Broken Edge looks to be the pastel-coloured, first-person, online multiplayer swordfighting game you've been waiting for. Releasing last year for PC virtual reality platforms, this is a well-liked title that's heading to PSVR2 on 19th September 2023, where it'll take advantage of the headset and controller's fancy features.
The game has you playing as various sword-swinging characters, each one adopting a different martial art. Using their different techniques, you face online opponents one-on-one. It's a simple setup but it looks like it's pulled off well.
Broken Edge has been optimised for PSVR2, meaning it makes full use of its tech. Adaptive triggers come into play when you grasp your blade, haptic feedback reflects your hits and whiffs, and eye-tracking lets you focus on the important action. This version of the game introduces the Ronin as a new character, too.

I reviewed the Quest version last year and I'm very excited to try it out again with the PSVR 2 improvements. Love the finesse involved with gameplay
Love to see some PSVR 2 coverage. I will definitely check this out.
Looks awesome. If it plays as good as the dojo of the first vader immortal, then I would be interested. Though, I could imagine that it feels a bit lite on content.
The name Broken Sword was taken, I assume
It looks cool, but I wondered how they can deal with jank. I fence in real life, so I could be extra interested in this, but I will also compare it to the real thing lol.
Love the style. Though I'm usually iffy on multiplayer PSVR2 games. Not because they're bad but because unless tehy're firewall, their online activity could dwindle at any time to the point of having the possibility of a server shut down, due to how niche the PSVR still is in the gaming market. A shame cause there are some pretty good multiplayer psvr games. Sadly, not many of them managed to mainting a healthy playerbase.
