From the moment it launched on the Meta Quest Store, Drakheir invited adventurers to master elemental magic with only their bare hands. Whether you summon meteors from the sky or combine wind and fire for a game-changing fusion attack, every gesture in Drakheir feels real and immediate. This is a freedom seldom seen in VR. As the world of Drakheir continues to evolve, the studio remains committed to refining existing content while introducing new ways to cast spells and explore.
“Our goal has always been to push what’s possible with VR hand tracking,” shares Taylly Li, Producer at Shambala Yongho. “We’re grateful for the community’s feedback and can’t wait to deliver these new features that deepen the sense of discovery and imagination at the core of Drakheir.”
Over the coming months, Drakheirians can look forward to:
- Mixed Reality Mode
Experience Drakheir’s magic in your own living space. Fend off mystical creatures invading your living room, blurring the lines between virtual enchantment and everyday reality.
- Expanded Sandbox
Experiment with spell combinations in an enhanced mode that encourages unbridled creativity—perfect for testing wild ideas or simply enjoying the game’s stunning physics and magical mechanics.
- New Spells to Discover
Build upon Drakheir’s 40+ existing spells with fresh powers that promise surprising attacks and deeper strategies for both exploration and combat.
While these major expansions unfold, the team is also rolling out frequent quality-of-life updates to maintain Drakheir’s balance of accessibility and challenge for veteran sorcerers. Players can revisit three distinct realms and over 20 mesmerizing environments, combining spells in new ways while conquering formidable bosses armed with enhanced AI. Each enhancement grows out of community feedback and underscores the studio’s commitment to building the ultimate player-driven adventure.
Drakheir is available now for Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro. Seasoned wizards and fresh-faced apprentices alike are invited to join the adventure and shape the future of VR hand-tracking gameplay. The coming updates promise an entirely new dimension of spell casting.
