Press release:
BOSTON — July 13, 2023.
Get ready for an enhanced VR fantasy-adventure experience as “EOLIA“, the acclaimed successor in the award-winning Rhythm of the Universe series, welcomes explorers to embark or progress on their exhilarating journey across the enchanting and massively explorable Eolia. The much-anticipated “Quena’s Requiem” update is set to roll out on Meta Quest 2 and Pro today!

The substantial “Quena’s Requiem” update expands the core gameplay to a remarkable 8+ hours, featuring a formidable boss, the colossal sandworm-like Quena in an exhilarating musical theory-inspired showdown. This expansion also introduces highly sought-after improvements, including refined hand tracking, redesigned tutorials, and sweeping audio-visual upgrades across all maps.

Once a flourishing paradise, EOLIA now stands on the brink of ruin. With a massive storm looming and the inhabitants of EOLIA suffering under the oppressive Tritone army, it’s your mission to traverse ruins and endure harsh deserts to restore the desolate lands to their former splendor.

Dive into captivating puzzles centered on musical theory in this second installment of the award-winning Rhythm of the Universe series. Seamlessly switch between controllers and hand tracking to play musical instruments, commandeer mighty creatures, and interact with over 300 items.

In a significant nod to environmental responsibility, a portion of proceeds will be devoted to pertinent climate-conscious non-profits. EOLIA encourages gamers, students, teachers, and individuals of all ages to engage in compelling “what-if” narratives to grasp the critical importance of global conservation and climate-conscious initiatives.

“EOLIA mirrors Earth’s climate issues, and our objective is to not only entertain but gamify climate awareness by illustrating through the gameplay of Conga Dholak. You will find the levels in our new update to explore this same narrative,” said Jason Parks, CEO of ROTU.

The “Quena’s Requiem” update launches today on Quest 2 and Pro, supporting English voice and text, along with Simplified Chinese subtitles. Further language localization will be available in future updates.
