Detached Gets Teaser Trailer
Anshar Studios has announced the release date of Detached along with a new teaser trailer for the main story. The space survival game available only for virtual reality devices (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and OSVR) leaves the early access phase on Steam and the Oculus store on May 18th. Once-thriving human colonies in the far reaches of the cosmos are today just useless scrap. But to some they are no mere collections of metal.
Space scavengers traverse the galaxy in search of spoils. A deserted space station seems like a real treasure for two scavengers looking for loot. Another routine salvage. Everything is going according to plan. Suddenly, system alerts indicate a problem in the cargo area. It turns out that a group of scammers has infiltrated the station and will do anything to seize the its precious cargo. The startup procedure has been initiated. There’s no time for retreat.
Detached is set to have a number of features, including:
- Go Hardcore – Experience 360-degree freedom of movement, rotation, and acceleration in a sandbox environment built for VR headsets.
- Blast, Splinter, and Charge – Use the Shield, Boost, and EMP Rocket skills in both single-player and multiplayer modes. Hit targets with the homing missiles built into your suit. Master weapon cooldown times before your opponent gets the upper hand. Gain temporary immunity with the Shield skill. Exploit boost tunnels to gain a speed advantage.
- It’s Getting So Atmospheric – Discover the wide black yonder inspired by the sublimity of Gravity accompanied by a fully orchestrated score composed by Mikołaj Stroiński (The Witcher 3, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter).
- Astronaut Drills – Get to grips with your spacesuit’s controls in a zero-G environment through a dynamic tutorial before venturing into outer space. FPS-style steering will introduce newbies and those sensitive to VR playing to the hardcore VR experience.
Although Detached has been specifically designed for VR gaming, a desktop patch will be released soon in 2017. All gamers should also be aware that Detached is an extreme VR experience that simulates sudden and dramatic acceleration, freefalling, twisting, and rolling. Even at 90 fps, it is not for VR-sensitive players.
