Bethesda has this week confirmed the release dates for its line of virtual reality makeovers which will take the form of Skyrim VR, DOOM VFR, and Fallout 4 VR, following on from their previous announcement to make them available before the end of the year.
The highly anticipated Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR will be launching on the PlayStation VR platform on November 17th, 2017. Although no date has been given as yet to when it will be available on the HTC Vive, fans are eagerly awaiting further announcements. Skyrim VR promises to bring the expansive world of Tamriel to life like never before, offering players an immersive experience where they can explore, battle dragons, and complete quests in a fully realized virtual environment.
DOOM VFR and Fallout 4 VR Release Dates
DOOM VFR will also be available on the PlayStation VR as well as the HTC Vive via PC on December 1st, 2017. This version of DOOM is expected to deliver the same fast-paced, brutal gameplay that fans of the series have come to love, but with the added intensity of virtual reality. Players will be able to step into the shoes of a cybernetic survivor and fight their way through hordes of demons in a visceral VR experience.
Following shortly afterwards, Fallout 4 VR will launch on the HTC Vive on December 12th, 2017. Fallout 4 VR is set to be a groundbreaking release, as it will be the first time a full-scale open-world game of this magnitude will be available in virtual reality. Players will be able to explore the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Boston, build settlements, and engage in combat with a level of immersion that traditional gaming simply cannot match.
QuakeCon Announcements
The release dates for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR, Fallout 4 VR, and DOOM VFR were revealed in the announcements for the schedule of the upcoming QuakeCon event. This year’s annual QuakeCon celebration starts tomorrow, August 24th, and continues until the 27th. It takes place at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Centre in Dallas, Texas. QuakeCon is known for being a major event for Bethesda and id Software, where they often make significant announcements and showcase their latest projects.
QuakeCon attendees will have the opportunity to experience these VR titles firsthand, as Bethesda is expected to have demo stations set up for Skyrim VR, DOOM VFR, and Fallout 4 VR. This will give fans a chance to get a taste of what these games will be like in virtual reality and provide valuable feedback to the developers.
In addition to the VR titles, QuakeCon will feature a variety of other activities, including esports tournaments, developer panels, and community events. It’s a must-attend event for fans of Bethesda’s games and the broader gaming community.
The move to bring these iconic games into the realm of virtual reality is a significant step for Bethesda. It demonstrates their commitment to pushing the boundaries of gaming technology and providing players with new and exciting ways to experience their favorite titles. As VR technology continues to evolve, it’s likely that we will see more and more developers following in Bethesda’s footsteps and exploring the possibilities of virtual reality gaming.
