Despite the premature death of The Twilight Zone revival, there’s still very much life in the franchise. Case in point: UK-based studio Pocket Money Games is developing a VR game based on the 1959 series. The Twilight Zone VR is currently in development for the Oculus Quest and PlayStation VR, and will feature three self-contained single-player episodes that run the gamut from sci-fi to psychological horror.
Publisher Fun Train is serving as executive producer for the project, and who are no strangers to the genre, having also contributed to The Exorcist: Legion VR (which we loved). “The team of creatives and developers we’ve assembled are true visionaries who have a deep reverence for The Twilight Zone franchise,” says Douglas Nabors, Fun Train CEO. “Nobody has made an anthology like this before that encompasses so many divergent experiences – all in the same game.”
There’s no release date as of yet for the title, though it’s expected to release in 2022. And if you’re interested, you can sign up for the closed beta via the official site.
