Studio and publisher Skydance Games offered a first look at gameplay for its upcoming action adventure VR game, Skydance's BEHEMOTH, slated to release later this year. The gameplay trailer offers viewers a glimpse of the breathtaking traversal gameplay, brutal physics-based hand-to-hand combat and larger-than-life boss battles that await them.Skydance's BEHEMOTH tells an original story set in the Forsaken Lands, the plague-ravished wasteland of a once glorious empire, where its inhabitants are driven mad and cities have fallen to ruin. Players take on the role of a cursed warrior embarking on a perilous quest to rid the Lands of an insurmountable threat: the monstrous Behemoths.In glorious VR fashion, this treacherous journey will bring the warrior to their limits, requiring their wits, skills, and unyielding determination to overcome whatever brutality the Forsaken Lands have in store for them.

Also on PC.

Also on PC.

Is this true? or wishful thinking? If it's on PC I'll buy it.

Edit-Looks like I'm buying it. The Skydance website lists PC and Meta.

 

[Come On Tars]

WIsh there was more discussion on this. Looks INCREDIBLE. Saints and Sinners is one of the best VR experiences out there and the devs next move looks like a cross of Asgard's Wrath and blade and sorcery. It's gonna bang.

 

[ABnormal]

My most anticipated game this year. I can't wait to dive into that world to explore, scavenge, craft and fight in a true physics-based way as Skydance standards. In S&S was so satisfying. Here there's also proper combat.

Funny bit of trivia since you mentioned the word "sorcery", the makers of Saints and Sinners at Skydance were originally a short-lived (but veteran-run) company called The Workshop, and that studio originally made a PS3 PlayStation Move game called Sorcery. Although they only did that one Move game, their work there ended up being kind of a trial run with Move for what would be their claim to fame in VR. (There's also a little bit of crossover with Behemoth and Sorcery, although that game was more magic-combat based and this is more visceral hand-to-hand, but they do a bit of combo moves in both.)

Looks cool. Might buy it.

 

[cyberheater]

Looks really good. I wonder how the Quest 3 version will look compared to the PC one?

Gonna be interesting because we haven't seen any big games that specifically push Quest 3 hardware without the need of a Quest 2 version. This is one of those games along with Alien and Batman.

Is this supposed to be a light or medium RPG?

 

[R6Rider]

Will be buying this on PSVR2 as long as it's not buggy. The combat and scale look insane.

 

[Solarstrike]

Draugoth here's another video without age-gate.

 

[Hudo]

Combat looks more janky than Dark Messiah. Maybe they'll fix it up until release...

 

[MrRenegade]

This looks like a day 1 failure.

 

[drezz]

Dark Messiah

It did give some Dark Messiah vibbes with the spikes on the wall that we could kick enemies into, but here he throws them.
Hope there is a Kick button so we can have a bit of a montage like 100 miles kick vid.

It was announced for multiple platforms first. I can see why you’re confused though, considering OP and Sony want to make people think its an exclusive.

Would improve this game 100% percent.

 

[Wonko_C]

Here's more gameplay that is a bit less cut.

 

[Romulus]

It looks promising. I like the physicality of the combat and the superhuman strength aspect that makes for some interesting moments.

 

[PanzerCute]

Previews dropped and it looks really, really good. Apparently the campaign should be around 10 to 12 hours and the game uses every PSVR2 features.

Oh and its only gonna be 40 bucks.

Easy day one purchase, especially considering the devs pedigree.

Yeah this looks like an easy buy especially given the talent of the studio with saints and sinners

I don’t know why people are complaining about psvr2 support - it was always going to come from smaller studios like this

It seems to me like most psvr2 owners are happy and the people complaining aren’t into vr

I'm not complaining. I use my VR2 regularly and have already got my moneys worth.

I learned that too a few months back. Dug out the PS3 camera and Move controllers, ordered Sorcery and was quite shocked to learn that they morphed into Skydance. Great studio. Alyx always gets mentioned as the GOAT VR title but I'd argue that S&S is in that conversation too.

Will cop day one.
