This could lead to something incredibly cool.
When Apple debuted the Vision Pro headset at its WWDC 2023 event in June, it highlighted the unit’s potential for gaming. While the Vision Pro won’t be available until 2024, it’s unknown as to exactly what games to expect for it.
Still, game studio Resolution has announced that it has plans to bring the popular role-playing game “Demeo” to Apple’s mixed reality headset.
Demo function as “a cross-platform cooperative adventure for up to four players that recreates all of the magic and camaraderie of gathering around a tabletop with friends to battle against the forces of evil.” Players can take on the role of one of four heroes, each with different abilities.
The game also mixes augmented reality with virtual reality, allowing players to feel as if they’re more immersed in the game.
Demeo was originally released for Oculus Quest in 2021 and then ported to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR 2 earlier this year. It may also become available for the Vision Pro upon its release, and Resolution Games has confirmed that a version of Demeo for visionOS is in “active development” with “controller-free play.”
There are also plans to release a “flat” version for the Mac in the future, but other details remain unclear at this point.
Users planning to work on apps or games for visionOS can apply to receive an Apple Vision Pro Developer Kit via the Apple Developer website.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
