Original Article (November 27th, 2018): Skyworld is slated to arrive on PSVR next year, Vertigo Games tells us, although there’s no specific launch date yet. The studio says it’ll launch sometime in early 2019 (see update).
Skyworld reimagines classic strategy gameplay for VR by combining turn-based strategy and real-time battles set in a variety of animated miniature worlds. Featuring both single-player campaign and online multiplayer battles, Skyworld lets you build and command pint-sized armies and build decks spanning land, air, ranged, and spellcasting units.
It’s uncertain at this time whether Skyworld will be available with cross-platform multiplayer, as the game has been available for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift since its launch in late 2017.
While we haven’t had the opportunity to review Skyworld, check out our early hands-on from last year to get an idea of what it’s all about.
Skyworld currently sits at an 80% positive approval on Steam, giving it a ‘very positive’ rating. The game also sits at a respectable 4.3/5 stars on the Oculus Store.
