Soul Covenant Brings Final Fantasy, NiER, Bloodborne Talent to VR

Thirdverse recently announced a brand new VR title, Soul Covenant. The game is currently playable at the Tokyo Game Show, but for those who can’t attend we have some interesting news about the game. Including the talent currently working at Thirdverse to bring it to VR players in early 2024.

Soul Covenant is a tactical action game. Set in a near-future desolate Japan, this game depicts a fierce battle between humanity and machines. The story is told through the eyes of the fallen and the experiences of the vanquished, players will find their sacrifices serve to guide your hand in retribution.

The game is being developed as the culmination of VR action that Thirdverse has cultivated so far. Previous titles include Swords of Gargantua, Altair Breaker and of course, the popular VR hero shooter, X8. Thirdverse’s strategy for this development is to assemble a team of exceptional creators in each field, such as story, music, and character design. Many of these creators have now been revealed.
