Skully’s Fantastic Fails update
In addition to the iPhone and iPad rollout, the Skully’s Fantastic Fails update will arrive on the same day for all supported platforms.
The update will allow players to explore the Courtyard with Skully for the first time. Skully will have hundreds of new reactions and voicelines to grace players with, and experiment with a new rocket launch section with explosive results. Furthermore, the update will also feature a range of new character reactions in the Tower, and a fully redesigned menu. A detailed in-game Waltz Codex is now filled with new activities and hidden interactions information to discover.
A Brief History of Waltz of the Wizard
As mentioned, Waltz of the Wizard has a long history in VR. It was originally released in 2019 for PCVR headsets, before additional ports brought it to Meta Quest, PSVR/PSVR 2, PS5 and Steam Deck. It’s a veteran of the VR space, often compared alongside the likes of Job Simulator and Beat Saber as a ‘must-play’ title.
