There was scepticism regarding PSVR when it first launched from fans perhaps burned by the PS Vita and other side-projects from Sony. But credit where credit is due: PlayStation has kept its virtual reality headset flush with software for over five years now. On the eve of PSVR2’s launch, then, there’s one major project stilly vying for your attention: Zenith: The Last City.
This is a wildly ambitious MMO from Ramen VR, and it’s slated to release on 27th January. While we’ve yet to go hands on with it ourselves yet, feedback from the project’s various betas has been positive – overwhelmingly so, in fact. It features full crossplay and a large open world to explore, all presented in virtual reality of course. Impressive!
Unlike most other major MMOs, the game will be available for a one-time fee of $29.99, which the developer pledges will include over 100 hours of content. It’ll continue to update the game post-launch, and there’ll be various optional cosmetics you can purchase to help fund the additional add-ons and expansions. It certainly looks and sounds interesting – we’ll be following this one with a keen eye.

I'm glad your covering this game, PSVR without Parole loved the beta and the trailers I've seen looked great. Hope we can get a review.
@AdamNovice +1 for referencing PSVR without Parole, great channel!
Looks good but I'm worried that flying around would just make nauseated
This looks like it could be a ton of fun. Maybe I’ll dust my PSVR off and give it a try.
@Olmaz Bryan and AJ pulled a pushsquare article in the livestream before the last, just after blasting the trailer for Twisted Metal and then failing to realise no one could hear anything they were saying looool
I’ll wait til the PSVR2 comes out to try this game, I can’t stand the PS Move controllers
I have been in the discord for this one for a while, community is nice atm, lot of people hyped to play it. Also, there was a fantastic bot that would count how long it had been since someone referenced SAO. XD I think it will be quite a social experience on release, too. Will get it on release I think.
@danzoEX If the game is supported by PSVR2. With the change in control scheme, backwards compatibility is looking questionable.
i'm guessing they got inspiration from horizon when making the title
@danzoEX No PSVR games are confirmed to be compatible with PSVR2, due to the change in control schemes.
My guess is BC will be on a per game basis and completely up to the individual developers. I wouldn't bank on it (I had been, prior to seeing how different the controllers were/will be).
A free upgrade to PSVR2 would be easy. The title will already be available for PCVR using technology comparable to PSVR2, so this could happen if Sony and the developper want!
I’m looking forward to this. I think a VR MMO might actually be good and not stuck in the 2000’s. I also can’t wait for how toxic it will be everyone having a microphone in addition to how much communication that will add.
@MFTWrecks I'd bank on this coming to PSVR2. It's an MMO that wants a long life span. They'd be stupid to not put it on PSVR2. PSVR2 could be out before the end of the year. He also wasn't talking about backwards compatibility, but a new version entirely.
I’ve watched enough Sword Art Online to know this is a bad idea!
