Developer and publisher Archiact Interactive has officially announced that its epic sci-fi VR RPG, Journey to Foundation, is scheduled to launch on October 26th for PlayStation VR2, Quest 2, and Pico 4. Accompanying this announcement is a new trailer, offering a sneak peek at some exciting gameplay features.
Journey to Foundation is based on Isaac Asimov’s renowned Foundation series, which received the prestigious Hugo Award in 1966. In this upcoming virtual reality title, players will embark on a thrilling interstellar journey, assuming the role of Agent Ward, a spy working for the Commission of Public Safety, a shadowy organization that maintains order in the Galactic Empire. The narrative unfolds nearly two centuries after mathematician Hari Seldon predicted the fall of the Galactic Empire and forged a Foundation to mitigate the chaos and destruction that would come.
As players navigate the world of Journey to Foundation, they will disguise, hack, and blast their way through this sci-fi universe using the most advanced tools the Galactic Empire has to offer. In addition, players will utilize Agent Ward’s unique Mentalic abilities that allow them to sense and manipulate the emotions of others.
Journey to Foundation promises to bring the spirit of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series within the realm of virtual reality. As such, players can expect intense dialogues where characters grapple with the fate of the Galactic Empire and engage in fierce battles of will. Early impressions from the trailer suggest that Journey to Foundation holds great potential. The meticulously crafted Galactic Empire setting and the striking character designs effectively embody the sci-fi essence of the source material. While it does not strive for complete hyperrealistic design, the game offers an engaging and immersive VR experience.
For eager fans who want to be notified as soon as Journey to Foundation is released, the game is now available to wishlist on PlayStation Store and Meta Quest Store.
