News:: VR FPS Arktika.1 isn't 'holding up' Metro 2033 maker's other project

The next project from the studio behind the frigid, monster-filled Metro series of first-person shooters is essentially more of that, but by a different name, and built only with virtual reality mind.

"Nearly a century in the future, the world has fallen into a new ice age in the aftermath of a silent apocalypse," reads the summary. "Only the equatorial regions are still habitable, yet pockets of humanity survive in small numbers all over the planet, hanging onto existence in the resource-rich territories to the north and south--resources that everyone wants to control... Protect the colony in the wastelands of old Russia from raiders, marauders, and strange creatures."

Last week, 4A Games announced its 2017 Oculus Touch game Arktika.1. This week, the developer is reaching out to fans who aren't exactly thrilled that the title's exclusivity means they'll miss out. It's a situation that we, aside from the lucky few who can just buy it all, will increasingly find ourselves in.
