Ultimechs: VR hit studio launches free-to-play game

The new VR game from hit studio Resolution Games (Blaston, Demeo) is coming soon, bringing free-to-play mech competitions.

Ultimechs lets you slip into the metallic garb of lightning-fast mechs and play a sport called Superball. The goal is to get the ball into the opponent’s goal using rocket fists. The VR game is designed for two teams of two, but also supports duels.

“With Ultimechs, we wanted to create a new sport created that people will enjoy playing and following many years from now,” said studio founder and CEO Tommy Palm. “Ultimechs combines the excitement, drama and atmosphere of traditional sports and comes up with catchy action with plenty of room for clever strategies.”

Ultimechs goes free-to-play

Ultimechs will be released for free on September 15 for Meta Quest 2 and Pico headsets, as well as on Steam. Meta Quest 1 is not supported.
