A Haunting Revival: The 7th Guest Immerses into Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 & PC VR This Year

One of the most celebrated and influential PC games of all time is back, rebuilt from the ground-up using cutting-edge VR mechanics

Sydney, Australia – June 2nd, 2023 – At the Meta Showcase, publisher Vertigo Games and co-developers Vertigo Studios Rotterdam and Exkee unveiled their thrilling new project: The 7th Guest VR. This virtual-reality reimagining of the interactive mystery puzzle adventure, that helped revolutionise PC gaming, is to the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 and PC VR later this year.

Watch the Trailer: https://youtu.be/MbmvyKz_M3I

As Bill Gates astutely put it, The 7th Guest marked “the new standard in interactive entertainment” back when the original game launched in the mid-90s. Developed by Trilobyte and Virgin Interactive Entertainment, The 7th Guest was a pioneer in leveraging CD-ROM technology. The game garnered millions of fans globally due to its impressive pre-rendered 3D graphics, mature narrative, and use of live-action video clips to enhance its storytelling.

Now, the beloved dark mystery returns, entirely reimagined for VR gameplay and featuring additional enhancements to create the definitive way to experience The 7th Guest.

“I can still remember being mesmerised when I played the original. It all felt so real to me. And so mysterious! Being able to bring that iconic game to VR is a dream come true and I can’t wait to share the result with everyone”, says Game Director, Paul van der Meer.

Through innovative VR gameplay and the interpolation of live-action, volumetric storytelling, The 7th Guest VR invites players into a grandiose mansion filled with cryptic secrets and challenging puzzles, as they attempt to unravel the mystery surrounding the estate’s sinister owner, the toymaker Henry Stauf.

Other key gameplay elements include:

  • Volumetric Storytelling: The 7th Guest VR employs cutting-edge ghostly volumetric video capture with 3D live-action graphics and exquisite performances that help tell a visceral & haunting story.
  • A Narrative Legacy: Featuring the original story as written by Matthew J. Costello, The 7th Guest VR brings back characters like Martine Burden, Brian Dutton, Edward & Elinor Knox and others, as well as some surprise appearances.
  • Expertly-crafted VR Puzzle Gameplay: All-new puzzles that have been carefully redesigned to take full advantage of the technological possibilities of VR. The mansion’s many puzzles are all meaningfully connected to the main story and use recognisable aesthetic elements to pay homage to the original.
  • Dynamic VR Environments: The 7th Guest mansion awakens, as the environments are vividly realised with high-end visuals and VR-powered optical illusions. This immersive approach lets players delve into every corner of the haunted mansion and see how it changes around them as they unlock intricate puzzles and unveil cryptic clues.

Double jump over pizza boxes, land gravity-defying 720 flips, and execute combos for maximum points. Perform jaw-dropping grinds, tweaked grabs, and kickflips, all while completing daring missions to help friends in need. If things get sketchy, a bird can always try again! 

Every bird needs a moment in the spotlight and that’s easier than ever with the new Selfie Stick camera mode. Skaters with skills looking to peacock can utilize precise chase camera controls to capture that perfect mid-air 360 from any angle and preserve perfection forever. 

Show off some personality and skate in style with the new customization options for wheels, boards, and birds. Turn up those headphones to max volume and jam out to four new soundtrack titles, available on the official SkateBIRD EP, a new mini-album available now on Bandcamp, Spotify, and iTunes.

“We love seeing players make SkateBIRD their own and are looking forward to seeing what PlayStation users will bring to the skate park,” said Megan Fox, founder, Glass Bottom Games. “We’ve carved out a nest of loyal players and are excited to bring them this expansive update to continue their high flying sessions.”  

SkateBIRD is out now on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 for $19.99 and is currently available digitally on PC via itch and Steam, Nintendo Switch, Amazon Luna, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S for $19.99, and physically for Nintendo Switch via Amazon for $34.99, with language support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Traditional and Simplified Chinese.

LOS ANGELES – June 1, 2023 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality mobile games, has opened global pre-registration for its new collectible card game RPG, Tower of God: New World. Players who pre-register beginning today, on either Google Play or the App Store, and sign up on the official Discord channel will receive rewards when the game launches, including an SSR version of Twenty-Fifth Bam, among other items.

The “Tower of God” franchise began as a fantasy webtoon that centers around a boy named Twenty-Fifth Bam and his friend Rachel who dwell under a gigantic and mysterious Tower. It is believed that whoever reaches the top of the Tower will have their wishes granted. Seeking to improve her life, Rachel enters the Tower without Bam’s knowledge, and he follows shortly after her.

  • Story mode allows players to follow the story of Bam as progresses through the tower.
  • Adventure mode lets players put together their own team to complete the Administrators’ tasks while they make their way up the Tower.
  • More than 100 colorful characters will be available to collect, enabling players to create their own unique teams and playstyles.
  • Players will be able to equip new characters at high levels, without having to spend precious time leveling them up, via the Slot System.

Tower of God: New World features simple and in-depth strategic battles infused with a unique story developed in partnership with the original author SIU.
