Gateshead, United Kingdom - December 6th, 2023 - Thunderful and Coatsink are pleased to unveil Sigtrap’s new VR lightgun cover shooter, Under Cover, which is launching on Meta Quest on February 15th. The game was announced at today’s Upload VR showcase. Inspired by Time Crisis, Under Cover is a return to the golden age of lightgun games that takes the same thrilling arcade action those games delivered and uses the power of VR to surround you with enemies in a way that the arcade cabinets that paved the way for Under Cover never could.

Featuring a full 5-6 hour campaign that you can tackle solo or in buddy-cop co-op mode with an online friend or AI, Under Cover’s retro score system rewards aim, speed and chained kills. That’s not to mention the game’s groundbreaking Active Cover System where you duck to reload, something which has most definitely not been done before anywhere else…   You can choose to play as Red-Eye or Magnum - two undercover agents too badass to stay undercover - in Under Cover’s colourful and humourous campaign. You’re  on a quest to infiltrate an evil organisation called Infidyne who are up to no good with the V-Chips they’ve implanted in people’s brains   Thunderful
