Welcome to another weekly look at the virtual reality (VR) videogames set to debut across multiple headsets in the coming week. There are some big titles to round out August with Schell Games’ popular escape room franchise returning and Cyan Worlds’ iconic ’90s puzzler hitting PC VR headsets.
I Expect You To Die 2 – Schell Games
Get ready to immerse yourself back into the world of espionage and death-defying escapes as Schell Games is set to launch its long-awaited I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and The Liar. It carries on directly from where the original left off, putting you back in the shoes of a daring secret agent trying to stop Dr. Zor and the Zoraxis organisation from taking over the world. The adventure will take place over six missions, from theatrical venues to the classic private jet.
