Unless you own a PSVR headset and have a passion for Marvel, the pickings are slim this week with no more than ten titles due. We’re reluctant chalk this up as a typical summer game drought though – it’s business as usual next week, with several big-name games planned.
The PS Blog took a deeper look at Marvel’s Iron Man VR. Curiously, the developers aimed for a 4-5 hour runtime but found players averaged roughly double that. The supporting cast includes Pepper Potts, Nick Fury and FRIDAY, along with secret characters. Spidey, perhaps?
The Otterman Empire – out on PC, Xbox One and Switch – is another new release of note. It’s a split-screen multiplayer arena battler featuring bipedal otters on jetpacks, spread across 8 planets. Expect plenty of otter puns.
The rest of this week’s releases are mostly belated conversions, including the pixel art run ‘n gunner Clash Force – inspired by Saturday morning cartoons – and the Xbox One RPG Alphadia Genesis, which can be traced back to 2014. There’s the self-explanatory Demolish & Build too, which likewise was first released on PC a few years ago.
A handful of Switch games also head to retailers, including The Wonderful 101 Remastered and the mini-game collection 30 In 1 Game Collection Vol 1.
