One of the first PSVR 2 games may just be revealed
With the PSVR 2 virtual reality headset officially announced by Sony for the PS5 (if not fully revealed yet), could we now see the first PlayStation VR 2 games start to rear their heads? Here's what's perhaps teasing developer Impulse Gear, the developer behind the exclusive PSVR blockbuster Farpoint (pictured above). It is revealed that he is working on a new VR game - it is the first new title since Farpoint was released three and a half years ago. Could it be Farpoint 2? And could it be one of the first games to launch on the PSVR 2? Being one of the biggest PSVR exclusive hits, Impulse Games is likely to want to replicate the success in any successor, but the developer has also said that this new title will be released in 2021. We expect PSVR 2 to be at least a few years away from the game. release, and while that doesn't rule out the appearance of this game on Sony headsets, this new title is more likely to be a game. Cross-platform VR, possibly including support for the Oculus Quest 2 headset, the HTC Vive family, and Valve Index. So it could be a spiritual successor to Farpoint, as those on other platforms probably aren't familiar enough with the existing story to justify an investment in a sequel.

So is this Farpoint 2?

It's not easy to discern exactly what is being said, but the alien-sounding voice seems to be saying something about using "violence to bring peace." So there's definitely a sci-fi angle, in keeping with Farpoint's setup. It saw you stranded on an alien Mars-like planet attacked by insects and giant robots, making excellent use of the PSVR Aim pistol to put you in the middle of heated firefights reminiscent of the movie Starship Troopers. Impulse Gear says that he'll be doing a "full reveal and announcement" soon, so it won't be long to wait to find out. We will keep you informed.
