‘Doom VFR’ Coming to PSVR and HTC Vive, Here’s the Reveal Trailer

22

What was an earlier version of Doom for VR announced last year has evolved into a full title from Id Software, now titled Doom VRF. The game will be released for PlayStation VR and the HTC Vive.

On stage during Bethesda’s E3 2017 press conference the company revealed a more developed version of their in-development VR version of Doom. Now titled Doom VFR (an acronym which we can only guess involves a certain F word), the game looks a lot more mature than when we tried it at E3 last year.

A reveal trailer (heading this article) gives a glimpse of the game in action, showing teleporting locomotion, but also quite a bit of flying through the air and dashing.

The formalization of the title suggests the game is nearing release, and Bethesda says we’ll see it launch at some point in 2017. The game is now confirmed as launching on both PSVR and HTC Vive.
