Serious Sam VR gets Mental on Steam Early Access, October 17

The virtual Croatians of Croteam and pseudo-real publisher Devolver Digital announce Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope is hitting Steam Early Access on October 17. The first-person virtual shooter is £39.99 and supports HTC Vive with support planned for the Oculus Rift upon release of the Oculus Touch controllers.

In Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope, players are transported to the first Mental War. Earth’s defence forces are crumbling under the hordes of the vicious Mental. He managed to break the will of many nations by destroying the ancient shrines of the domestic people. A fearless EDF general, Sam ‘Serious’ Stone, is leading the resistance from the Battlecruiser Saratoga in a desperate attempt to save the galaxy.

For the first time, immerse yourself in the universe of Serious Sam – travel the galaxy, meet interesting aliens, and blow the sh*t out of them all in a mind-blowing, fast-paced, guns-blazin’ virtual reality environment. Get into the action immediately after choosing one of several missions, drop in and start wreckin’ faces. With new enemies and old favourites, players will pick up and master a variety of increasingly insane weaponry – this is serious business, after all. Use your power ups to navigate your skill tree to be the boldest, biggest and most virtual Sam you can be. Customise or upgrade your gear on the Saratoga battlecruiser in-between missions using in-game currency that has nothing to do with real-world currency.

Get ready to strap it on and get shooting.
