Sci-Fi Shooter OUTBLAST Set To Release June 4th

Technology and VR specialist developer and publisher Rhino Rock Studios is excited to announce the imminent release of OUTBLAST, launching June 4th. Strap in for a mesmeric, free-flowing shooter where you are on a full ‘blast’ mission of possible impending doom!

Don your VR headset or settle into your comfy chair for this blaster masterpiece, featuring dual presentation modes with VR and flat-screen support.

Welcome to the OUTBLAST Zone

You are the pilot of interceptor C11-28. Your mission is to defend the planet’s core against infected constructs. Prepare for a fast-paced, out-and-out sci-fi shooter where anticipation, skill, and a smidgen of luck need to be on your side.

A rogue viral intelligence known as Typhon is spreading through the system, corrupting entire districts and destabilising the planetary core. Standard defences have failed, and you are the system’s only hope.

The mission ahead is perilous but you must boost, blast, and survive nonstop combat in this frantic arcade shooter. Defend Perseon-6 from relentless infected waves before the core collapses. Battle legendary enemies across five deadly districts, upgrade your ship with collected data fragments to withstand increasingly powerful threats, and compete against players worldwide for the top spot on the leaderboard!

You are the interceptor in a fight for survival

  • High-octane arcade frenzy: Boost, blast, and unleash devastating bombs as you tear through waves of enemies in a relentless, adrenaline-fueled arcade shooter.
  • Destroy five elite bosses: Defend the core of Perseon-6 and its districts against Hydra, Gorgon, Minotaur, Siren and Typhon.
  • Power up to dominate: Upgrade your ship in the heat of battle, collect valuable data fragments, and evolve into an unstoppable force of destruction.
  • Rise through the ranks: Compete against friends, enemies and other players in a race to the top on global leaderboards.
  • Unlock 15 Steam achievements: Prove your skills with flawless runs, lightning-fast speed laps, massive kill streaks, and ultimate combo clears.

Your objective is clear. Destroy infected constructs, collect data particles and purge the system before total collapse.

Extra Tech Mission Info!

OUTBLAST has been developed for Steam Deck from day one, optimised to run flawlessly for pick-up-and-play sessions. OUTBLAST is best played with a controller, and VR players will need a controller with analogue sticks. Play on SteamVR-compatible headsets, including Meta Quest, Valve Index, and HTC Vive.

Fight for survival on 4 June 2026!

Yupitergrad

Yupitergrad was just released on January 28th for the Oculus Quest. It was originally released for the PC on August 27th of 2020 and it will also be released for PSVR in 2021. Yupitergrad was developed by the Polish game studio, Gamedust. They are a relatively new studio that is focusing on cutting edge gaming technology such as virtual reality. Yupitergrad has been described as a “Tarzan-style-platformer'”. This is because the player must use suction cups that shoot from their hands to navigate the game’s levels. This mechanic is especially interesting to see in virtual reality.

Cosmonauts on Jupiter don’t have it easy.

Leave the Motherland

In Yupitergrad, you play as a Slavic cosmonaut. The game is set on a base off the atmosphere of Jupiter. You’ll be navigating throughout the station and into space as you move through the game’s story. As a VR game, it can be especially thrilling to use grappling hooks and boosters to fly around over 50 different levels in the game. Plus, Yupitergrad’s stylized art style plays into the experience that the game tries to draw you into. It also features an original soundtrack that adds to the cosmonaut experience.

There’s plenty of content to play through in Yupitergrad, considering how many levels are in the game.

Shoot Towards the Future

Despite the game’s initial release having occurred last August, there have been free updates that have added some content and polished certain features. The controls have been improved, new levels have been added, and a time attack mode has been implemented into the game. As the game is being released on different platforms, it’s also still being worked on and made better. The game is only $14.99, so it’s one of the more affordable VR games. If you’re interested in a VR platformer with a whacky theme at its core, consider giving Yupitergrad a try.
