Are you brave enough to help us “betatest” the latest update for the Dead Effect 2 VR?
Although there are still some minor issues going on, we have decided to give you a chance to take a look at some new stuff and especially at the multiplayer.
Yes, you can now play the campaign with your friends… or kill them in any imaginable way in the PvP multiplayer.
And there are also some new story levels, increased level cap, bugfixes, minor improvements…
If you want to wait, all this (plus other bugfixes and improvements) should be available next weekend in a regular update.
If you can't wait – just join the beta right now! To join the beta – select DE2 VR in Steam, right click to open properties and select Beta tabs. You should see a public beta there.
Please note that PvP is in very experimental stage and it will need a lot a balancing and improvements, but we've decided to give you access to it anyway. (And yes… we need more people to play it with us, we don't have enough headsets for 8 players anyway)
We are desperate to hear your screams, cries of bliss, even the cursing it´s fine… (since it's beta, we're sure to hear some)
We will be grateful for any bug reports and impressions. Let us know, we are listening…
(Notice: there's no voice chat right now, but it will be added soon.)
