Action-packed Virtual Reality Game Orion13 is Available Now for All Major VR Headsets

BOSTON - June 15, 2020 - PRLog -- Metro VR Studios (MVRS), a Boston-based start-up and independent virtual reality (VR) video game development company, announced the full release of their inaugural title Orion13, expanding its availability to the rapidly growing audience of virtual reality gamers. The much-anticipated full release is now available on the Oculus Store supporting Rift, RiftS and Quest headsets using QuestLink, and will also be available June 25th on Steam, supporting the HTC Vive, Index and Cosmos headsets in addition to Microsoft Mixed Reality.

The full release introduces numerous additional gameplay features to satisfy hardcore gamers, including improved hand tracking, augmented locomotion and movement, enhanced AI, turning and graphics mode optimizations, an improved Battle Arena with cross-platform Leaderboard and more. Alongside the story mode gameplay, which features increasing difficultly and more skilled enemies, the arena mode provides players an opportunity to hone their combat skills and compete against other players' scores on a global leaderboard that incorporates both Oculus and Steam users.

MVRS released Orion13 on Steam for Oculus Rift in early-access February 13, 2020. "Our goal was to obtain developer, user, influencer and press feedback," said Michael Clebnik, CEO of MVRS. "It was great to get their input and critical validation of our hard work. Within the past two months, we have incorporated many of the functionality suggestions from these groups, and we have really fine-tuned the experience. We are excited to bring Orion13 to the full PC-based VR marketplace."

Scott Matalon, co-founder and president of MVRS, said, "We wanted to create a unique VR title filled with action and adventure that would transport gamers out of their homes into another reality altogether. Orion13 embodies that vision, while pulling inspiration from pop-culture classics for the game's aesthetics and movie-like feel. People are beginning to realize the power and entertainment value of VR gaming, and its popularity is booming. We're excited to be a part of the VR movement with Orion13 and look forward to the release of other titles currently in development."

The first installment of a planned trilogy, Orion13 is a futuristic VR sword fighting game that features intense first-person hack-and-slash combat, complex full-body challenges, and a cinematic story arc complete with a cast of friends and deadly foes. The story-driven adventure fully immerses players in a robot-ruled, dystopian world where they take on the role of the eponymous Orion13—a newly self-aware robot warrior who believes her memory implants are her own. She has just one mission: to find her way home.
