'Theseus' (ALL) Confirms Oculus Rift/HTC Vive Release This Fall

by Rainier on Sept. 12, 2017 @ 8:45 a.m. PDT

Theseus is a dark and mature action/adventure representation of the Greek myth of the Minotaur, designed specifically for Virtual Reality.

Theseus is an immersive VR experience that offers a new take on the myth of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth. Inspired by the ancient Greek myth, take on the role of Theseus as you explore the Labyrinth of the invulnerable Minotaur, using your cunning and stealth to find your way out of the darkness.

You wake up alone, stranded in a hostile, mysterious place. With Ariadne’s voice as your only guide, you explore alleys and chambers, venturing deep into the heart of the Labyrinth. In the distance, you can see a pillar of light. It shines in the darkness, beckoning you to go ever forward…

You have the chance to unveil the truth behind the Labyrinth, but soon you shall discover that you are not alone. The mighty Minotaur is the ruler of this world, and you are not a welcomed visitor.

By taking a cinematic approach to game development and building it specifically for virtual reality, Forge Reply is creating a story-driven action-adventure game that is perfectly suited for PS VR.

Forge Reply announced that its mythical adventure Theseus will launch on PC this Fall, on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

Formerly released for PlayStation VR, Theseus focuses on atmosphere and storytelling, with a third-person Virtual Reality format that can engage the players in new and innovative ways.

“With the PC release of Theseus, we aim to expand our reach and to consolidate our presence in the VR scenario,” said Filippo Rizzante, CTO at Reply. “PC fans have expressed the desire to play the game since the original announcement, and we are glad that soon they will be able to do just that.”

  • Theseus’ myth revisited in a fresh, innovative way
  • Story-driven action adventure with a dark tone
