WORCESTER, Mass. – Sept. 25, 2024 – Petricore, celebrating a decade of XR and game development innovation, has revealed details for its upcoming mixed-reality roguelite fantasy role-playing game (RPG), Mythic Realms, set to launch on Meta Quest later this year and available to pre-order now. At today’s XR Indies & Friends Games Showcase, Petricore revealed new gameplay showing how Mythic Realms transforms your physical space into a fantastical adventure where reality blends seamlessly with immersive forests and caves teeming with incredible creatures that can climb on your furniture and emerge from your walls! Embark on a quest through a fallen land, battling enemies from beyond our world, all brought to life through the power of the Meta Quest headset.
In Mythic Realms, you’ll step into the boots of a hero like never before, as you physically play out an RPG adventure, journeying into new encounters, battling mighty foes, gathering resources, and improving your character with each play session. Each expedition is unique, allowing players to choose how they engage with the adventure around them. It’ll take every bit of savvy, skill and energy to uncover the mystery between the collision of two worlds and help the kingdom flourish to its full potential.
“With Mythic Realms, we’ve built an experience that truly embraces the power of mixed reality. It’s more than just a game - it transforms the room you’re in, making every piece of furniture a part of your adventure. Enemies can climb on your couch, and you’re able to physically dodge attacks as if you were in the middle of the action. This is something only possible with mixed reality, and we’re thrilled for players to experience it firsthand,” said Ryan Canuel, CEO of Petricore.
