR players. If this port is up to snuff, expect Onward on Quest to be one of the biggest upcoming VR games for 2020.
Solaris: Offworld Combat (Rift, Quest) – August (PSVR in 2020)
The makers of Firewall: Zero Hour return with a new multiplayer VR shooter that trades Rainbow Six for Unreal Tournament. Solaris offers 4 v 4 battles in which players sprint and slide across maps, picking up new weapons and finding the high ground. Given the developer’s past experience, we’re hoping for a top-quality VR shooter here.
Star Wars: Squadrons (PSVR, PC VR) – October 2nd
We’ve been lucky enough to have lived out several Star Wars dreams in VR already, but Star Wars: Squadrons seems to have struck a particular chord with the fanbase. The chance to jump into the cockpit of an X-Wing or TIE Fighter in VR makes us a little weak at the knees. Fortunately, we’ll be seated for its online multiplayer battles and single-player campaign, though. This is probably the most anticipated of the upcoming VR games in 2020.
Medal of Honor: Above And Beyond (Rift) – 2020
Respawn Entertainment is one of the game’s industry’s best developers, which gives you more than enough reason to be excited for Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. Add in that this Oculus exclusive sees the developer return to a series it helped established as Infinity Ward, plus the promise of an expansive campaign and multiplayer support, and you have one of the most promising games of 2020.
Lone Echo 2 (Rift) – 2020
Lone Echo’s sequel has been a long time coming, but we’re hoping it finally enters orbit in the second half of this year. It’s high time we checked in on Liv and Jack after the first space odyssey’s dramatic cliffhanger and, now that Ready at Dawn is owned by Facebook itself, we wouldn’t expect this Oculus exclusive to hold back.
The Walking Dead: Onslaught (PSVR, PC VR) – 2020
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners may have stolen hearts and minds on PC VR and PSVR platforms already, but we’re just as excited for VR veteran Survios’ take on the zombie franchise. Aimed at the TV show instead of the comics, Onslaught delivers a full campaign with iconic characters including none other than Darryl Dixon, voiced by Norman Reedus himself. Definitely keep this on your radar for upcoming VR games 2020.

Now that we are comfortably on the other side of Half-Life: Alyx, Valve’s marquee multi-year AAA project built from the ground up for VR headsets, it’s important to keep looking forward.
There is a lot to get excited about still coming in 2020 and especially beyond. There are still major releases slated for this year from Facebook for the Oculus Rift platform, like Lone Echo 2, Phantom: Covert Ops, and Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. On Quest it seems like something new and exciting happens once or twice a month that we never expected, not to mention anticipated games like Onward, Solaris, and Population One.
Outside of the Facebook sphere we’ve got Dreams and Iron Man VR to look forward to on PSVR and plenty else on the horizon like LOW-FI, After the Fall, and another Walking Dead VR game, among many others.
So, there is a lot to look forward to then. What has you most excited in VR, AR, and otherwise in 2020 and beyond? Let us know down in the comments beow!
It’s not much to go on, but there’s a little look at Medal of Honor: Above And Beyond in this 10th-anniversary video from developer Respawn Entertainment.
The video, posted late last week, features all the games the studio has worked on over the past decade. Respawn got its start with Titanfall, founded by former members of Call of Duty developer, Infinity Ward. The studio was acquired by EA a few years back, though it’s hard to believe it’s already been 10 years since the team came together.
These days it’s best known for Apex Legends, a battle royale spin-off of Titanfall, and last year’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The only unreleased game to feature in the montage is Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, though it’s all footage we saw at the game’s reveal last Oculus Connect. It’s the first new entry in the series since 2012, and brings it back to its WW2 roots whilst also branching out as an Oculus Rift exclusive. Check out more gameplay from last year below.
The game is promising over 50 single-player missions that span the globe, plus a multiplayer mode we haven’t seen yet.
Originally Oculus had said that Above and Beyond would be arriving in 2019, but it was pushed back to 2020 when it was formally announced. We don’t know exactly when it’s coming this year, though. There’s no Oculus Quest version confirmed yet, but Respawn says it’s fond of the standalone headset.
Are you still looking forward to Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond? Let us know in the comments below!
Medal of Honor is getting its overdue resurrection in the form of Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond [hands-on preview] later this year exclusively for VR on the Oculus Rift platform from Respawn Entertainment.
The developers behind Titanfall, Apex Legends, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order are hard at work on the Medal of Honor revival. It will feature a lengthy single player campaign spanning multiple acts and plenty of multiplayer options, but we don’t know much about those yet.
Speaking in the past, Respawn has mentioned their desire to be “authentic” but “not necessarily” realistic in Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond and that carries through into how they’ve approached gameplay as well. Since VR headsets and software are getting more and more visually impressive with higher fidelity and increased immersion, a historical war game that features thousands of digital soldiers getting shot and dying, the topic of violence is at the forefront for the game industry once again.
“As fidelity gets better and VR gets more immersive, you kind of feel like you’re there. That translates to, ‘Am I harming another more realistic-looking human?’ That’s something we’re going to have to be very wary of,” Respawn CEO Vince Zampella says in an interview with the LA Times. “When you know the setting is life-and-death and it’s a historical thing — while you may be causing harm to virtual humans you’re doing it for the good of other virtual humans — in that simulation it’s something that was valuable to the world.”
In my hands-on preview for Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond I did take note of how the game doesn’t really employ an ultra-realistic art style, but instead feels almost like the original series had its box art come to life. When you’re in the headset it absolutely sells the illusion well, but in flat screenshots it’s hard to appreciate the detail. This is Respawn’s first VR game and they seem to be taking a very considerate approach.
“We just got a rough cut of a guy named Frank who served in the Pacific, and the stories he tells about what he went through in the submarine service are just crazy,” Game Director Peter Hirschmann says. “So again, we try to help it hit home that this really happened. These were 19-year-old kids. And you know, often that’s our target audience. So it’s always good if we can build empathy and ignite people’s imaginations. Then maybe they’ll come away understanding the conflict a little more.”
We still don’t know the release date for Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, but are hoping to learn more soon at PAX East and GDC last this year.
Virtual reality (VR) fans got their first glimpse of Respawn Entertainment’s first VR title back in September when Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond was finally unveiled. Reviving the classic franchise for the VR market has certainly garnered plenty of interest, with VRFocus pleasantly surprised by the demo shown at Oculus Connect 6 (OC6). In a recent interview, the team reveal they’re aware of the challenges in VR, not only making a comfortable experience but one that’s historically accurate, whilst treading carefully when it comes to realism and killing.
Talking to the Los Angeles Times about VR and the in-development videogame, Respawn Entertainment co-founder Vince Zampella says: “As fidelity gets better and VR gets more immersive, you kind of feel like you’re there. That translates to, ‘Am I harming another more realistic-looking human?’ That’s something we’re going to have to be very wary of. When you know the setting is life-and-death and it’s a historical thing — while you may be causing harm to virtual humans you’re doing it for the good of other virtual humans — in that simulation it’s something that was valuable to the world.”
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyondis set during World War 2, in the early 1940s with players taking on the role of an Allied agent of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Missions revealed so far include fighting through a European town and infiltrating a hotel filled with Gestapo. Aiding the immersion are historically accurate weapons – which have their own reload mechanics – as well as scenery and background items.
So to ensure the experience is both honest to the time period whilst honouring those who served and the horrors they faced, the studio also aims to help players empathize by including veterans of the conflict. It was previously revealed that Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond would feature story gallery so you can sit and listen to stories from survivors.
Leading development is Peter Hirschmann who goes on to say: “We just got a rough cut of a guy named Frank who served in the Pacific, and the stories he tells about what he went through in the submarine service are just crazy. So again, we try to help it hit home that this really happened. These were 19-year-old kids. And you know, often that’s our target audience. So it’s always good if we can build empathy and ignite people’s imaginations. Then maybe they’ll come away understanding the conflict a little more.”
Zampella will be splitting his time in 2020 between Respawn Entertainment and another EA studio DICE LA, which operates independently from DICE Stockholm, known for Star Wars: Battlefront and Battlefront among other titles. He’ll be overseeing projects at both studios.
As development continues on Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, VRFocus will keep you updated.
It has been quite an incredible year for virtual reality (VR) fans. Headsets like Oculus Quest, Valve Index and Vive Cosmos have arrived while developers have continually surpassed the quality of content available. So now it’s time to look ahead and into 2020. With plenty of exciting content coming in the next 12 months VRFocus looks at some of the most exciting prospects.
Half-Life: Alyx
The one videogame pretty much all VR gamers are looking forward to, Valve’s addition to the Half-Life franchise is going to be a dedicated VR experience. Supporting PC VR headsets – free for those who own Valve Index – Half-Life: Alyxwill be set between the events of 1998’s Half-Life and Half-Life 2 (2004).
You take the role of Alyx Vance as she and her father secretly form a resistance against the mysterious alien race known as The Combine currently occupying planet Earth. Set for an official launch in March, Half-Life: Alyx looks stunning from the screenshots released so far and could become the VR game of the year.
The Walking Dead: Saint & Sinners
Currently being developed by Skydance Interactive as an official tie-in to AMC’s TV Show, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is going to be a gory, zombie-filled, shooter. With its own unique storyline set within New Orleans, the videogame will task players with having to deal with constant threats of violence, disease, and famine, with threats coming from both the zombie and human population alike.
Being able to wield an assortment of ranged and close-combat weaponry, players will be able to inflict some brutal damage in their bid to survive, whilst also making life and death decisions which affect the narrative. There won’t be too long to wait either, as the launch date of 23rd January has already been confirmed.
The Walking Dead Onslaught
Can’t get enough of the undead and using shotguns to decapitate them? Well, you’re in luck as VR specialist Survios (Battlewake, Creed: Rise to Glory, Electronauts) is also working with AMC on a Walking Dead videogame. The Walking Dead Onslaught was originally due for release in 2019 but the studio pushed it back to improve the experience.
Offering a single-player campaign which also has its own unique storyline, VRFocuspreviewed the title at the Electonic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2019, finding that: “The Walking Dead Onslaught looks like it’ll provide a fairly brutal zombie gameplay experience for fans of titles like Arizona Sunshine.” There’s no launch date at the moment but Survios has always produced high-quality VR titles so its one to keep an eye on.
Lone Echo II
Before Half-Life: Alyx was announced, developer Ready at Dawn had the most anticipated sci-fi experience arriving in 2020, Lone Echo II. An Oculus Rift exclusive, the original from 2017 set a new benchmark in both visual and gameplay design for VR experiences. However, the sequel has a lot more competition now and expectations are high.
Lone Echo II was supposed to be a 2019 release, the studio announced in the summer that a Q1 2020 launch window was now taking place. Thus putting it in direct competition with Valve’s epic. The sequel continues the story of Captain Olivia Rhodes and your robot character Jack who’s there to protect her. Having previewed Lone Echo II it looks like fans won’t be disappointed.
Medal of Honor: Above & Beyond
One of the surprise announcements from Oculus Connect 6 (OC6) in September 2019, Respawn Entertainment finally revealed its first VR title originally hinted at during OC4. Bringing one of its most popular franchises to VR, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond takes players back to World War II, as an Allied agent of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).
Tasked with completing a tour of duty across Europe to disable the Nazi war machine, the title will feature both single-player and multiplayer modes offering historically accurate settings, weapons and other items. Mixing up both first-person shooter (FPS) action with puzzles, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyondproved to be an enjoyable experience when VRFocus previewed the title. There’s no release window during 2020 just yet.
Low-Fi
Coming from the indie team behind Technolust, Low-Fi first emerged on Kickstarter looking to raise $60,000 CAD to fund this cyberpunk adventure. The crowd-funding campaign easily hit the target within four days, raise over $100,000 CAD in the process.
Designed to be a massive open-world sandbox inspired by films such as Blade Runner and Robocop, Low-Fi puts players in the shoes of a police officer recently transferred to a crime-ridden section of city-block 303. Here they can keep law and order, solving crimes and advancing narratives or delve into the seedy underbelly of the city, taking bribes, framing innocent people and hanging out in casinos. A fully finished version is expected to arrive towards the end of 2020.
After the Fall
The next big title from Vertigo Games (Arizona Sunshine, Skyworld), After the Fall is another FPS filled with monsters to shoot and guns to upgrade. Taking place in Los Angeles 20 years after an apocalypse began a new ice age, you need to survive this harsh winter environment scavaging what you can whilst killing as many Snowbreed as possible. These horrible creatures were once human but thanks to designer drugs mutated into foul beasts.
Set to offering both single-player and co-op multiplayer modes, After the Fall will be an action-packed experience where you can build weapons, armour and other gear from found items. Vertigo Games has yet to announce when in 2020 After the Fall will arrive, so in the meantime check out VRFocus‘ preview.
Iron Man VR
One of the first VR videogames announced during Sony Interactive Entertainment’s (SIE) State of Play broadcast in March, Iron Man VR is possibly PlayStation VR’s biggest exclusive coming in 2020. Putting players in Tony Stark’s iconic suit whilst playing the character himself, players will be able to fly, shoot and punch just like the Marvel superhero, in what could be the best Iron Man videogame to date.
Marvel’s Iron Man VRis scheduled for worldwide release on 28th February 2020 with pre-orders available.
Paper Beast
Another PlayStation VR exclusive, Paper Beast looks set to offer one of the most intriguing and original experiences to come to the headset next year. Created by French studio Pixel Reef, Paper Beast is the work of legendary designer behind Another World and From Dust, Eric Chahi.
Designed to be a playful exploration videogame, Paper Beast is set in the world of big data, born within the vast memory of data servers. Here players will find strange creatures and an everchanging landscape, with a non-verbal narrative to follow. Players can not only interact with the creatures they find but also the terrain, solving puzzles in the process. Paper Beastis due out soon, with a Q1 2020 window now in place.
The Room VR: A Dark Matter
A multiplatform title which was revealed during OC6, The Room VR: A Dark Matter continues Fireproof Games’ award winning series The Room. Designed specifically for VR, this version is set in the British Museum, London, circa 1908. The storyline revolves around the disappearance of an esteemed Egyptologist prompting a police investigation.
Players will be able to explore cryptic locations, examine gadgets and discover an otherworldly element blurring the line between reality and illusion, fantastic for any puzzle fan. A launch will be taking place early 2020 for headsets including Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, Valve Index and Windows Mixed Reality.
Pixel Ripped 1995
Having begun with Pixel Ripped 1989, creator Ana Ribeiro and Brazilian studio ARVORE plan to make several sequels with Pixel Ripped 1995 being the next. Each one is a sort of homage to gaming of that era, mixing VR environments with some retro gameplay.
The first title was a delightful experience with Pixel Ripped 1995 promising more of the same, now stepping into the 16-bit gaming era. The narrative continueswhere players have to fight an evil goblin called the Cyblin Lord. This time players are David, a 9-year-old kid from New Jersey who must defeat the evil villain. Currently, Pixel Ripped 1995 doesn’t have a date or window for launch in 2020, so take a look at VRFocus’ preview from OC6 for a little more info.
Phantom: Covert Ops
As is quite often the case videogame launches get pushed back and nDreams’ Phatom: Covert Ops is no different. Another title expected in 2019, the British VR developer announced the decision to delay the release until the new year to polish the experience.
From what VRFocus has seen already Phantom: Covert Ops looks very promising, with the core mechanic being that you’re a stealth operative working solely from a kayak. One of the reasons for this idea was gamer comfort, in a seated position you need to paddle to move anywhere, whilst a range of weaponry including a silenced pistol, rifle and C4 are all close to hand for carrying out missions. Once again there’s no solid date for Phantom: Covert Ops’ launch in 2020 so you’ll have to make do with this preview for a little more detail.
While the latest marketing focuses heavily on the game’s narrative authenticity and single player campaign, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is also planned to have a fully-fledged multiplayer mode, which we’ve unfortunately still not heard much about. With the game due to launch in less than four months, there’s surely more details to come ahead of launch.
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is set for holiday 2020, but a more specific release date hasn’t been announced. The game will be available exclusively on Oculus PC.
