Embrace the Chaos in ‘FRENZIES,’ A Stylish New Multiplayer VR Shooter from nDreams Coming to Meta Quest

Hopefully you’re ready for something truly chaotic, because this new multiplayer VR shooter is dripping with equal parts pandemonium and fun. FRENZIESis the latest project from developer Near Light and publisher nDreams and it marries the immersive, satisfying gunplay nDreams is known for with pulse-pounding multiplayer mayhem.

If you’re as excited as we are after watching that trailer, we’ve got some great news for you. Meta Quest players will have the chance to step into the FRENZIES arena before anyone else. Later this month, nDreams is cracking open the doors with a Closed Alpha period starting for Meta Quest players to try the game out, give feedback, and help guide its ongoing development. Register your interest in joining the upcoming Closed Alpha over on the game’s official Discord here.

Matches in FRENZIES are split into five rounds each and the game features both solo and team-based round types. The focus is on fun and figuring out absolutely bonkers formats to keep players on their toes at all times—no two games are the same. You can get a taste for just how wild things get in the reveal trailer up above.

“The last thing you can accuse FRENZIES of is being boring,” said Paul Mottram, Head of Studio, Near Light. “Taking inspiration from classics like Quake and Unreal Tournament, we wanted to inject some unpredictable excitement back into the genre while retaining what makes VR shooters so special. We think FRENZIES nails that sweet spot."
