Innovative gamers can now request access to the exclusive, invitation-only closed beta test of Orion Drift, a futuristic virtual reality multiplayer sports game developed by the acclaimed Gorilla Tag studio, available exclusively on Oculus Quest.
Developed by One Other Axiom in Unreal Engine 5, Orion Drift innovatively redefines zero-gravity motion in a concept inspired by the immersive world of Echo VR. Using Gorilla Tag’s innovative arm-swinging mechanics, players can effortlessly navigate the environment with minimal controller input, allowing for precise object manipulation by simply gripping what’s within reach. In a futuristic space station’s central social hub, up to 200 players engage in interactive robot experiences, fostering community and entertainment on a massive scale.
Above, you’ll get a sneak peek at the featured game modes that come packaged with the release. While a section of this entertainment complex features games reminiscent of soccer, where players use their arms to propel a ball into goals, it’s also home to an obstacle course and a putting green. The Discord FAQ has been updated to confirm that Orion Drift will feature a dynamic editor, allowing for enhanced creative control and flexibility in the game’s narrative.
In an earlier announcement last year, OneMore Axiom detailed its approach to expansion. The studio has confirmed that you’ll enjoy the freedom to operate your personal servers, governed by their established guidelines, allowing for full control over managing your home stations. This flexibility enables customization of action styles, poster designs, game modes, and more, catering to individual preferences.
The launch date for An Orion Drift remains uncertain, but interested individuals can sign up for closed early access via the official Discord channel.
