Tactical, Squad-Based Military PS VR Shooter Firewall: Zero Hour Launches August 28

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced the release date for Firewall: Zero Hour.

The tactical, squad-based virtual-reality shooter will launch for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR on August 28th.


Here’s a new batch of details for the game, as well as a new gameplay trailre, via the PlayStation Blog:


For those not up-to-speed, Firewall: Zero Hour is our four-versus-four team-based tactical PlayStation VR shooter where players must use teamwork, strategy and an arsenal of equipment to either acquire or protect a cache of sensitive data.

New Gameplay

In honor of the release date reveal, we also have a new Firewall: Zero Hour gameplay trailer. You’ll see what it’s like to assume the role of a mercenary Contractor and work with your team to attack or defend the sensitive data housed in laptops. You’ll hear communication between teammates, and understand how teamwork is key to your survival. You’ll see some of the equipment you’ll use, from assault rifles and shotguns, to deadly C4 and grenades. You’ll get a taste of the exotic locations you’ll be working in–with nine map locations in Russia, the UK, and the Middle East.

You’ll feel the tension of tactical combat and experience the unpredictability that comes from playing in a team of four humans vs. four humans in PlayStation VR. Firewall Zero Hour also offers Training modes where you can train alone or with others against AI.

Earn XP and in-game currency (“Crypto”) as you progress with your Contractor. Firewall Zero Hour is built from the ground up for PlayStation VR, and is compatible with both the PS Aim controller and DualShock 4 controller. An internet connection is required for all modes of Firewall Zero Hour, including Single Player Training Mode. PS Plus is only required for Multiplayer Training and Multiplayer Contract modes.
