Smalland: Survive The Wilds VR Announced And Available For Preorder On Meta Quest
The Smalland: Survive The Wilds VR Announcement Trailer
A Virtual Reality spinoff of Smalland: Survive the Wilds was announced on March 28, 2024. It is now available for preorder on the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, and Meta Quest Pro. Unfortunately for PCVR and PSVR fans this title has not been released on those platforms.
Likely as with many VR spinoffs to flatscreen games, the developers at Merge Games have likely decided to target the burgeoning market of standalone Virtual Reality headsets with Smalland VR in lieu of or before the smaller and more expensive PCVR and PSVR markets.
Smalland: Survive The Wilds VR seems to be planned to be a very similar game to its flatscreen inspiration. It will be focused on survival, base building and upgrading, crafting equipment, and most notably and uniquely the taming of creatures. Hopefully, Smalland VR will bring a quality survival experience that includes creature taming, unlike the lackluster ARK VR port and standalone title.
Smalland VR is available for Pre-Order on the Meta Quest store for 24.99$. What follows is the press release given by the developer Merge Games:
“Today, Maximum Entertainment are thrilled to reveal ‘Smalland: Survive the Wilds VR’! Bringing the towering open world of ‘Smalland’ to players from a whole new perspective, take on entirely new stand-alone survival adventure in single player as you explore, scavenge, craft and build.
Play through a brand new story as you fight to gain a foothold in the perilous Overlands, battling the elements and the many colossal creatures that reside in the forest.
Available to pre-order now on the Meta Quest store, construct and design your encampment, tame creatures, and craft unique weapons, armour sets and more in this deeply immersive VR experience.”
It remains to be seen what caliber of VR game this will be, but I am hopeful that we have another great VR survival game in store in Smalland VR.
Full release is planned for the Spring of 2024.
