Popular online multiplayer sword-combat simulator VR game returns with a new sword and offline mode
Thirdverse today announced that its hit multiplayer sword-combat simulator VR game SWORDS of GARGANTUA is returning to the Meta Quest and Steam Stores for Quest 1, Quest 2, Rift, and PCVR devices on March 2nd, 2022. The SWORDS of GARGANTUA relaunch will mark a significant milestone as Thirdverse’s engineering team completes the migration of the game’s infrastructure to a new system and the development of a new offline mode. Players who previously purchased SWORDS of GARGANTUA will have access automatically when the game relaunches on March 2nd.
SWORDS of GARGANTUA initially launched in 2019 and has been a fan favorite with high ratings and reviews over the years. In this relaunch of the game, players will continue to be able to play online in co-op with up to 3 other players, and also now be able to play offline in single-player mode to practice their sword-combat skills. Additionally, a new sword will be offered that brings tremendous strength, among the existing wide variety of weapons available, including one and two-handed swords, axes, maces, boomerangs, shields, and more.
Realistic VR Swordsmanship: Swing, stab, crush, and parry. Wield over 170 discoverable weapons and fight your way through 101 floors of enemies hell-bent on stopping you from reaching the colossal end-boss, Gargantua.
Rogue-lite Action: Each play-through gives different floor advancement choices along the way; play it safe, but it’ll take more battles to reach the end, or skip to a deeper level and be cursed with major disadvantages and debuffs while fighting tougher enemies.
Character Progression: Keep all the weapons, items, coins, and stat upgrades collected through each play permanently. Take excess weapons and combine them to make stronger versions to aid in progressively difficult battles.
Co-op Multiplayer: Play with up to three other adventurers. Call the shots with native voice chat and defeat the mighty Gargantua.
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, Meta Quest, Meta Quest 1, Meta Quest 2, PCVR
