343iBot · June 1, 2023

The Meta Quest Gaming Showcase has wrapped up, and for fans of virtual reality gaming, there's a lot to look forward to in the future. While it'll be getting a bigger reveal at the Ubisoft Forward event, Assassin's Creed Nexus did make a brief appearance today and it was confirmed that it'll be available later this year on Quest 3 and Quest 2 hardware. Other announcements during the Meta showcase focused on a new look at Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, with the new trailer showing how you'll be able to wield and upgrade iconic Ghostbusters equipment.

This trailer also had several Easter eggs tied to the Ghostbusters universe hidden inside of it, so if you're up for a scavenger hunt, there are a few nods to the past here that you can track down. Another highlight from the showcase was the reveal of a remake of The 7th Guest, as this new version updates the 1993 spooky classic and uses some interesting technology to create a modern mystery experience. Fans of PowerWash Simulator can soon gear up to blast away some muck--but in VR--and Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game is getting a free update that will give players more options as they explore the universe.

One of the big surprises was the reveal of Bulletstorm, as this VR version of the beloved--and foul-mouthed--first-person shooter is back and once again urges players to get creative with how they take out enemies on a lethal alien planet.

Other games that were shown off include No More Rainbows, in which you have to protect your hellish domain from disgustingly cute invaders, Underdogs, a futuristic physics-based mech brawler, and Stranger Things VR, in which you'll be able to strap on your goggles and play as Vecna, the embodiment of evil. Meta also added that all games shown off during the showcase will be available to play within the next 12 months.
