2K today revealed Carnival Games® VR, a new take
on the hit franchise created by Cat Daddy Games that has sold-in
more than 9 million copies worldwide. Carnival Games VR will
be 2K’s first virtual reality offering to leverage today’s leading
edge technology that will bring the fun and thrill of 12 different
carnival games into living rooms in an entirely new and engaging
entertainment experience. The title will be available worldwide for
digital download for $19.99 on October 28, 2016 for HTC Vive™ and
PlayStation®VR; and later this year for Oculus Rift.
“Virtual reality is an exciting new emerging platform that has
the potential to enhance the way that interactive entertainment is
created and experienced,” said Sarah Anderson, SVP of Marketing at
2K. “As our first foray into this space, we wanted to deliver a
highly accessible entertainment experience that would allow players
to immerse themselves in the familiar, classic fun of our
Carnival Games series. With its stylized interactive
environments and all-new features, Carnival Games VR will
deliver the magic of the midway like never before.”
Carnival Games VR allows players to explore the park,
interact with patrons and play up to 12 different games. Whether
it’s scaling a castle in Climbing Wall or rolling for a high score
in Alley Ball – everyone will find a favorite. In each of these
games, players have the opportunity to collect tickets for fun
virtual prizes when they enter one of four different Carnival
Alleys. All prizes are held in the Play Room where they can be used
to unlock unique achievements. In addition, players will have the
opportunity to challenge their friends and see if they can earn the
top spot on the online leaderboard. For full details on all 12
games, please see the Official 2K Blog.
Carnival Games VR will be available for digital
download for $19.99 on October 28, 2016 for HTC Vive (via Steam)
and PlayStation®VR (via PlayStation Store), and later this year for
Oculus Rift. Consumers and media will have the chance to experience
the game at this year’s PAX West from September 2 - 5 at booth #S4
in the lobby of the convention center.
