4A Games announces preorders are now underway for
ARKTIKA.1, a post-apocalyptic
shooter that will be the first virtual reality game from 4A Games, developer of
the
Metro series. This can be ordered through the
Oculus Store,
and they say it will be released on October 10th, along with a companion eBook,
which is detailed
on this page. There are details on what to expect in
this post, which also includes a
trailer from last year
and a more recent
weapons
gameplay trailer. Here's word on the game:
The year: 2120. Following
a failed last-ditch effort to combat the effects of global climate change,
humanity descends into a new ice age. Nations collapse, resources are
increasingly scarce, and small pockets of civilization struggle to survive.
You play as a mercenary hired by Citadel Security to protect a colony in the
Vostok region of what used to be Russia.
Chances of survival may seem about as bleak as the frozen landscape, but an
impressive weapons arsenal just might tip the odds in your favor.
