What's Happening?
Polyarc, a game development studio founded by former Bungie developers, has announced the release of 'Moss: The Forgotten Relic' for PC and consoles, eliminating the need for a VR headset. This new installment combines the original 'Moss' and 'Moss: Book
2' into a single, non-VR experience. The game, set to release this summer, features Quill, a mouse protagonist, who embarks on a journey through an ancient realm filled with puzzles, combat, and platforming challenges. The studio aims to bring the wonder and mystery of the Moss series to a broader audience by making it accessible on more platforms.
Why It's Important?
The decision to release 'Moss: The Forgotten Relic' on PC and consoles without requiring VR equipment is significant as it opens up the game to a wider audience. VR gaming, while innovative, is often limited by the high cost of VR headsets and the space required to use them. By making the game available on traditional platforms, Polyarc can reach players who may not have access to VR technology, potentially increasing their market share and fan base. This move could also set a precedent for other VR-exclusive games to consider non-VR adaptations, broadening their reach and accessibility.
