zenith: the last city – Page 3 – Augmented & Virtual Reality Confabulation

Zenith: The Last City is an upcoming VRMMORPG by indie studio Ramen VR. Following a successful 2019 Kickstarter for the game which raised $280,000, the studio has released a new trailer and confirmed the game will launch on PSVR and Quest, in addition to PC VR and PC.

Zenith is aiming to deliver an anime-inspired VRMMORPG that’s built specifically for VR and includes cross-play between platforms.

This week we’re getting a fresh look at the game’s development progress thanks to a new trailer:

Ramen VR says the trailer is a look at what players can expect from Zenith’s upcoming closed Alpha, which is expected this year (the studio has promised to reveal a firm release date in the next week).

Zenith: The Last City had been aiming to support Oculus Quest and PSVR (in addition to PC VR and PC) from the outset. But just because a studio wants to have their game on Quest or PSVR doesn’t mean they will necessarily be able to, due to the closed nature of those platforms.

Fortunately the studio announced this week that it’s gotten the greenlight from both Oculus and Sony to officially ship Zenith: The Last City on Quest (the main store) and on PSVR.

While prior closed pre-Alpha versions of the game have required that players sign an NDA to avoid leaks, in the upcoming closed Alpha players will be allowed to share their experience through external media even if access to the Alpha is gated.

Anyone interested in the Zenith Alpha can guarantee access by pre-ordering the game starting on March 10th; the Alpha will be available on PC VR and Quest but not PlayStation VR. We’ve reached out to the developers for clarity.

Developers Ramen VR previously announced during the Kickstarter campaign (where it raised over $280k) that the game was in development for PC VR, Quest, and PSVR, in addition to non-VR PC platforms, but today the PS Blog made the PSVR version official.

In the reveal post there wasn’t any truly “new” information shared about the game like a big new feature or release date, but the new screenshots and trailer embedded above all look absolutely gorgeous.

A couple weeks ago we got a fresh close-up look at combat in Zenith showing off the frantic melee slashing of its Beat Saber-inspired gameplay. Now, we’re getting a much wider view of the world with some great shots of the vistas and landscapes.

Zenith will feature an expansive world and will even let you climb mountains on your adventure across the ravaged land. There are major JRPG undertones in its setting and vibe as well, although it’s not a turn-based combat game.

In the blog post, there are some lore details as well:

Our game has beautiful, hand-crafted environments that you’ll spend hours getting lost in. From lush canopies in the Amarite Forest, to turquoise blue waters at the Radiant Coast, to the hyper futuristic city of Zenith itself, we’ve built a stylized fantasy world dripping with detail. Of course beautiful scenery is only one part of making Zenith feel like a living world, we’ve also invested lots of time on lore, infusing the setting with intricate details that bring it to life.

Set generations after a cataclysmic event known only as The Fracture, players will be drawn into an engrossing tale as they fight man and gods alike to prevent catastrophe from striking again. Using the power of Essence, the magical lifeblood of all living beings, players will grow increasingly powerful as they adventure together — meeting a colorful cast of champions and villains along the way.

Upcoming VR MMO Zenith is slated to hit PSVR, Quest, and PC VR. According to its Steam page, it’s slated for this year.
