Greensky Games - the award-winning studio behind Swarm 1 and Swarm 2 has announced "Anomaly", a high-stakes PvPvE extraction shooter that combines the intense combat of "Escape from Tarkov" with the thrill of PvE in "Hunt: Showdown," is coming to Meta Quest in December 2024.


Greensky Games’ Anomaly offers a fresh take on the extraction shooter genre, blending immersive exploration, high-stakes decision-making, and dynamic combat. With deep customization, you can craft weapons, personalize loadouts, and select perks, making sure you’re deadly no matter how you choose to play.


Set in 2050, Anomaly puts players in the role of new recruits for the Conway Group, a covert organization financing risky expeditions into the Exclusion Zone. This desolate, quarantined city is split across three distinct levels with rival squads, lurking monsters, and the ultimate prize: a rare Artifact. Once it's in your hands, brace yourself—everyone else will be coming for you.


Players can engage in high-stakes missions solo or with a squad, of two or three, where success means keeping valuable loot and gear, but failure results in losing everything. Explore the exclusion zone with VR-exclusive mechanics like gravity grenades, ziplines, and more. The shifting environment and diverse contracts guarantee fresh encounters and high-stakes combat, making each run a thrilling, one-of-a-kind adventure.


“With Anomaly, we’re taking the essence of extraction shooters like Tarkov and Hunt Showdown and amplifying it," said Peter Le Bek, Founder of Greensky. "It’s not just about the action—it’s about the atmosphere, and the thrill of escaping, the fear of loss. This is an extraction shooter built for VR where every match has its own pulse, making you feel each breath, each step, and each decision with a level of intensity that traditional games can't match."


Anomaly will land on the Meta Quest Store in Early December, and is currently in Closed Beta - to sign up for playtesting go to www.anomaly-vr.com.
