Heads up Extractors! We’re excited to announce that the first content expansion for ROM: Extraction is now live! Overrun is a whole new level for players to master, featuring several crazy new twists on VR gameplay. After narrowly escaping the attack on the chamber, your journey to the escape pods continues through the depths of the extraction vessel. The ship has been overrun! Systems are malfunctioning, and now you must face new enemies on the lower levels of the ship and escape to the planet surface with your life. New Features:

Experience increased intensity in this continuation of the ROM story
Battle against enemies in dynamic, interactive locations
Enemies exhibit new, highly dangerous behaviors
Use the environment to your advantage--be on the lookout for destructibles
New leaderboards for each game mode
Featuring the track “Kill Room” by drum & bass duo Delta Heavy
And of course...the EOS-15!

A brand new two-handed plasma rifle with orb-launching capabilities
Grab the EOS-15 when you shoot the floating gun power-up token
Use the EOS-15 to “Launch, Slow, Shoot”--a new twist on the core game mechanic that gives you an orb-launching, auto-firing weapon of destruction
When “jumpers” are in close proximity, use your pistol or EOS-15 to pop off their heads!
Full Patch Notes:

New level - Overrun
Audio volume adjustment
New music - “Kill Room” by Delta Heavy
Updated animation sets
New Hit reaction animations
New Fire stance animations
EOS-15 two-handed rifle via power up token
Robot head decapitation of jumpers
Jumping suicide-robot AI type (beware!)
Updated front end environment
New leaderboard for Overrun level
Widescreen output for better recording/streaming (when social screen is disabled)
Improvements in framerate optimization—in ROM’s graphical settings, users can opt for MSAA instead of TAA (Temporal AA), increasing GPU frame time by 25%. MSAA bringing additional crispness to the rendering.
