During the E3 UploadVR Showcase yesterday, Australian developer Alta announced that their VR game A Township Tale is heading to Oculus Quest 1 and 2. The game, described as a "open world, multiplayer VR RPG", was previously available for PC VR headsets and is now making the untethered jump to Oculus Quest platforms.

​

A Township Tale is a dream-come-true for fans of RPGs and survival games, set in a medieval fantasy world where players band together with up to eight friends on a virtual server to take on professions and craft equipment while they explore the dangerous world before them, all in the immersive way that only VR can provide.

A Township Tale allows players to become master professionals in their new town by taking up the mantle of blacksmiths, woodcutters, miners, archers and warriors. Players can explore dangerous areas and recover crafting materials to improve their gear. With specialized weapons, levelling abilities and play-styles, unique parties are formed to delve into the deepest reaches of dark caverns.

Some of A Township Tale's key features are as follows:
● Physical Crafting Professions - Adopt roles and operate physical tools and stations, maximizing the spatial range of VR controls.
● Levelling - Level up in specialized professions to unlock abilities in crafting and combat.
● Online Multiplayer - Join each other on the adventure and level up different skills to form a unique party.
● Personal Server - Oculus Quest players can start their own cloud-hosted server with an eight concurrent player limit. (NOTE: PC and Quest will not yet feature cross-play at launch.)

A Township Tale launches on the Oculus Store this July 15 for $9.99 and will be compatible with both Oculus Quest 1 and 2. Owners of the game will receive their own server along with 1,000 Talems (in-game currency) that they can use to purchase additional cosmetic items for their characters.

Good to see VR getting games that are not shallow experiences, bad to see that system exclusives is indeed a thing even in VR (not that I had any hope that it would be any different).

Where did I miss the exclusivity part It said available on other pc headsets and is now coming to oculus. Do you mean that it's not on the Playstation vr?

yes, too bad it's not on PSVR, but there are other VR MMO for people with only PSVR, like Zenith the last city, or Ilysia.
