Superbright has released a free update for In Death: Unchained that adds support for the newly released Oculus Quest 2. In Death: Unchained is the highest rated archery title for Oculus Quest and the new update arrives for free for every owner of the game. Apart from support for the new VR headset, the new update also brings tons of new features and updates to the game as well.
Starting with the detailed visuals, the new update further enhances the visual prowess of the title by improving the graphics of the game even more than before. The game will have new atmospheric effects, and everything is now sharper and smoother than before. Apart from the current visual overhaul, the developer also states that players can look forward to more visual upgrades, some of which will also be available for the original Oculus Quest VR headset. Free DLC is also planned for the title, arriving somewhere in the middle of November 2020.
Wojtek Podgórski, Superbright’s CEO said:
We wanted the update to really show off what the new headset can do, and this is arguably the biggest Quest 2 update among existing games.
The team’s been hard at work on visual upgrades that leverage Quest 2’s beefier and more modern hardware. We’ve been working on this since the game came out, it took major effort but we can now display the game’s whole world at once, with beautiful new atmospheric effects, while making everything even sharper and smoother. The game just looks and feels even better on Quest 2.
