EVERSLAUGHT Invasion announced!
EVERSLAUGHT Patch Notes — August 23, 2022
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
First off: What’s happening with EVERSLAUGHT?
In August of last year we launched EVERSLAUGHT into Early Access and we were blown away by its positive reception. An amazing community has formed since then for which we were and still are very grateful. We’re super excited that so many of you stand behind our vision of bringing an action packed slaughter fest to Virtual Reality, a platform that we are so passionate about. You have motivated us to push our limits, and a couple of months after launch we were able to bring you our first big content update, which you thoroughly enjoyed.
Ever since then we’ve been silent. But silence doesn't mean things weren’t brewing in our development kitchen… We’ve been hard at it folks, been expanding our amazing team and improving our skills every day. We had the fortunate opportunity to partner up with Fast Travel Games and Meta to create EVERSLAUGHT Invasion. A fast-paced VR action game built for 1-2 players that encapsulates all core aspects of the EVERSLAUGHT experience and adds many new and exciting features, FINALLY allowing players to share the slaughtering goodness with their friends.
We’re aware this might come as a big surprise! But before we answer your loads of questions, check out the trailer first:
Cool, ain’t it? This is an EVERSLAUGHT title, natively running on a Quest 2, WITH multiplayer! Now let us explain what happened here…
Why EVERSLAUGHT Invasion?
Developing an ambitious game like EVERSLAUGHT takes a fair amount of people working full time for quite some time. This requires a hefty budget, which slowly started to run out after having launched our game on Steam. And despite our love for the PC platform, we knew something needed to happen in order for our team and the game to continue to exist. So we looked for people interested in funding the development of EVERSLAUGHT and found our new partners.
Does this mean EVERSLAUGHT is dead?
No, not at all. Our plans for EVERSLAUGHT have only become more ambitious. More than ever we want to make EVERSLAUGHT the hardcore Action RPG experience that VR players are looking for. Working on our new title EVERSLAUGHT Invasion we’ve basically pushed back our plans by about one year. BUT believe us when we say the PC version is going to become bigger and badder over the course of next year.
What do I get out of EVERSLAUGHT Invasion?
Starting development of EVERSLAUGHT Invasion meant for us that we could start fresh, use all our acquired knowledge and improve the core game from the ground up. We’ve overhauled most aspects of the EVERSLAUGHT experience, bringing new depth to melee combat, enemy behavior, character movement and lore. We aim to bring these new features over to EVERSLAUGHT and improve it with our newly gained skills, starting at the end of this year.
I don’t own a Quest 2, do I get to play EVERSLAUGHT Invasion?
While EVERSLAUGHT Invasion is currently planned to only launch on the Quest 2 early 2023, we're keeping our options open to bring it to additional platforms. Depending on how things go for us from here as a small team, our ambitions are high as always. Maybe this will be one of those few multiplayer titles that become a cross-platform phenomenon. Let's see what the future will bring!
We hope you stay with us and keep supporting EVERSLAUGHT. We wouldn’t have made it this far without you and are ever grateful that you allowed us to create the hardcore VR experiences that we love to make & play. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on everything EVERSLAUGHT and are happy to finally break the silence.
