Teravision Games, the team behind the zany Captain ToonHead vs The Punks from Outer Space, is preparing another off-the-wall VR adventure. Coming soon to Meta Quest headsets is Orcs Must Die: By The Blade, a VR reimagining of the popular flatscreen game.
An Orc VR Party
The Orcs Must Die! franchise has been around for over 10 years, developed by Robot Entertainment. An action-packed tower defence game where players must protect fortresses from rampaging orcs, players need to place traps as well as tackle the green beasts head-on.
Orcs Must Die: By The Blade is being built from the ground up for VR, with Teravision Games keeping to the spirit of the franchise whilst adding its own unique immersive flavour. In this edition, players will be able to swing swords, block, parry and counter enemies, deploy 15 different traps and complete VR-exclusive challenges.
The arsenal of weapons and traps available are all upgradable as players journey through the three full chapters spanning across 12 levels. Furthermore, there will be a co-op mode, so players don’t need to fight the countless orcs alone.
“Working on this game has been an absolute dream come true! The Orcs Must Die franchise was our biggest inspiration when we created our beloved Captain Toonhead VR game,” said LD Zambrano, Creative Director in a statement. So, having the immense privilege of applying this experience in bringing Orcs to VR is definitely a crazy full-circle moment for us. This is truly a game made by fans with the utmost respect and love for the franchise, but specifically crafted for VR.”
