A Surprise Launch: Vampire Survivors VR Arrives Immediately

The biggest surprise came right out of the gate: Vampire Survivors but it’s in virtual reality launched during the show and is available now on Meta Quest. The iconic roguelite phenomenon has officially made the jump into VR, giving players the chance to step directly into its chaotic bullet-hell gameplay. With its minimalist mechanics and over-the-top power scaling, the VR adaptation aims to let players “be the bullet hell… on your face,” bringing a new level of immersion to one of indie gaming’s most recognizable hits.

Franchise Power: Orcs Must Die and TMNT Step Into VR

Another standout reveal was Orcs Must Die: By The Blade, arriving in January 2026. Teravision Games is reimagining the beloved trap-slaughter franchise entirely for VR. Expect up-close melee combat, trap placement, and hordes of loud, smelly orcs barreling toward you in fully immersive fashion. For long-time fans, this new story set on Stormwreck Island promises a fresh but faithful return to the series’ signature chaos.

Fans of iconic franchises weren’t left out elsewhere either. A fresh look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City highlighted exploration of the Turtles’ lair and the ongoing fight to reclaim New York from the Foot Clan. The title marks the first VR game for the legendary heroes, adding a new dimension of action to the universe.

New IP Steal the Show

The VR Games Showcase also introduced original worlds from veteran developers. CharacterBank unveiled Knights of Fiona, an adventure that transports players to the vibrant realm of Gallia. This co-op action RPG allows up to three players to battle an ancient evil alongside the courageous Fiona and her sworn knights.

Meanwhile, Spectral Games revealed The Lightkeepers, a co-op survival title where day brings exploration and night demands absolute vigilance against nightmare creatures. Both games highlight the growing ambition and narrative depth emerging in VR-exclusive storytelling.

Immediate Releases and Deep Dives Across Genres

Beyond the reveals, viewers enjoyed several deep dives and surprise “available now” moments.

Classic genres found new life as well. Wrath: Aeon of Ruin VR, powered by the legendary Quake engine, is slated for 2026 and promises old-school brutality with modern VR combat. Family-friendly titles like Penguin Festival and cutesy co-op horror such as Deadly Delivery expanded the showcase’s genre diversity even further.
