Firewall Ultra is the next evolution in the Firewall franchise, a live-operated first-person multiplayer shooter taking advantage of the new PS VR2 features.

Set 5 years after the original game, the contractors and locations you’ve grown to love have evolved and moved into the next generation. Since PS VR2 offers a much higher level of visual fidelity with 4K HDR, First Contact Entertainment have completely remade all character models. The maps have also seen a complete overhaul, with new areas and new 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.  

The developers have been listening to the community over the past four years, and announced that you’ll be playing Firewall Ultra on dedicated servers. They’re also adding rounds to the game, so each match will now be the best of three, and are adding an entirely new PvE experience. Plus, First Contact Entertainment have future content planned post-launch such as new contractors, maps, and weapons. 

After almost 8 years of working with the most amazing team I’ve ever have the pleasure of being part of, I’m sad to announce that we will be closing our company First Contact Entertainment by the end of the year.

The lack of support for VR within the industry has eventually taken its toll. As a AAA VR game developer, we are just not able to justify the expense needed gouging forward. We are a team of fearless innovators willing to push new technologies to its limits. I am extremely proud of the team and grateful to our investors, our partners and of course our community of dedicated and passionate players.

It’s been a wild ride, Thankyou!

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 PS VR2 headset.
