PCVR players will be excited to learn that the much anticipated 17th century virtual reality survival game is set to launch on Feb 22, 2024, with a full release slated for 2025. Focused entirely on VR headsets like Valve Index, and Meta (Oculus) Quest PC-link devices; Bootstrap Island offers a realistic survival adventure in an immersive, yet comfortable VR experience designed with minimal menus and natural feeling controls.
Following their recent appearance at Steam Next Fest, Maru VR has returned with an updated demo that incorporates much of the feedback received over the past few months. VR players will get a chance to test out the latest version of Bootstrap Island this week during Steam VR Fest (December 4-11th), finding themselves shipwrecked on a mysterious tropical island in the 17th century. They will need to quickly learn to adapt and survive by exploring for food and drink, collecting materials to make fire; and surviving the dark night from being attacked by ferocious beasts.
The Maru VR team will also make an appearance during Steam VR Fest for livestreams scheduled at 9pm Pacific on Wednesday Dec 7th on Youtube, and Thursday Dec 8th on Twitch. The developers will be discussing the current development roadmap and the future of Bootstrap Island, answering players' questions, as well as sharing a few tropical survival tips.
