Thrasher<\/em>, which its developers describe as a “mind-melting arcade action odyssey,” will be available for the Meta Quest and the Apple Vision Pro on July 25. The SteamVR version<\/a> will follow at a later date. Thrasher<\/em> was first announced at The Game Awards last year as a new project by Brian Gibson, who was the artist and composer behind the nightmare-inducing rhythm game Thumper<\/em>. For Thrasher<\/em>, Gibson teamed up with Mike Mandel, known for working on games like Rock Band VR<\/em> and Fuser<\/em>, who took charge of the coding and research and development.<\/p>\n The player takes control of a space eel in Thrasher, which they have to guide with “fast-paced gesture controls” through unsettling landscapes, so that it can evolve and defeat a cosmic baby god by the end of their journey. Based on the images and teasers the developers have released so far, the game’s environments truly do look mind-bending with their psychedelic neon colors and their geometric patterns. Even the eel’s powers sound trippy: Players can fight bosses with a rainbow spray of bullets or bulldoze environment elements in a blaze of color and light.<\/p>\n The developers said that Thrasher’s<\/em> “music, visuals, and gameplay mesh into one transcendent experience” for the player. While the virtual reality version offers the most immersive option for gamers, Thrasher<\/em> is also expected to be available for consoles and PC in the future<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
