Maze Theory, the developer behind the popular VR game Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom, has unveiled exciting new updates that are set to immerse players even further into the gritty world of the notorious Shelby family. With a new trailer and an updated Content Roadmap for 2023, Maze Theory continues to deliver free content updates, enhancing the gaming experience for fans.
The recently released trailer, showcased during the UploadVR Summer Showcase, provides a glimpse into the upcoming combat missions that will be introduced in the game. Players can look forward to thrilling new challenges as they navigate through intense confrontations. However, the highlight of the update lies in the addition of a brand-new social space that offers an interactive multiplayer experience.
This innovative social feature allows up to six players and their avatars to congregate, converse, and engage in various activities within the notorious Garrison Pub. Designed to foster camaraderie and interaction among the playerbase, the social space introduces entertaining mini-games like darts. Maze Theory envisions this feature as a way to promote emergent gameplay among players and extend the overall experience beyond the main narrative of the game.
The new social features will be available exclusively on Meta Quest 2, catering to the platform’s growing user base. Maze Theory aims to provide players with a fresh and exciting way to connect and enjoy the game, fostering a sense of community within the Peaky Blinders universe. Tim Jones, Game Director at Maze Theory, expressed his excitement about the upcoming update, stating, “This will be the biggest update for Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom to date – we believe players are going to love the new social space, which will bring a brand-new way for players to connect and enjoy the game.”
In addition to these exciting developments, Maze Theory announced a change in their DLC release strategy. Starting from July, the game will transition to a bi-monthly DLC format, allowing the development team more time to ensure high-quality updates that resonate with players. By adopting this approach, Maze Theory aims to deliver focused and meaningful updates that enhance the overall gaming experience. Fans can expect further thrilling announcements before the end of 2023.
Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom takes inspiration from the critically acclaimed BAFTA-winning television drama. The game features an original story developed in collaboration with Peaky Blinders’ producer and brand owner, Caryn Mandabach Productions, as well as series creator and writer, Steven Knight. The partnership with distributor Banijay has enabled Maze Theory to bring this captivating virtual reality experience to life.
