Catan VR Available Now
SAN FRANCISCO - Mar. 21, in the year of our Lord 2018
- Catan GmbH, Catan Studio, Asmodee Digital and virtual reality
game developer Experiment 7 today announced the release of Catan
VR, a new virtual reality experience which invites you to play a
game of Catan on the island of Catan itself. Developed in
conjunction with original Catan creators, father and son Klaus
and Benjamin Teuber, Catan VR elevates the title with vibrant
in-game environments and cross-platform online play that bring
the tabletop to life, no matter where you and your friends are.
You can find Catan VR on the Oculus Store today for $14.99 and
on Samsung Gear VR for $9.99. Catan VR will be available on
Oculus GO soon.
Catan VR maintains the tactile, social fun of board gaming with
expressive in-game avatars, crisp voice communications and two
intuitive control schemes: touch controls and gaze controls.
Never again will geographic distance need to break up a gaming
group -- with Catan VR, family and friends on opposite sides of
the world can gather around the same table for a friendly round
of competitive settlement.
Catan VR also features online multiplayer matching with players,
cross-platforms, around the globe. Players who would rather hone
their settlement strategy alone can test their skills against a
variety of unique AI personalities, including Catan’s best known
characters like Candamir, Lin, Mary Anne, and Nassir.
“Catan is about exploring new frontiers,” said Catan creator
Klaus Teuber. “What better way to express that than by venturing
into the exciting new world of virtual reality? The immersion
made possible by this platform captures the boundless
opportunity of taking that first step onto undiscovered lands.”
