Sony Interactive Entertainment and First Contact Entertainment continue the surprisingly successful PlayStation VR title, but we’ll need the next-generation virtual reality headset to play it.
Here’s what they wrote about the game on the PlayStation Blog: “Firewall Ultra is the next evolution in the Firewall franchise. We’re taking advantage of the new features that the PlayStation VR2 offers, and we’re excited to give you a sneak peek into how we’ve used some of those features for Firewall Ultra. Set five years after the original game, the contractors and locations you’ve grown to love have evolved and moved into the next generation.
Since PlayStation VR2 offers a much higher level of visual fidelity with 4K HDR, we’ve entirely remade all character models. The maps have also been overhauled, with new areas and textures. There will also be new locations and contractors, but it wouldn’t be a Firewall game without the weaponry and equipment, which also feature a much deeper level of customization.
We’ve been listening to our community over the past four years, and we’re proud to announce that you’ll be playing Firewall Ultra on dedicated servers. We’re also adding rounds to the game, so each match will now be the best of three, and we’re adding an entirely new player-versus-environment experience. Plus, we have future content planned post-launch, such as new contractors, maps, and weapons. On top of all that, Firewall Ultra utilizes new PlayStation VR2 Sense Technology features like eye tracking, which enables you to intuitively swap weapons and bring up HUD indicators through cameras built into the PlayStation VR2 headset,” First Contact Entertainment said.
It could be great news for those who have grown to love this first-person shooter on PlayStation VR. The FPS genre is one of the hardest to create quality work in virtual reality. For this reason, we hope Firewall Ultra will set a new benchmark on PlayStation VR2. The only problem is that we don’t know when the game will be released.
