SKonec :

Seoul, South Korea, 24th October 2024 - Skonec Entertainment is excited to announce a Full System Overhaul for the popular hero shooter Strike Rush. Known as Season 2: Unknown Villain, new gameplay modes, Blitzers, Blitzmon, maps and a full UI overhaul have arrived today as part of the total restructuring of the popular VR PvP game!
 

Debuting on Meta Quest headsets in April 2024, Strike Rush has seen several updates since launch, including the popular SHINING VESSEL update launched in Summer 2024. Now, thanks to player feedback, a Full System Overhaul has been designed to bring more action-packed experiences to fans both old and new!
 

New Gameplay Modes

The addition of a Team Deathmatch mode offers a more aggressive, combat-focused playstyle, providing a different thrill from capture modes. Players can enter a matchmaking queue while enjoying the recently added Quick Battle mode, and once team matching is complete you’ll automatically enter the Team Deathmatch.
 

In addition, a new Quest system will introduce daily and weekly quests to earn rewards. Quests can be as simple as winning a Quick Battle match or Team Deathmatch, but for greater rewards you can expect a greater challenge!
 

New Characters

Two mysterious new characters, Cain and Benny, will make their Strike Rush debuts, each bringing unique skills and strategies. The cold-blooded assassin Cain overwhelms enemies with unpredictable tactics and powerful crowd control skills. Meanwhile, new Blitzmon, Benny, is a new 'Goblin-type'. This Blitzmon may look cute, but underestimating him could come with irreversible consequences!
 

New Weapons

A new weapon will be added alongside the new playable characters: the rocket launcher 'Griffin'. This high-impact weapon delivers explosive AoE damage, highly effective against multiple enemies. Players can obtain the Griffin during matches at specific locations in each arena. But be warned, the spawns are limited, so you’ll have to be fast! 
 

New Map

Following this summer’s SHINING VESSEL map addition, B-13 Laboratory is a new multiplayer level featuring a multi-layered structure. This new map presents new tactical opportunities in all gameplay modes. A large open area on the ground floor will see mass fighting breakout; can you pin the enemy here while taking the advantage and heading to the top floor for objective capture?
 

With the launch of the Full System Overhaul, the Team Deathmatch and Quick Battle modes will also gain access to every map in Strike Rush, including this new addition!
 

UI Overhaul

With a game as slick as Strike Rush, the systems should always match the action! As such, Skonec is delivering a complete overhaul of the menus and UI to create a more immersive experience for all players from the very first moment you enter the game!
 

Strike Rush - Season 2: Unknown Villain Update Key Features:
 

  • New Blitzer: The cold-blooded assassin 'Cain' will be added to the playable roster.

  • New Blitzmon: 'Benny,' a new 'Goblin-type' Blitzmon, can accompany players in the arena.

  • New Stage: 'B-13 Laboratory' is a new multiplayer level featuring a multi-layered structure.

  • New Weapon: The rocket launcher 'Griffin' delivers explosive AoE damage.

  • New Game Mode: 'Team Deathmatch' offers a faster, more aggressive playstyle.

  • Advanced Team Matching: Queue for 'Team Matching' while enjoying 'Quick Battle.' Once matching is complete, you’ll automatically enter the team match mode.

  • Deathmatch Stage Expansion: Both 'Team Deathmatch' and 'Quick Battle' will be available on all five original stages, as well as the newly added stage.

  • Quest System: Complete daily or weekly quests to earn richer rewards.

  • New UI: The main menu UI has been revamped for a more beautiful and convenient user experience.
     

Season 2: Unknown Villain is a FREE update available now for all Strike Rush players. Strike Rush is a 4v4, team-based co-op shooter available now for Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest Pro. Choose from one of six unique Blitzer characters, each with special abilities and accompanying Blitzmon AI companions.
