Eagerly anticipated release pays bombastic homage to action cinema through slick, VR-first gameplay

VENDETTA FOREVER, the frenetic puzzle-shooter from developer MeatSpace Interactive and publisher nDreams is out now on Meta Quest and PlayStation® VR2. An unapologetic love letter to cult action cinema, VENDETTA FOREVER brings players’ ultimate movie protagonist power fantasy to life.

VENDETTA FOREVER fuses rapid-fire tactical gunplay with effortless acrobatic style.

“VENDETTA FOREVER is the game I’ve always wanted to make,” said Zander Dejah, Founder and CEO of MeatSpace Interactive. “The entire ethos behind VENDETTA FOREVER was to put the gameplay front and centre; no bloat, no bullshit, just pure, super-satisfying gunplay. I can’t wait for players to experience it for themselves.”

VENDETTA FOREVER features devious collectibles, game-changing modifiers, and online leaderboards to dominate. From raucous saloon shoot-outs to high-tech hijackings, each moment across VENDETTA FOREVER’s 60+ unique levels is a chance to live out an action movie power fantasy, all set to a pounding synthetic soundtrack.

A five-level demo of VENDETTA FOREVER that was released on the Meta Horizon Store alongside the game’s announcement has been met with widespread acclaim with TechRadar stating “it might just be the best shooter the Meta Quest 3 has to offer” and UploadVR praising the game’s “stylishly satisfying action”.
