Arcade Fighter ‘FINAL FURY’ Launches on Quest & PC VR Next Month by ‘Synth Riders’ Studio

Kluge Interactive, the creators of the popular VR rhythm title Synth Riders (2019), are gearing up to launch their next big project. FINAL FURY, a VR fighting game, is set to hit early access on Quest and SteamVR headsets next month.

Mark your calendars for May 8th when Final Fury will be available for Quest 2 and higher, as well as PC VR headsets. This game promises to deliver the feel of classic 1v1 arcade battles, reinvented through an innovative gesture-based gameplay system tailored for VR.

The game has been shaped with insights from none other than nine-time EVO champion, Justin Wong. The early access version features a dynamic mix of hand gestures and actual room-scale movement, allowing players to step into the shoes of six distinct fighters, each with their unique moves and arenas. The development team promises more content to come after the launch.

"When Kluge Interactive approached me about FINAL FURY, their vision to blend classic fighting mechanics with a VR-first-person experience caught my interest," Wong shared. "I’ve been involved in refining aspects like dashes, grabs, and character styles, and I’m eager to see how players will dive into the game when it becomes available in Early Access."

Here’s what you can expect at the early access launch:

• You are the Fighter! – Immerse yourself in VR combat where your punches, dodges, and blocks feel realistic.
• Innovative VR Combat – Experience traditional fighter mechanics reimagined for a physically engaging gameplay.
• Expanding Roster – Start with six fighters, each boasting unique powers, arenas, and styles. More will join the fray after launch.
• Arcade Mode Unlocks – Challenge the AI to unlock a new fighter, a stage, and various cosmetics.
• Online Multiplayer – Enjoy cross-platform battles with rollback netcode ensuring smooth, competitive matches.
• Pulse-Pounding OST – Dive into an original soundtrack by Zardonic, known for his work on SUPERHOT: MCD.

Don’t miss out! You can already add Final Fury to your wishlist on the Horizon Store for Quest 2 and up, and on Steam for PC VR headsets, all for a starting price of $9.99.
