VR title, Ragnaröck, is leaving Early Access and going into a full release to bring Ragnaröck one step closer to us
The end of times is almost upon us with Ragnaröck just around the corner for us all to experience. No, I am not talking about the true end of it all, but the VR title that WanadevStudio has been working on and had in an Early Access state for a while now. The version of Ragnaröck that is a VR Rhythm game set around us striking drums to the beat of some massive songs to make our longships race. It is a fun little twist to the genre of games here and looks like it could lead to much more than just trying to score big in the game. Through points that is and not the other ways that rock stars are generally known for. No matter the case, it looks like the game is leaving Early Access and ready to hit us all on July 15th now.
If none of that makes sense, you can take a small look at Ragnaröck in motion from a while back here to see where it all started and how it could have evolved up to now. Not to mention that we get to hear and see some of the great songs from Gloryhammer, Alestorm, and others mixed in to give us all of that heart-pounding fun. Even if it does look like it might not be going well to the beat of the drums here. That may be by design as there are not that many newer songs out there that focus all on the percussions, but it could also just be how the early state of Ragnaröck was. It has been six months now and there is the announcement it will be hitting all of the PC platforms here, so we know it has in some ways. Only a few days until we know for certain.
Ragnaröck — Early Access
