Press release:
The indie games developer Free Lives (“Broforce”, “Genital Jousting”) and the indie games publisher Devolver Digital are today super thrilled and happy to announce that their gladiatorial VR Sim “GORN” is now available on Oculus Quest.
“GORN” is a ludicrously violent VR gladiator simulator featuring a unique, fully physics driven combat engine where combatants creatively execute their most violent colosseum fantasies in virtual reality. The acclaimed VR game entered Early Access in 2017 to high praise and huge success despite players’ propensity to smash screens and tear down light fixtures in the heat of battle. One player even broke their coccyx.
Damage to personal property notwithstanding, GORN went on to become one of the top ten VR games in sales and user reviews on Steam, and even managed to brawl its way onto PSVR last year.
Free Lives spent over two years adding everything from new weapons and opponents to a custom language within the GORN universe. That last one is a joke that frankly just got out of hand until they had a full language and a five-track hip-hop EP in said language. And now it’s on Oculus Quest!
“What we do in VR echoes in eternity,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker.
