World War Toons Update The Great Brawl Introduces Prototype VR Control Scheme

Free-To-Play first person shooter (FPS) World War Toons is introducing a large update to its game. Including new map, new characters and weapon skins and a new virtual reality (VR) control method.

Developer Studio Roqovan have announced the new map will be called The Great Brawl. The new map introduces new adorable panda characters, and there are other new characters being introduced with the update, such as a New York Rat, a Scottish Nessie and a military Chickenhawk. There will also be new legendary skins, British Bulldog Bobby, a robot rabbit and a shark with “a frickin’ laser on it’s head.”

There’s also a new prototype VR control scheme, designed for people who are not used to moving around in VR. It’s a teleport control scheme that minimises the motion sickness effects some people experience when in a virtual environment. The new  scheme is currently available for testing on the Basic Training map. Studio Roqovan are looking for feedback on it, so be sure to provide your thought at the official website.

Studio Roqovan themselves are an independent game studio based in Los Angeles. They previously went by the name Reload Studios. World War Toons was originally released in October 2016 for VR and non-VR platforms. The class-based FPS is a cartoonish take on World War 2 featuring animals.

The new update has its own trailer, which you can watch below.

World War Toons Gets New Map And VR Control Scheme In Update

World War Toons Gets New Map And VR Control Scheme In Update

Has it been a while since you dived into the wacky world of VR compatible multiplayer shooter, World War Toons by Studio Roqovan? You might want to give it a look over today; there’s plenty of new content inbound.

Headlining this update, seen in the trailer below, is a Chinese-themed new map called The Great Brawl. Set in the the wreck of the Axis team’s Dread Zepplin blimp, you’ll dart around a map unlike anything else seen in the game thus far. Also included are new weapons and player skins to decorate yourself with.

Perhaps more interesting on the VR front is a new prototype control scheme, which might help anyone that suffers from simulation sickness whilst playing. It’s a teleport option, which many developers use to comfortably move players from one spot to the next, but hasn’t really been utilised in VR multiplayer games that also use traditional stick-based locomotion before. Whether the control scheme works out with this mix remains to be seen, but for now it’s only available on the Basic Training map.

World War Toons is available now for free on PlayStation 4 in the US with optional PSVR support, and a closed PC beta is ongoing. There’s no word on when it might move into a full worldwide release on both platforms just yet.
