Descent is getting a spiritual successor May 31 — in VR

Six degrees of freedom (6DOF) shooters seem to work pretty well in VR, provided you have the stomach for them. If you’re a fan, then there’s a big release next month you should definitely be marking on your calendars.

Developer Revival Productions’ Overload is finally coming out of Early Access on May 31 and launching in full on Steam with optional support for both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. You may well have heard of this one; Revival is comprised of developers that worked on the original Descent, arguably the most influential 6DOF shooter out there. It’s a crowdfunded game, having raised over $300,000 all the way back in 2015.
