Resolution Games developers of the hit game Bait! announce a VR swashbuckling pirate adventure for Daydream
Resolution Games today revealed the details of their next project called Narrows, a game of swashbuckling pirate adventure. Coming soon on Daydream, Google's platform for high quality, mobile VR, Narrows will follow the studio's wildly successful VR fishing game Bait!.
"We've been ecstatic about how our first games have been received, but Narrows will be our biggest game yet," said Tommy Palm, co-founder and CEO of Resolution Games. "Pirate adventures have long been a part of our culture, from literature classics like Treasure Island to historical villains like Blackbeard and his contemporaries, the golden age of piracy is rife with legend and lore."
The highly successful Bait! has seen over 2 million players and the team is bringing a version of it to the Facebook Spaces social VR platform to capitalize on that success.
Though the team will support their previous hit they are looking to utilize the $6 million dollars they raised in 2015 to grow into a trusted name in VR games.
"While the idea of action and adventure may skew to a slightly different audience than our earlier games, we're confident that the intuitive controls and welcoming design will make Narrows an experience that the whole family can enjoy," added Palm. "With Bait! and Wonderglade, we managed to create fun and accessible games that appeal to the widest possible audience. In that same vein, Narrows is very much a product of the Resolution Games design philosophy. We're making VR games for everyone."
Narrows will offer players a unique, unmatched view of a pirate's life that they can step in and out of with a simple slip of the headset, while allowing players to explore numerous voyages on the sea, creating their own mariner myths in the process.
