Skydance’s Behemoth is coming to all major VR headsets in December, promising to be one of the biggest VR game releases this year. Now we got a peek at the game running on Quest 3, and it’s really looking the part.

Initially targeting a November 14th release, developer Skydance Games announced last month that it was delaying Behemoth to December 5th to give the team more time to polish what’s been couched as its next “AAA” VR title.

Launching across Quest 2/3/Pro, PSVR 2, and PC VR, Behemoth promises loads of exploration, combat, environmental puzzles, and plenty of hard-won VR-native design pioneered in the studio’s most successful VR game, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners.

While we’ve had a steady stream of trailers over the past four months, all of them ostensibly focused on PSVR 2 gameplay and gameplay captured on PC. To boot, the studio has only ever shown the game working on PSVR 2 and PC VR (via Quest 3) across its various demos.

We’re of course saving judgement for whenever the studio shows off native Quest 3 support in the wild, although it could easily shape up to be one of the most important releases this year alongside Batman: Arkham Shadow and Metro Awakening.

    I really like the scale of this game. Doesnt look like an AAA but it really gets my attention with those giant monsters

    • NL_VR

      How does AAA look like ?
      When i think of AAA i think of boring, janky shit with an "agenda" which infested flatscreen "AAA Games"

        Playing “AAA VR” every day on a Quest 3 connected by Wifi 6E to RTX 4090 PC with modded Skyrim VR.

        • NL_VR

          Ok fair, pretty old game and already played Skyrim so much and VR version, so that game is not interesting anymore

          • Ferdinand Ogaul

            I don't know of anyone who uses the sometimes negative aspects that AAA games as their whole definition.

            Most commonly it's agreed on that it's just bigger budget with broad options for controls and accessibility.

  • ViRGiN

    This looks far more advanced than HL Alyx which is a babysitter game designed for people missing a limb.

    • Rayza

      do you have any life or do you just chat absolute rubbish on here all day?

      • NL_VR

        he is righteously dedicated

      • ViRGiN

        Why it’s always the people nobody seen before getting butthurt the most? You get wet just thinking about alyx or something? Don’t you have real life women around you?

  • STL

    This is PC VR on a Quest 3? No way this is directly rendered on Quest 3!

    • Rayza

      There's better looking games than this on Quest 3 tbf, it looks way better on PC

      • STL

        Kindly name one or two (on Quest 3). Thank you!

        • Ferdinand Ogaul

          I'd like to see what you're referring to also @disqus_V6AKz5KjPt:disqus – not as a skeptic but just as a curious Quest 3 owner.

  • barom

    This looks like PS2 game on the Quest.

    • ViRGiN

      Literally looks superior to average PCVR game.
