Ready for Action: VR Extraction Shooter ‘Ghosts of Tabor’ Graduates to the Meta Quest Store on February 8
Following nearly a year of basic training on App Lab, Beyond Frames Entertainment and Combat Waffle Studios have set their sights on the Meta Quest Store for their critically acclaimed VR extraction shooter Ghosts of Tabor. The game will graduate from App Lab on February 8 on Meta Quest, and continues to be available in Early Access on Steam. Releases on PlayStation VR2 and Pico will follow later this year.
With over 500,000 unique players and $10M USD in revenue across platforms to date, Ghosts of Tabor is off to an undeniably strong start. And it all started with some US military veterans and a dream.
“We started Combat Waffle with nine people, new to the VR development scene, and with a dream: to bring our love of extraction shooters to VR,” says Combat Waffle Studios Founder & CEO Scott Albright. “It’s hard to believe that only 22 months after launching our studio, we’ve amassed such a massive and dedicated community. In the last month alone, we saw more than 120,000 players on active duty. It just goes to show that if you want to play something that doesn’t exist yet, chances are that other people do too—so you should go out and make it yourself!”
“Combat Waffle has truly delivered something exciting to the VR community and proven that concepts from PC and console games can be translated over to immersive platforms with care and dedication,” adds Beyond Frames Entertainment Head of Publishing Maeva Sponbergs. “The appreciation of the depth of gameplay and continuous player engagement in Ghosts of Tabor is a true testament to the maturity and growth potential of audiences in VR. Today’s announcement is a huge milestone for the team—but as with any graduation, this is just the start of a much bigger journey. Ghosts of Tabor remains in active development and will continue to grow, refine, and adapt to players in a live service environment. There’s plenty more excitement to come!”
Combining PvP and PvE, Ghosts of Tabor features realistic weaponry, with armaments modeled after their physical-world counterparts that require reloading and firing techniques that mirror how each weapon is handled authentically.
Ghosts of Tabor supports squads of up to three players in co-op multiplayer and can be purchased for $19.99 USD through January 31. Pre-orders for the graduated version will be available on the Meta Quest Store for $24.99 USD shortly after. Everyone who purchases the game on App Lab by January 31 will automatically own Ghosts of Tabor on the Meta Quest Store when it officially launches February 8.
