Watch This Gameplay Teaser For Sword Fighting VR Game Until You Fall

Schell Games (creators of the highly successful I Expect You To Die) revealed a brand new VR action game earlier this year called Until You Fall. It’s a very different type of game as they have traded the slow-paced and comical puzzle-filled rooms of their spy adventure for fast-paced first-person sword-based combat.

We still don’t know a whole lot about this game, but now we finally get to see about 30 seconds of actual gameplay. In the clip below you see a small chunk of combat complete with lots of active movement. The sword combat system appears to focus on 1v1 scenarios with visual indicators showing you when you’ve broken their guard and where to align your blade to block.

On the official website the description says “melee and magic fuse to deliver a satisfying combat experience n which you are the master of your own martial style,” and “battle your way through a corrupted landscape and the twisted denizens born from the Calamity. Fight, gather Aether, forge new weapons, and grow stronger.”

Until You Fall is slated for release this year and is likely coming to all of the major VR platforms you’d expect judging from how widely available I Expect You To Die is already. And if you want more details on Until You Fall, then you should definitely tune into the E3 VR Showcase on June 10 at 9AM PT.

Until You Fall: VR-Abenteuer von Schell Games für 2019 angekündigt

Entwicklerstudio Schell Games (unter anderem bekannt für I Expect You To Die) kündigt das neue neues VR-Abenteuer Until You Fall an, welches Dungeon-Crawler-, RPG- und Rogue-Like-Elemente enthält und auf ein ausgereiftes Schwertkampfsystem setzen soll. Der VR-Titel soll noch 2019 erscheinen.

Until You Fall – VR-Dungeon-Crawler-RPG mit Rogue-Like-Elementen erscheint 2019

In Until You Fall treffen zahlreiche Genres aufeinander, um sich in der Virtual Reality die Hand zu geben. So sollen die Spieler im Dungeon-Crawler-Stil durch Verliese und Höhlen wandern, um die darin lebenden Kreaturen um ihren Loot zu erleichtern. RPG-typisch winken dafür Belohnungen, die euren Charakter verstärken. Um für genug Herausforderung zu sorgen, streuen die Entwickler von Schell Games noch einige Rogue-Like-Elemente ein. So soll es öfters einmal zum Game Over kommen, jedoch trotzdem ein kontinuierlicher Levelfortschritt entstehen, damit die Spieler am Ball bleiben.

Der Hauptfokus des kommenden Gameplays soll währenddessen auf einem Schwertkampfsystem liegen, welches zahlreiche Finessen beinhaltet. Im Kampf gegen fiese Monster, Humanoiden und Fabelwesen greift ihr im kommenden VR-Abenteuer zu eurer virtuellen Klinge, um den Widersachern den Garaus zu machen. Jeder Spieler soll dabei auf eine diverse Anzahl an Schwerttechniken zurückgreifen können, um seinen ganz persönlichen Spielstil zu finden. Eine obligatorische realistische Physik-Engine soll ebenso zum Tragen kommen.

Jesse Schell, CEO von Schell Games, beschreibt den kommenden VR-Titel folgendermaßen:

“Wir kombinieren verschiedene Arten des Schwertkampfes, um ein intensives Kampferlebnis in Echtzeit zu schaffen. Ein Erlebnis, das es in VR noch nie gegeben hat. Aufgrund unserer langjährigen Erfahrung im Medium VR, glauben wir fest daran, ein Spiel geschaffen zu haben, dass Grenzen überschreitet und den Spielern eine wirklich immersive Nahkampferfahrung offenbart, welche sie sich schon lange wünschen.”

Bisher unbekannt ist, für welche VR-Brillen der neue VR-Titel erscheinen soll. Da das Entwicklerstudio zu den gelisteten Devs für die Oculus Quest zählt, scheint ein Release für die kommende VR-Brille durchaus realistisch.

Until You Fall soll noch 2019 erscheinen.

Schell Games’ New Title ‘Until You Fall’ Aims to Raise the Bar on VR Sword Combat

Schell Games, the studio behind VR titles like I Expect You to Die (2016), today announced its next project which promises to “blend various styles of sword fighting to create an intense, real-time combat expe­ri­ence that hasn’t been seen before with VR.”

It seems like VR gaming is finally starting to move away from trying to make everything an FPS. I’ve said in the past that ‘guns are the laziest method of VR interaction’ because most incarnations amount to little more than dressed up laser pointers, which ultimately don’t make great use of VR’s unique strengths (with a handful of key exceptions, of course). Melee combat stands to be more interactive and interesting because of how much it incorporates body motions and spatial awareness (things which VR does very well).

Following other prominently melee-focused VR games like In Death, Blade and Sorcery, and the upcoming Asgard’s Wrath, Schell Games is throwing its hat into the ring with Until You Fall, a “magic-infused, VR sword fighting game.”

From the brief description the studio revealed today, it sounds like the game will be a procedurally generated roguelike dungeon crawler, meaning players will battle as far as they can until they are inevitably vanquished, but may earn some sort of progress with each playthrough. In that sense, it sounds like it could be similar in concept to In Death [our review].

The initial announcement is short on details and offers no look at screenshots or gameplay footage, but the studio is promising “a VR sword fighting game that delivers a satis­fying combat expe­ri­ence,” and quite ambitiously aims to be a “visually stunning” game with a level of combat interaction that raises the bar for VR.

“We’re blending various styles of sword fighting to create an intense, real-time combat expe­ri­ence that hasn’t been seen before with VR,” remarked Jesse Schell, CEO of Schell Games. ​“Using our deep knowledge of these platforms, we believe this game will push bound­aries and leave players with the immersive mêlée fighting expe­ri­ence they’ve been craving.”

Those are some seriously ambitious claims, but they’re backed by the studio’s game development experience dating back to 2002, including well received VR games like I Expect You to Die and Water Bears VR.

Granted, much of the studio’s development experience leans toward educational/puzzle games, and nothing under their belt to date is as combat-focused, visually rich, and action-packed as Until You Fall is being described, which could make the game a defining moment for Schell Games.

Until You Fall is set to launch sometime in 2019 but the studio isn’t actually saying on which headsets it will be available. Considering that the studio isn’t saying, the upcoming Oculus Quest seems like a good bet, though a game of this nature would surely be welcomed by the high-end VR segment on PC and PS4 as well.

I Expect You to Die Developer Schell Games Announces Sword Fighting Title Until You Fall

Over the past few years, Schell Games has created some excellent virtual reality (VR) titles such as HoloLAB Champions, Water Bears VR and its most well-known experience I Expect You to Die. Today, the team has unveiled its latest VR videogame, a magic-infused adventure called Until You Fall.

Until You Fall

At this stage, Schell Games hasn’t released too many details regarding Until You Fall, just that it’ll be a sword-wielding dungeon crawling experience that features various sword fighting styles and enemies to combat. “Players will be masters of their own martial style and battle corrupted humanoids, monstrous creatures, and unknown horrors,” claims the press release. “Death is inevitable, though win or lose, players will make progress towards the next level.

Could this be some sort of Diablo-style dungeon crawler for VR? This actually sounds more akin to Sanzaru Games’ latest Asgard’s Wrath, a fantasy role-playing game (RPG) with lots of blood, gore and dismemberment with a trusty blade. From the three pieces of artwork released so far, there do look to be three playable characters, a sword carrying warrior, some sort of stealthy ranger, and a brutish dude with a hammer.

“We’re blending various styles of sword fighting to create an intense, real-time combat experience that hasn’t been seen before with VR,” remarked Jesse Schell, CEO of Schell Games in a statement. “Using our deep knowledge of these platforms, we believe this game will push boundaries and leave players with the immersive melee fighting experience they’ve been craving.”

Until You Fall

Currently, Schell Games hasn’t confirmed which headsets will be supported by Until You Fall, with an announcement to be made at a later date. As the launch is scheduled to take place this year, more details could be arriving as soon as the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in March. When the studio does release more concrete information regarding Until You Fall, VRFocus will let you know.

Until You Fall Is A VR Sword Fighter From I Expect You To Die Studio

Until You Fall Schell Games Sword Fighting

Development studio Schell Games is announcing its upcoming sword fighting VR game Until You Fall.

The studio is focusing on delivering satisfying melee combat in the “magic-infused” title. Until You Fall launches on VR headsets sometime in 2019. From the game’s official description: “Players will be masters of their own martial style and battle corrupted humanoids, monstrous creatures, and unknown horrors.”

CEO Jesse Schell said Until You Fall is focused on single player at first and the game works by showing players where to block incoming attacks. That essentially gives the player the mind of an expert sword fighter.

Until You Fall is an upcoming VR title from Schell Games.

“We’re blending various styles of sword fighting to create an intense, real-time combat experience that hasn’t been seen before with VR,” said Schell in a prepared statement. “Using our deep knowledge of these platforms, we believe this game will push boundaries and leave players with the immersive melee fighting experience they’ve been craving.”

We talked to Schell recently and the game design professor, author and developer said he thought Facebook could sell more than 1 million Oculus Quest headsets in 2019. The studio’s spy-themed I Expect You To Die is one of VR’s bigger success stories. The game crossed $3 million in total revenue late last year. Schell Games hasn’t announced what, if anything, it’s developing for Quest. Hopefully Until You Fall is coming to it, though.  Schell believes the standalone $400 Oculus Quest headset marks a major step forward in VR headset usability.

It is “going to have way lower barrier of entry than any other headset,” he told us.
