The wait is over: Asgard’s Wrath 2 has arrived!!!1!!1!one!! See below for all the news you need to know before stepping inside VR’s most epic adventure RPG. ⚔️

Before downloading Asgard’s Wrath 2, we recommend you update to v60 by going to Settings > Systems > Software Update in order to start your adventure as quickly as possible.

Originally published December 14, 2023:

It’s been just over four years since Asgard’s Wrath launched on the Rift Platform. With an impressive 9.4 rating on IGN, it was a landmark title for VR—helping to usher in a new era of ambition and audacity among game developers. Fast-forward to June of this year when we revealed the impending launch of the sequel. And now, the wait is (almost) over: Asgard’s Wrath 2—which received a rare 10/10 from IGN—launches tomorrow at 7:00 am PT on Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro!

The game’s narrative campaign is 60+ hours (100+ hours for completionists), while its asynchronously social dungeon-crawling mode ratchets up the replayability. Add in dedicated live ops, and you’ve got a recipe for what’s arguably the most expansive VR game to date.

For those who haven’t been following along at home (or folks just looking to kill some time before 7:00 am PT tomorrow), here’s some light reading to get you up to speed on all things Asgard’s Wrath 2:

Still have questions or need a TL;DR? We’ve got you covered!

Epic RPG, huh? What’s the elevator pitch?

Travel across vast realms inhabited by the gods in pursuit of the Trickster God Loki, who threatens to undo the threads of the universe. It’s up to you to battle gods and monsters alike as you take on one of the biggest and most epic-scale action RPGs ever experienced in VR. Alongside legendary Egyptian gods, you’ll fight deadly warriors and awe-inspiring mythical creatures through physics-based, visceral combat with unique weapons and playstyles. Possess unique mortal heroes and convert loyal animals into your own warrior followers as you explore a massive, free-roaming and living world and solve mind-bending god-scale puzzles.

The sequel to one of the most critically-acclaimed VR games ever, Asgard’s Wrath 2 is the massive VR adventure you’ve been waiting for.

Color me intrigued. What about the voice actors?

Funny you should ask! We recently revealed the cast list, which includes the likes of Tessa Thompson, Forest Whitaker, Jacob Anderson, Sonequa Martin-Green, Matthew Mercer, Darin De Paul, and many more.

What if I haven’t played the original?

Asgard’s Wrath 2 is a fully fledged game in its own right, so you can definitely jump in even if you slept on the first Asgard’s Wrath. And if you pre-ordered the game, you get a free digital copy of the original Asgard’s Wrath for PC VR, which you can play with a VR-ready PC either on the Rift Platform or wirelessly on your Meta Quest headset via Air Link.
