Anomaly: New VR Extraction Shooter Launching on Quest Next Month

Get ready for Anomaly, the freshest extraction shooter from the team behind Swarm, slated to hit Meta Quest this December. Greensky Games, known for their dynamic creations Swarm and Swarm 2, has rolled out Anomaly, whisking players into a 2050 dystopia. In this fragmented urban landscape, you’ll face off against other squads and eerie monsters, each on a mission to seize and successfully extract a coveted Artifact.

Whether you’re a lone wolf or prefer squad tactics with friends in two- or three-person teams, Anomaly offers thrilling gameplay. The rules are as intense as ever: outsmart and outgun rivals, challenge AI adversaries, gather all the gear you can, and make your daring escape. But remember, if you fall, all your hard-earned loot vanishes with you.

In a recent statement, Peter Le Bek, the mind behind Greensky Games, shared some insights about Anomaly’s design inspiration. “We took the core elements of escape-centric shooters like Escape from Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown and kicked it up a notch. It’s about much more than just action; it’s the ambiance and the exhilarating rush of making it out alive, balanced with the tension of potential loss. This VR-tailored extraction shooter immerses you in a way that traditional games just can’t replicate, ensuring that every match resonates with its own intensity.”

For those eager to get an early taste, a Closed Beta is ongoing, and aspiring participants can register now. Keep an eye out as Anomaly makes its debut on the Meta Quest Store in early December.
