The Outsiders, Lab42 and Funcom are bringing Metal: Hellsinger to new platforms so that virtual reality enthusiasts can experience what it’s like to smash and destroy your opponents to the sound of metal music.

Metal: Hellsinger is also coming to PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 2, according to the announcement. Funcom Chief Marketing Officer Erling Ellingsen wrote in a press release, “Metal: Hellsinger in virtual reality is a match made in heaven, or should I say hell. Even when we were working on the original, we fantasized about how exciting it would be to play in VR, and many fans have said the same. Now that fantasy is coming true, and there is no doubt that slaying demons to the rhythm of epic metal tracks, all in full-motion immersive virtual reality, is just as incredible as we imagined.”

The original acclaimed rhythm shooter, developed by The Outsiders and rated 96 percent positive on Steam, was built from the ground up for virtual reality in collaboration with Lab42 Games to take full advantage of the potential of virtual reality. With over three million players having made the Hells fear the beat since the release of Metal: Hellsinger, this year players will be able to step into the half-demon body of the Unknown. With access to their full arsenal of powers and weapons, they will be able to aim, move, slash and shoot with complete freedom in virtual reality.

Highly requested by the community, Metal: Hellsinger VR includes the game’s legendary original score, featuring artists such as Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Matt Heafy (Trivium), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Randy Blythe (Lamb of God), and more. Metal: Hellsinger burns bright in virtual reality with its meaty first-person gunplay, immersive world that pulsates to the rhythm of the music, and hypnotic, pulse-pounding gameplay flow. Aim two pistols independently, reload manually, and slash to the beat with your blade. Whether you want to move in full virtual reality, use the joystick, or even play sitting down, it’s all possible. Face off against the hordes of Hell in a thrilling quest to avenge the Red Judge, ruler of the Hells, in the full original campaign voiced by Troy Baker and Jennifer Hale. With the Red Judge defeated, Archdevil Difficulty and Torment challenges await.

Metal: Hellsinger VR is coming to PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest models and SteamVR later this year.
