'Detached' (ALL) Will Drop PC VR Requirement, Gets Cross-platform PvP Mode - Trailer

by Rainier on June 5, 2018 @ 1:20 p.m. PDT

Detached is a suspenseful interstellar duel that demands tactics and skill to survive. Separated from your unit you must make smart decisions and race to safety in this visceral exploration of deep space.

Trapped in an abandoned space station, you must race against borrowed time to find your crew before your oxygen supply runs out. As you solve puzzles to open airlocks, locate power cores and disable transmitters, something tells you that you won’t be alone when you finally escape into the universe’s deep infinity.

These are the tenets of deep space society. Detached drops you at the edge of a universe destroyed by human misrule and extortion. Thanks to years of warfare and greed, the human colonies in deep space are no more. The great factions have crumbled; the corrupt corporations have dissolved.
Most people adhere to the last remaining code of humanity: no killing. But in the lonely expanse of space where resources are low, many are willing to bend the rules to survive.

Detached isn't just a game; it’s an experience. Unlike many games where VR is a mere expansion, VR is the primary asset of Detached. To complete the game, you must master the controls of your EVA spacesuit and develop your ability to move in a realistic zero-G environment.

Put your skills to the test in both single-player and multiplayer modes. Multiplayer pits you against your friends in an entirely new take on capture the flag. Race against each other to gather the necessary skills and complete your mission. Every second is precious, and every choice you make can mark the difference between life and death.

Single-player mode makes full use of the VR headset, giving you the chance to interact with the tranquil expanse of space. Beta players have lauded Detached’s sandbox environment that encourages players to enjoy the types of experiences normally only felt by astronauts.

Not only will PSVR owners soon be able to immerse themselves in a stunning space experience, but gamers who don’t own a VR headset will also get their chance to try their luck in Detached. But’s that’s not all: they’ll be able to compete with other players in thrilling multiplayer modes and it doesn’t matter whether they own a HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, PSVR or PC only!

Got PSVR and want to play online with your best friend, but they only own an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive? Fear not, the Anshar Studios devs have got you covered! With their amazing development approach, they were able to…

Hang on – let’s drop this whole marketing babble for once and be honest here. In fact, we’re ready to bet dollars to doughnuts you’re probably the only VR freak in your neighborhood, and you always have a hard time finding anybody who even HAS a VR headset, not to mention owning one that’s the same kind as yours. So, it’d be pretty sweet to finally end the struggle and actually be able to play with somebody online regardless of the platform they’re gaming on, don’t you think? And that’s precisely where Detached steps in: it doesn’t matter whether you own an Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PSVR, or even if you have one at all, you’ll still be able kick your buddy’s butt (or get your butt kicked) in one of the game’s PvP modes.

Detached was first released on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive and the game is now planned to launch on PlayStation VR and on Steam as a non-VR version on July 6th this year.

Sony’s VR headset owners will be able to get Detached for $24.99 / 24.99 EUR, while the Steam non‑VR version will be available for $14.99. There’s even a free desktop demo version of the game that will soon be available too!

Key Features

  • Addictive single-player mode – Gives you the chance to survive in weightlessness, with rapidly decreasing oxygen and fuel reserves.
  • Advanced EVA space suit – Additional modules such as shields, boosts, and homing missiles will become your best friends as you wade through the reactor core or knock down enemy drones.
  • 2 multiplayer modes:
    • Package Extraction – An exciting battle for cargo in the middle of nowhere. Use all possible means to attack your opponent and gain an advantage. Avoid attacks to get back to base in one piece.
    • Race – It's a real roller-coaster ride! Racing between pieces of broken shuttle and large asteroids requires not only agility, but above all the ability to anticipate. One thoughtless move and you’ll crash when you least expect it.
  • Up to 45 achievements to unlock in single-player mode and multiplayer. Get all of them and prove that space is your second home. Defeat rivals in PvP mode to dominate the leaderboards.
  • Full support for the DualShock 4 controller in PSVR version of the game.

This is an extreme VR experience that simulates sudden and dramatic acceleration, freefalling, twisting and rolling. Even with the 90 FPS frame rate, it is not for VR-sensitive players.
