PSVR 2 Set to Receive ‘Deep Rock Galactic’-Inspired Action with ‘Into Black’ Release

The indie studio, The Binary Mill, is set to launch its space mining adventure, Into Black (2024), on the PSVR 2. This move will broaden the reach of the game, which was previously exclusive to the Quest platform. Fans of games like Deep Rock Galactic will likely be thrilled as this game shares similar gameplay elements but adds its unique twists.

If you haven’t played it yet, the game tosses you into a world where both solo and team efforts are key. As you sweep through more than 20 levels, each featuring distinct biomes, you’ll collect resources, enhance your tools, and fix up your spaceship. As you venture through these levels, you’ll confront a variety of adversaries aiming to halt your progress. The ultimate goal? Gather what you need to escape a perilous alien terrain.

A new feature in the PSVR 2 version is the ‘Singularity’ mode. Here, the stakes are higher as you can clash with 11 other competitors online. It’s not just about battling foes; it’s about forming and breaking alliances, while the environment poses its own challenges. The key is to loot smartly. Being too greedy might have you leaving empty-handed or not at all.

What’s catching everyone’s eye is the significant overhaul Into Black has undergone for its PSVR 2 debut. The developers have amped up the visuals with remastered landscapes and advanced lighting, including dynamic shadows and HDR. The PSVR 2’s features bring more immersion with eye-tracked foveated rendering and heightened haptics, thanks to its adaptive triggers and the headset’s rumble function.

As of now, there’s no confirmation on whether players can engage across both Quest and PSVR 2 platforms. However, inquiries have been made, and we hope to share more details soon. The wait for a full-fledged trailer continues, but the studio has teased players with some impressive visuals of what’s in store for PSVR 2.

While Into Black hasn’t got an exact launch date on PSVR 2, it’s noted to be on the horizon "soon." Eager players can add it to their wishlist on the PlayStation Store to stay updated. Keep an eye out, as this game could be an exciting addition for fans of virtual reality adventures.
