nDreams Unveils ‘Reach’: A VR Action-Adventure Featuring Cinematic Action & Parkour Coming This Year

So, lemme tell you about this new VR game I stumbled across while, you know, trying to remember where I left my coffee mug? Yeah, it’s called Reach. Weird name, right? But then, aren’t they all these days? It’s like nDreams Elevation—a studio that, btw, only came into being in 2022—decided to come out swinging with what they’re calling their “most ambitious title.” Bold claim or just marketing fluff? Who knows. Maybe both.

Anyway, this game is about flying through the air like some parkour ninja, taking on these massive mythical creatures. I saw this in some trailer—kind of looked like their old stuff, you know? A bit of Fracked here. Maybe a hint of Synapse too. You ever feel like game trailers just give you, like, déjà vu sometimes? But then, bam!, it’s all new again.

So, picture this: you’re jumping, climbing, zip-lining—you name it. Perfect for those days when regular running just feels too mundane. They’re saying you gotta master all these tools to shape your own path. Whatever that means. Tuesday, June 10th is when we’ll really get the goods during some developer showoff. Mark your calendars. Or don’t. It’s your life.

Ah, and here’s a kicker. Shuhei Yoshida—yes, the gaming industry legend—gave it his stamp of approval. Talk about street cred, right? Claims he’s a fan and got all impressed by the game’s immersion and creativity. I mean, if Shu likes it, can’t be all bad, huh?

Oh, Glenn Brace, the studio head honcho, chimed in too. Typical PR stuff. Think “players feeling present and powerful.” You know the drill. But hey, if they pull this off, could be a game-changer for VR.

And just in case you’re itching to play it ASAP, you can wishlist this bad boy on the Horizon Store, PlayStation Store, and Steam. Assuming you remember your login info. Me? I’ll just be here hoping I find that coffee mug. Or maybe I’ll end up in VR myself, battling mythical beasts. Who knows?
