Ever since HTC Vive and Square Enix announced a collaboration to release Kai-Ri-Sei Million Arthur VR last year, VRFocus has been closely following the developments. Then last month the videogame launched through Steam in Japan – and region locked. But there could be hope for a wider release as it’s been revealed the title will be coming to Viveport.
Currently the Mobile World Congress (MWC) is taking place in Shanghai, China, and Alvin Wang Graylin, China Regional President of HTC Vive, has tweeted an announcement from the event that Kai-Ri-Sei Million Arthur VR will see a release on the company’s own platform.

No details have been confirmed on when this may occur or whether it’ll be region locked like the Steam release. With plenty of western players always keen to get their hands on Japanese content – there are plenty of festivals focused on Japanese culture – it might no longer be a case of if but when.
Developed by Gree Co, Kai-ri-Sei Million Arthur VR has its own unique storyline and content based around the original free-to-play card battle title exclusive to HTC Vive.
As further details emerge, VRFocus will bring you the latest updates.

Revealed as part of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s (SIE) Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) press conference last night, Final Fantasy XV: Monster of the Deep is a PlayStation VR title set in the hugely popular Final Fantasy XV universe. Today, publisher Square Enix has confirmed that the videogame will be released as a standalone title this September.
Final Fantasy XV: Monster of the Deep will offer PlayStation VR players the opportunity to explore the world’s oceans, lakes, ponds and rivers and participate in a wide variety of fishing challenges. Many returning characters from the original Final Fantasy XV will appear in the videogame, including familiar faces such as Noctis, Prompto, Ignis, Gladiolus, and more.
Few other details on Final Fantasy XV: Monster of the Deep are currently available, and it’s not yet known whether this release will act as a replacement to the previously revealed Final Fantasy XV: VR Experience, or a separate sister title. Of course, more information is expected to arrive during this year’s E3, and VRFocus will keep you updated with all the latest details.
Well Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) certainly knew how to make an entrance for PlayStation VR, showcasing the very first footage of Skyrim VR. But the the company wasn’t going to stop there releasing a trailer reel with none other than Square Enix’s Final Fantasy, in the form of Final Fantasy XV: Monster of the Deep.
Set in the Final Fantasy universe, the virtual reality (VR) videogame will actually be a sort of fishing title featuring characters from the series. In it, players will be able to jump in a boat or fish from the waters edge, but being Final Fantasy there isn’t just a few fish to capture. As the title name suggests, there are much bigger creatures underneath the shimmering water, with monsterous fish and much more besides.
Final Fantasy XV: Monster of the Deep is due to launch later this year in September 2017.
Other titles to appear during the showcase include two experiences from Supermassive Games: The Inpatient and Bravo Team, and Star Child from Playful.
