Devolver Digital denote thatGorn 2is arrive to SteamVR , Meta Quest , andPlayStation VR2later this year . Digital Trends went hands on with three of its levels onMeta Quest 3Sahead of its reveal , which point off its new weapon and familiar gore .
The originalGorn , a taxi and slash action game developed byAnger Footstudio Free Lives , launched for VR headsets in 2019 . It was a success on Meta Quest , betray over one million unitsas of 2021 . Its subsequence looks to retake that winner with a newfangled studio at the helm . Wandsdeveloper Cortopia Studios is leading the undertaking in coaction with Free Lives .
Gorn 2doesn’t switch up the original plot ’s formula too much , toss players into a serial of wave - ground prizefighter battles . The goal is to live on by slicing enemies up with oversized weapons and utilizing arena traps . The sequel will up the ante by giving players 35 weapon to dally with , from bows to floppy nuncucks to steak axes . It will feature five arena , and endless mode , and custom game options .
The slice I played dropped me into its 2d arena , where I cut my way through three storey . I got the hang of it quickly , as I picked up a sword and started hacking away at incoming meatheads . The morbid fun of Gorn 2 come from the fact that enemies can be hack aside . I quite literally disarmed an enemy by lopping his full arm off . I killed another instantly by whap in his skull with a giant mace . Others got shred into sheets that pose around the arena . Yes , it’sGornalright .
Traps are a expectant part of the subsequence , and I got a taste sensation of three dissimilar environmental hazard during my demonstration . The first were spinning blades that rotated around the arena . I could strike hard enemies into them to slice them up ( or just let them thread into them on their own ) . Another level was surrounded by giant spatulas that would now and then slap down on and beat anything under them . The final storey threw a fire quarry in the heart of the arena , which I could bebop enemy into and send them flying into the aviation .
All of that works in concert withGorn 2‘s physics , which can make unpredictable minute of emergent comedy . In one arena , an enemy swung a elephantine axe at me , but incidentally hit another enemy with it , who produce stuck to the brand . When the first enemy swing his steel again , the corpse attached to it strike a lava consortium and flew into the air travel . That yanked the foe bond to him back onto a spatula that had just off the ground . It swung back up as soon as he stepped on it , sending both of them flying . It was funniness Au .
There ’s plenty of more deliberate laughs pack into the three levels I play . I faced off against wimp who pooped bollock out at me as an onrush . The second field ’s last ended with me eating a soy steak , which shrunk me to the size of it of an insect . I had to kill full - sized enemy by pilfer at their legs and then get behind them over to a grillwork in the middle of the arena , turning them into material steaks that twist me into a giant .
If you enjoyedGorn , there ’s muckle of cause to depend onwards toGorn 2 , even with a new developer behind the helm . It await to save more laughs and ultraviolence than its predecessor that ’ll make you feel like a sadistic psychopath . That ’s theGornway .
Gorn 2launches later this yr on Steam VR , Meta Quest , and PlayStation VR2 .
