Greetings Hellsingers,

Last week, we casually dropped the demo for Metal: Hellsinger VR and we hope that you have been enjoying your time in VR Hells.

We are organizing a high-score contest. It's simple.

- Launch the demo
- Select Stygia - Goat difficulty - Keep it the default song
- Slay to the beat
- Get the highest score and record your gameplay showing the start and the end screens clearly
- Share your gameplay video on X, Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram with the hashtag #BecomingUnknown and your name on Steam. You can also upload it to YouTube and share the link on socials. Up to you!
- Stay at the top of the leaderboard and win

We have a leaderboard in the game so you can follow your progress in real time and see how close you are to getting the highest score. You also shouldn't use the Beat Assist Mode!


There will be 3 winners.

1st place: Cameo video from Matt Heafy of Trivium and a Metal: Hellsinger VR key for platform of choice
2nd place: Metal: Hellsinger VR key for platform of choice
3rd place: Metal: Hellsinger VR key for platform of choice

Do you have what it takes? Then start working on your demon-slaying game because this contest will be active only until July 17th.

Time is ticking, Hellsinger. Show them what you're made of.

Note: The entries are going to be curated by our community team and if we notice any exploits or anything suspicious like that, we will have the right to disqualify your entry.

Greetings, Hellsingers.

For the past year or so, we've been working hard on bringing you a hellishly hot first
look at Metal: Hellsinger VR. We're happy to announce that you can get your hands
on a playable demo right now.

In this demo, you will have access to:

Two levels and their respective tracks

• Voke
  
• Stygia

Four weapons

• Terminus
  
• Paz
  
• Persephone
  
• The Hounds

And the new VR Lobby we designed for the game. You can access this lobby to
check out your loadout and pick your poison.

You can also test out some of our accessibility settings, check out the performance
(which is not final), and have fun while slaying to the beat.

If you haven't seen it, we announced this news at the UploadVR Showcase today
with a brand-new trailer featuring Matt Heafy from Trivium and a release date
pointing at FALL 2024. Check it out here:

Combining this with the innovative gameplay style of VR, we’re aiming to create a unique but still familiar experience. Every weapon will feel very different to use.

Hellsingers!

Did you think the music had stopped? Hells, no! We’re proud to announce Metal: Hellsinger VR, coming to Steam in 2024!

Get ready to be fully immersed in metal and mayhem. Step into the body of the Unknown in full VR and become a true demon of vengeance. Wield her full wicked arsenal in your very hands and unleash its power straight into the snarling hordes’ ugly faces.

Metal: Hellsinger VR includes everything you’ve come to know and love in Metal: Hellsinger. That means the full award-winning soundtrack performed by your favorite metal legends, and the entire campaign to wreak vengeance upon the Red Judge all in glorious VR.

The game has been rebuilt to take full advantage of the strengths of VR, creating accurate and meaty gunplay, a world that pulsates to the beat, and doing away with most menus for an immersive hub area. Aim dual pistols independently, cock your shotgun, and make them fear the beat.

Whether you want to physically move around yourself, use the joystick, standing or even seated, Metal: Hellsinger VR will deliver delicious heavy metal carnage straight into your ears and eyes.

The game is coming to Steam in 2024.

We’ll have a lot more to show you before then, so get your necks ready; headbanging is always recommended, but we take no responsibility for projectile VR sets.

Stay on beat, Hellsingers 🤘
