FRENZIES' EARLY ACCESS LAUNCHES THIS THURSDAY AND IT'S FREE!
Near Light's bombastic PvP shooter to open its arena doors to Meta Quest players; regular content changes to drop throughout Early Access
Let the games begin! FRENZIES, the highly anticipated PvP VR shooter is launching in Early Access this Thursday, October 10, for FREE on the Meta Horizon Store.
Early Access will give players a first taste of FRENZIES' unique blend of fun and chaos with a medley of round types, arenas, cosmetics and weapons available from day one. Much like FRENZIES' lucky dip premise, the game's content will regularly switch up during Early Access to keep things fresh and engaging.
Throughout Early Access, the development team will be listening to the FRENZIES' community and taking their feedback onboard as they shape the ongoing development of the game in the build-up to its full launch.
Developed by Near Light: an nDreams Studio, FRENZIES fuses multiplayer mayhem with nDreams’ award-winning gunplay (Fracked and Synapse), throwing players into a winner-takes-all showdown with a bravado-laden twist.
"FRENZIES' Early Access is fast-paced, fun-filled and best of all, free" said Paul Mottram, Head of Studio, Near Light. "We can't wait to throw open the arena doors on Thursday and bring the FRENZIES community with us on our journey towards the game's full release."
Each five-round match in FRENZIES is a chaotic lucky dip of iconic and unconventional, solo and team-based round types, from the tense Red Light, Green Light to the brilliantly absurd Glitter Pig. With such a variety of round types in the mix, the experience stays fresh and momentum can swing in an instant, giving every player the chance to strut their stuff.
FRENZIES will launch on Meta Quest and PlayStation VR2 soon with more information on the game's full release to be revealed in the coming months via the FRENZIES X account, TikTok, Instagram, and Discord.
