Crimen – Mercenary Tales is coming to VR headsets this month
Comic book styled adventure Crimen – Mercenary Tales is coming to Meta Quest 2 and Pico this month on May 25th from renowned developer, Carbon Studio, the studio behind titles like Alice VR, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall, and Dreamo.
It seems there’ll be a good bit of humour to go with the visual styling, as there’s a Breaking Bad quote right away in the release date trailer – “I am the one who knocks”. It looks a bit of fun, for sure, but there’s no word on if a PlayStation VR2 version will be coming down the line, at a later date.
You can check out the latest trailer, as well as the official word from the press release, below:
