Fighting Game ‘Final Fury’ Releases Today in Early Access on Meta Quest

The galaxy’s best fighters have assembled to find out who’s best—and you’ve scored an invite. From the creators of Synth Riders comes Final Fury.

It’s possible you already tested out Final Fury during its alpha earlier this year. If so, all you need to know is: It’s out now in Early Access on the Meta Horizon Store with more fighters entering the ring.

If you haven’t stepped into the arena yet, Final Fury is a made-for-VR fighting game. Think The Thrill of the Fight 2, but by way of arcade classics like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II. You trade punches with opponents in first-person—but this is no mere boxing simulator.

You’re squaring off against some of the galaxy’s hardest-hitting fighters. There’s a guitar-strumming cyclops, a bomb-dropping robot, a sword-wielding demon, and more. Final Fury launches into Early Access today with six characters, each with unique strengths, fighting styles, and special moves.

Unlike a traditional fighting game, you can’t just sit back and tap buttons to churn out combos. In Final Fury you’ll have to physically pull off these characters’ moves to use them. For instance, unleash Tempest’s Arctic Blast by bringing your hands down towards your waist, forming a ball of ice between them, and then flinging it forward at your opponent. (Yes, just like a certain fireball-wielding martial artist you might know.)

Final Fury includes an Arcade Mode where you can face off against the AI. You can also prove your skills against fighters from around the world—and yes, like any great modern fighting game, Final Fury includes rollback netcode to make the experience as much like going head-to-head in an arcade (or on the main stage at Evo) as possible. Kluge Interactive even got fighting game legend Justin Wong involved in development to make Final Fury feel as tight and competitive as possible.

Between the development team’s work and Justin Wong’s advice, they’ve tightened up gameplay like the dashes, grabs, and character pacing—getting Final Fury to this point. Of course, this is only the Early Access release, so there’s a lot more Final Fury to come in the future.

Get in early and start honing your skills. Final Fury is available now on the Meta Horizon Store for $9.99 USD.
