Press release:
Independent developer Free Lives ( Broforce, Genital Jousting ) and virtual game publisher Devolver Digital (also Broforce, Genital Jousting ) are today very thrilled to celebrate the launch of VR sensation “GORN” for PlayStation VR!

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 dislocated their knee cap. Damage to personal property notwithstanding, GORN went on to become one of the top ten VR games in sales and user reviews on Steam!

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 PlayStation VR!

“What we do in VR echoes in eternity,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker.
