Developer Downpour Interactive and publisher Coatsink are pleased to announce Onward, the hugely popular VR tactical shooter will be releasing on Oculus Quest alongside the existing Steam & Oculus Rift platform version.
Onward is now available on the Oculus Quest store and priced at $24.99.
Onward combines mil-sim gameplay with the experience of playing in virtual reality. Players cannot rely on crosshairs or mini maps, instead you rely on coordination and communication with your squad. In order to succeed at your objective. Realistic combat mechanics and artificial locomotion will push your combat survival skills to their limit as you engage in infantry combat across a large variety of maps and combat situation
Onward’s Key Features
- Crossplay support – Take to the battlefield with your friends, no matter what platform you’re playing on. Players who use the Oculus Quest will be able to join their friends using Oculus Rift or SteamVR compatible headsets in battle.
- Solo and co-op game modes – Take on AI enemies to hone your skills against our AI opponents. Chase down all enemies in a Hunt, or hold off the enemy forces as you wait for your extraction in an Evac mission. Explore maps freely or go to the shooting range to familiarise yourself with the wide variety of weapons in the game, all of which are unique and require knowledge to operate.
- Multiplayer battles with up to 10 players – Take to the online battlefield in a high stakes clash with up to ten people and best your enemies on a strategic and tactical level. Choose one of three objective based modes where you need to fight for control over an Uplink station, get the VIP to safety (or prevent it), or secure an area long enough to upload a code through your tablet.
- Two unique factions with a wide variety of weapons – Onward focuses the battle between the modern militaristic MARSOC faction which has access to modern weapons including the AUG, M16, M1014 P90 and the M249 light machine gun and the insurgent Volk forces who utilise weapons such as the AKS74U, the Makarov, and even an RPG launcher. This is only a small sample of what awaits in game.
“I’m incredibly excited for Onward to come to the Oculus Quest: to have players be inspired by the freedom of the platform while at the same time experiencing the realism and immersion that Onward brings to the table. And I think I speak for my whole team when I say we’re excited to see our players get their hands on the game after almost a year of development.”
– Dante Buckley Founder, Downpour Interactive
