Out of Ammo Announced for PS4 VR
San Francisco, CA – November 6, in the year of our
Lord 2017 - Zen Studios today announced the upcoming
PlayStation VR release of Out of Ammo—the first game in Zen’s
new publishing initiative to bring top-tier indie PC games to
console audiences. In partnership with RocketWerkz, this unique
hybrid of real-time strategy and first-person shooter will be
available Winter 2018. Beginning tomorrow, anyone who preorders
Out of Ammo can claim Zen’s popular CastleStorm VR for free.
With a simple yet engaging aesthetic approach, Out of Ammo puts
players in the roles of general and grunt in the midst of heated
battles intensified by the immersion of virtual reality. As
general, players dictate where to place fortifications and
troops. Once a sound strategy is at hand, it’s time assume the
identities of any soldier on the battlefield, whether shooting
machineguns and throwing grenades at the front lines or
carefully executing sniper blasts from watchtowers—players can
even wield pistols as a medic and blast away with a shotgun as
an engineer. Switching between viewpoints is vital to success as
the enemy changes its own approach in real time.
“We at Zen are determined to enable console audiences to play
some of the best, most innovative indie PC games out there, and
Out of Ammo perfectly speaks to the core of what this new
publishing initiative is all about,” says Mel Kirk, Zen Studios’
VP, Publishing. “We’re very selective about the titles that
we’ll bring from PC to console—and more will be announced in the
weeks to come—but RocketWerkz made Out of Ammo an easy choice to
be first out the gate. We love it. The Steam community loves it.
And we know PlayStation VR owners will love it as well.”
“All it took was one meeting with Zen for me to realize not only
that the game should be brought to PlayStation VR, but also that
Zen was the right studio to handle the conversion,” says Dean
Hall, Chief Executive at RocketWerkz. “Out of Ammo started out
as an experiment in seeing what RocketWerkz could do in virtual
reality, and we’ve been flattered with the positive response the
game has received ever since it was released on PC. It’s
incredibly exciting to know that a whole new audience is about
to experience it for the first time.”
As a special bonus, all PlayStation VR owners who preorder Out
of Ammo will also receive CastleStorm VR for free. Though a very
different gameplay experience than Out of Ammo, CastleStorm VR
also embraces the idea of combining overall strategic approach
with the ability for players to take direct control of a
soldier’s actions.
