Meta Quest exclusive Asgard’s Wrath 2 gets new gameplay trailer /

Asgard’s Wrath 2, a new VR RPG available exclusively for the Meta Quest, will be released on December 15, 2023, and revealed its launch trailer at The Game Awards 2023. Showcasing a highlight reel of the player battling fantasy monsters, climbing ancient buildings, and interacting with NPCs, the video gave Meta Quest owners a taste of what awaits them on this adventure. Voice actor Matt Mercer, who plays Loki in the game, did the honors of presenting the trailer.

You can check out the Asgard’s Wrath 2 launch trailer below:

Asgard’s Wrath 2 is the sequel to the 2019 original, which reached a score of 88 on Metacritic and was nominated as the Best VR Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2019, being lauded as the most ambitious and well-executed game of its kind up to this point – the upcoming title has big shoes to fill.

According to the official description, the new game features open areas to explore, large-scale puzzles to solve, and over 100 hours of content altogether. Landscapes from the deserts of old Egypt to the snowed-in mountains and forests of Scandinavia will be available for players to discover. Asgard’s Wrath 2 promises intense battles with gods and creatures of myth, which will adapt to what the player is doing by changing their battle tactics on the fly.

For a limited time after launch, a bundled version of the Meta Quest 3 will be available that has Asgard’s Wrath 2 included with the headset, so this seems like a good time for anyone already interested in the hardware to get into it.

Asgard’s Wrath 2 is being developed and published by Meta’s Oculus Studios, which acquired the makers of the original game, Sanzaru Games, in 2020 as one of its first-party developers.
