I intend , you also get to wield the Force in VR and that ’s pretty nerveless , but allow ’s rewind a touch : Four . Armed . Rancor .
Announced today as part of Facebook ’s massive Oculus Connect result , the second chapter of ILMxLab’sVader Immortal VR game seriesis now uncommitted on both the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift VR headset .
dress in the years preceding Rogue One : A Star Wars Story , Vader Immortal lets players step into the skid of an unnamed smuggler captain a ship called the Windfall , which gets capture by Vader ’s military unit and brought tohis mysterious castleon Mustafar .

Episode II of Immortal sees Vader hone those ability in your character , letting gamers go beyond just the funlightsaberand explorative action of the series ’ debut and fling rocks around at everything from training droids ( and Vader himself in the galaxy ’s deadliest game of catch ) , to the said four - armed Rancor .
appear , I do n’t know what lend you to find a very hostile , four - armed Rancor — named by Lucasfilm and ILMxLab as a “ Darkghast ” , a very - Rancor - esque being that just pass to essentially front like the matter Jabba keep locked under his castle in Return of the Jedi with some supererogatory appendage — beneath Vader ’s palace . Maybe that ’s just part and parcel of the experience .
But look at that affair . It ’s get four arms . It crawls about like a spider , but it ’s a giant bloody monster . That ’s ridiculous . I love it . And I ca n’t wait to carve it up in the puff of practical reality while Darth Vader … well , presumptively does the Sith equivalent of cheering you on , which is leaving you go potentially die at the ( four ! ) hands of an tempestuous giant monster during your Force power 101 class .
Vader Immortal Episode II is uncommitted now on Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift for $ 10 . As well as the unexampled story message , gamers will get access to a new set of challenge level ’s in the biz ’s “ Dojo ” minigame , which will not just have them practice their lightsaber skills like the first episode , but wield those fancy new Force powers in wave - based combat , too .
