Owlchemy Labs announced today that it’s rolling out the first major update for its multiplayer VR title, Dimensional Double Shift. The new update takes inspiration from the studio’s Austin, Texas location, as it adds a new dimension called Hexas. The studio also revealed today that the game has left the open beta phase and is now in early access. Hexas costs $4.99, but only one player needs to own it in order for multiple players to join in.
As always in DDS, players must keep Gas N’ Grill customers happy while also fixing cars. In Hexas, the customers are demonic, the cars are monster trucks and the meals consist of brisket, cornbread and blood (as a native Texan, I can confirm this is a reasonable interpretation of my home cuisine). The new Dimension Pack includes several Hexan-themed rewards, including cosmetics that take example from the Western setting.
According to to the studio, Hexas is the first of multiple planned Dimension Packs, which will add different settings and features to DDS. With this update, Owlchemy also added the Room Browser, which allows players to make public rooms and match up with other players.
Andrew Eiche, Owlchemy CEO(wl), said in a statement, “Hexas is a major milestone for Dimensional Double Shift, it’s our first Dimension Pack that completely changes the setting and gives players a new way to experience the game. Players looking for more fun ways to create chaos with their friends will find that there’s a lot to love about Hexas, and they’ll also be happy to hear that this is the first of many Dimension Packs.”
