Publisher nDreams and developer Near Light have announced FRENZIES, a new virtual reality multiplayer shooter coming to multiple platforms.

FRENZIES is in development for PlayStation VR2 and Quest virtual reality headsets. A release date wasn’t confirmed but a closed alpha test will kick off on July 18th – users can sign up on the official Discord channel.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Frenzies to PlayStation VR2,” said nDreams Studio head Paul Mottram. “As you can see from the debut gameplay trailer above, Frenzies fuses nDreams’ award-winning gunplay with the mayhem of multiplayer, throwing you into neon-soaked arenas for a winner-takes-all showdown with a twist.”

“Each five-round match in Frenzies is a chaotic lucky dip of randomized round types, maps, and teams that ensure no two matches are ever the same. Fun to play yet challenging to master, we think Frenzies will leave you smiling from ear-to-ear every time you step into the arena. We look forward to showing you more soon!”

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

FRENZIES is the chaotic PvP shooter for the ultimate show-off, combining nDreams’ precision gunplay with a lucky dip of frantic round types. Make friendships and ruin them amid a hail of neon-soaked gunfire in a winner-takes-all arena showdown.

A new FPS from the VR pros at nDreams & Near Light, FRENZIES fuses the award-winning action of Fracked & Synapse with the mayhem of multiplayer PvP. Embrace your worst self.
