In Green Hell the player is dropped into the impenetrable, emerald depths of the Amazon rain forest; the Green Hell. Having no memory of how you got there, your goal is simple: survive. Stuck in a beautifully nightmarish environment, it will take fortitude of mind and the most primitive of means to escape.
With only a radio at your disposal the player will follow a familiar voice through a seemingly endless and ruthlessly inhospitable jungle. Bit by bit, you will unveil more of the mystery of how you came to be in this hostile situation, and what you discover just might be worse than what you fought so hard against to survive.
Clinging to life, the player is set on a journey of durability as the effects of solitude wear heavy not only on the body but also the mind. How long can you survive against the dangers of the unknown?
Brace for rumble in the jungle as Green Hell VR is coming to PS VR2 on August 15, 2023.
Become Jake Higgins, a famous anthropologist who finds himself lost in the Amazon jungle. Surrounded by various dangers and equipped only with his watch, backpack and handy survival guide, he must endure and make it back to civilization.
Take on the thrilling challenge and see how long you can last in the green hell of the rainforest. Craft various tools and weapons to fight back against predators, chop down trees, heal yourself or catch fish in the treacherous river. Build a shelter, grab a bow and get ready to survive – we wish you the best of luck, you’ll certainly need it!
PlayStation VR2 allows us to bring Green Hell VR to a new audience without making any sacrifices. Thanks to the amazing technology behind the Sense controller, you can feel every impactful action. Haptic feedback makes something as simple as pulling a bow string an immersive experience.
PS VR2 also offers headset feedback so you can feel everything more intensely, whether it be hand-to-hand combat, bug bites or our brave protagonist’s heartbeat. Combined with the feedback from PS VR2 Sense controller, the level of immersion is far, far deeper than even the most dangerous parts of the Amazon River.
Sound is another crucial factor in increasing player engagement in any virtual world. In the case of PS5 and PlayStation VR2, 3D Audio makes you feel more present in the rainforest, so you can not only see but also hear the nature around you – insects, rain… or the wildlife trying to hunt you down. Using the combined capabilities of PS VR2 and Wwise, we strive for the most precise and faithful representation of sounds of the jungle. We aim to achieve a unique sense of immersion and spatiality.
The visuals also help to immerse you in the game, especially when it’s a VR title. Green Hell VR offers high-quality graphics, believable environments and characters – all without sacrificing performance. It’s important that everything runs smoothly, and PS VR2 guarantees a stable frame rate.
Green Hell VR also features reworked lighting, high-res textures and realistic shadows – all that in native PS VR2 resolution – among other graphical enhancements, to add depth to the image. It’s a unique visual experience, and we’re excited to bring it to PlayStation fans around the world.
The jungle can be beautiful, interesting and, of course, dangerous. It’s the perfect place to fight for survival and explore the lush, green world.
The appearance of such an exotic place can vary depending on several aspects, such as the time of day or the changing weather. However, there are some distinguishing elements of the jungle aesthetic that can be identified, such as dense foliage. The environment has an air of mysticism and danger and has the ability to evoke a variety of feelings in those who visit it. The fact that it’s home to such a wide variety of plant and animal species not only adds to the visual appeal, but also makes it incredibly intriguing to many people.
In Green Hell VR, you can explore the harsh rainforest from the comfort of your own room. With PS VR2, you can really see how it feels to wade through the lush vegetation and make the jungle your home, if only temporarily. It is an immersive and sometimes quite scary experience, so be prepared!
