Much like the original, Amnesia: Rebirth is a dark game both literally and thematically. It isn’t unheard of for VR support to be patched into a game post-launch, after all. That said, Grip didn’t outright rule out the idea, which could leave the possibility on the table if there’s high enough demand. The regrettable news comes from an interview with PC Gamer published back in March it doesn’t look likely that an Amnesia: Rebirth VR update will be released in the future.
According to the game’s creative director, Thomas Grip, implementing virtual reality support “would be very hard” and developer Frictional Games “doesn’t have any plans for it.” Unfortunately, Amnesia: Rebirth does not work with VR headsets on PC or PS4. One genre where this has proven particularly successful is horror, which has masochistic horror fans eager to play the latest installment in virtual reality. Now, however, virtual reality is widely accessible and a great means of boosting player immersion. Just over a decade ago when the original launched, VR was mostly reserved for science fiction.
Amnesia: Rebirth is a follow-up ( though not a direct sequel) to 2010’s Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
