STOCKHOLM, Sweden — February 8, 2022 — Today, Beyond Frames Entertainment announced it is bringing magic mayhem to Meta Quest 2 with their newest VR game Wands® Alliances from its studio Cortopia. Wands Alliances will take the original high paced magic and wand wielding franchise to the next level with team-based 3v3 gameplay, set in an alternate Victorian era London.
”We wanted to challenge ourselves to find a room scale gameplay mechanic in a PvP game, whereas most other titles in the genre deliver a more stationary play style. We found the Wands universe to be the right path and we have worked really hard to bring 3v3 magical battles to VR in a completely new package. We’re finally getting ready to launch Wands Alliances in 2022, almost 6 years after Wands in 2016 and I cannot wait to start playing it with the wider VR community," said Ricky Helgesson, co-founder of Beyond Frames and Head of Design at Cortopia.
Players will need to strategically plan their loadouts and tactically utilize their play space and covers to achieve victory against their opponents.
