Quantum Universe has just released its newest virtual reality game, "The ChicKing Dead," in Early Access on the Meta Oculus Store, and they’re more than excited about it. Originating from Seoul, South Korea, this studio has leveraged their considerable expertise in XR technologies—spanning virtual, augmented, and mixed realities—to create an incredibly engaging VR multiplayer experience, combining arm-based movement with the unpredictable fun of playing tag.
The Story Behind Quantum Universe
Quantum Universe, based in South Korea, is a cutting-edge VR game development studio. With deep roots in XR technologies and a string of successful projects, they’ve now launched their first major title, hoping to stir up the gaming scene. "The ChicKing Dead" promises a mix of lively action, strategic movement, and exciting chaos, all within an unforgettable VR adventure that stands out in today’s gaming landscape.
Why "The ChicKing Dead" Stands Out
This game harnesses the unique VR locomotion method that involves using arm movements to glide around the game world. Players can swing their arms to move effectively while executing exciting maneuvers like dashing and boosting. The result is a game that’s all about fluidity and speed, offering an adrenaline-pumping experience from start to finish.
Gameplay Overview: Zombies and Chickens Collide
In each match, you start with nine players. One turns into the Alpha Zombie, tasked with turning other players—the chickens—into their zombie allies. Once a chicken is infected, it joins the hunt for remaining players. The game is a race against time—infect everyone before the clock runs out or strategize to remain uninfected until the end. This setup makes for unpredictable and highly enjoyable matches every time.
Introducing the LocoRoid System
The game brings another layer of complexity with the LocoRoid system. These robotic companions give players unique move sets and abilities, such as targeted dashes or powerful vertical jumps, adding depth and strategy. Choose the right LocoRoid to match your style and tip the scales in your favor as you make your mark on the battlefield.
Rewards, Customization, and Style
In the Early Access version of the game, players not only get to level up but also earn in-game currencies like Coins and Feathers. These can be traded for a wide range of over-the-top cosmetics, from quirky egg hats to full-blown character outfits. No matter if you’re playing as a chicken or a zombie, your efforts will help you unlock these amusing rewards, allowing you to set yourself apart with an eye-catching wardrobe.
Join in the Early Access Celebration!
To mark the start of their Early Access phase, Quantum Universe is rolling out special in-game events. Players can participate in all sorts of challenges, aim for holiday-themed cosmetics, and grab exclusive prizes just by jumping into the game. For the latest news and updates, be sure to connect via their official Discord server to take part in the organized chaos.
Future Developments on the Horizon
The team is keen on evolving "The ChicKing Dead" based on players’ feedback. They have ambitious plans to introduce leaderboards, participate in thrilling seasonal events, and eventually incorporate competitive league play. The aim is to create an immersive, community-driven gaming experience unlike any other.
As Quantum Universe’s first offering in the VR space, "The ChicKing Dead" spotlights their dedication to pushing boundaries and fostering fun. The game transports players into a whimsical zombie apocalypse—where you’re not just surviving; you’re doing it with flair and imagination.
