The Samobor-based (Croatia) indie games publisher and developer Pine Studio, are today very glad and thrilled to announce that the VR version of their co-op first-person “Escape Simulator“, is soon coming to PC via Steam in the shape of “Escape Simulator VR”!

Furthermore, Pine Studio today also released a roadmap showcasing the future of Escape Simulator, confirming that a VR version of the game is in the works, among other things…!

Escape in VR!

Escape Simulator is a first-person co-op escape room puzzler you can play by yourself or together with others. Since its release in October 2022, nearly 2 million puzzle and escape room fans from all over the world have played the puzzle game. Players have been asking for a VR version ever since the game’s original release, and now developer Pine Studio has published a roadmap confirming just that. Escape Simulator is coming to VR!

The base game and all the additional free rooms, such as Leonardo’s Workshop, as well as the previously released DLC’s Steampunk and Wild West, will be playable in VR. And what’s more – the community rooms will also be included in the VR version of Escape Simulator. This means that players will be able to enjoy the more than 3.000 rooms, custom-built by fans of the game.

It is now possible to wishlist Escape Simulator VR on the Steam Store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2440240/Escape_Simulator_VR/.

Just for this exciting announcement, Pine Studio has released a new trailer showcasing a glimpse of the VR gameplay: https://youtu.be/ujc7uMIzXrg.

Future escape plans

The plans for Escape Simulator VR are part of Pine Studio’s roadmap that was published today, which showcases additional future plans that the developer has for the co-op game. This roadmap includes more content, such as two new free rooms and another free update that will be released this summer.

As the roadmap shows, that’s not all the developers have planned for Escape Simulator. Players can expect something big later this year, and Pine Studio can also share that they have joined hands with various well-known gaming brands to bring forth new, exciting Escape Rooms for players. The first of these will be released in September this year. More information about these projects will be released soon.
