The full version has finally arrived.
We celebrate VR Zombie shooter Dead Ground: Arena leaving Early Access. The final version includes seven exciting levels in different environments with challenging bosses and a variety of weapons to fend off infested creatures. During the Early Access phase of Dead Ground:Arena, we made numerous improvements to the game based on player feedback including support for more devices like Samsung Odyssey, adjustments to gameplay and controls as well as improvements to the already impressive unreal engine 4 based graphics and the addition of new maps and enemies. As an agent of the secret organisation Blackrain, players take on a variety of missions in changing environments, ranging from claustrophobic caves to infested railroad stations, where they must fend of unrelenting hordes of enemies. To tackle the challenges of the standalone arena mode, they are equipped with a wide range of weapons, from realistic military firearms and grenades to more exotic ones such as a Freeze Ray or the all-time favorite Gravity Gun to fight more than 30 different reactive NPCs such as typical zombies, crawling and jumping ones and gigantic bosses. Now is the time to enjoy this!Read full article on Community Announcements (Vrillar Co.,Ltd)AnnouncementsOfficial

Update version 1.1.7822 and Notice
Updates You can play with MR devices such as Samgsung Odyssey Time to visit "RAIL" map Easily control and change weapons with more VR friendly system Important notice We upgraded Unreal Engine version to 4.19 this time. As such, the graphic setting will have higher effects than previous one. For example, Ultra resolution will have bigger screen scale in version 4.19 than the former version, which requires higher performance leading to lower frame rate. If your PC is not good enough for bigger screen scale than just try to lower graphic settings to have the same quailty with same frame rate as previous one. We are optimizing and fixing potential bugs for rail scene. We will update this soon. Thank you.Read full article on Community Announcements (Vrillar Co.,Ltd)Patch NotesOfficial
