The Binary Mill :

Gold Coast, Australia – August 29, 2024 – The Binary Mill, developers of previous VR hits Resist, RUSH, Mini Motor Racing X and Gun Club VR, are thrilled to announce that pre-orders for their highly anticipated new game Into Black will open on August 29th. Designed exclusively for Meta Quest and optimized for the cutting-edge capabilities of the Quest 3, Into Black delivers an unmatched VR experience filled with action, exploration, and adventure.


Into Black is a first-person action-adventure game that has players explore a mysterious alien planet beyond the bounds of known space. Accompanied by a hapless robot companion, players will delve deep into the planet's dark secrets, mine valuable resources, and fend off alien creatures while working to repair their damaged ship and escape.  The game features a rich sci-fi story, a fully voice-acted campaign, solo or co-op gameplay, and a full PvPvE multiplayer mode.


"We've put a lot of work into exploring what's possible on the quest 3 and are excited to show players what we've been working on for the last few years." said Jackson Hall, Director of Into Black. "Our goal was to make something we'd love to play with immersive environments, VR focused gameplay, a captivating story, and interesting game mechanics."

 

 Key Features of Into Black Include:

  • Single or Co-op Action: Play through the entire campaign solo or team up with up to three friends for a cooperative experience.

  • Fully Voice-Acted Campaign: Follow the story of deep space scavenger Ben Mitchell and his hapless assistant droid as they uncover a universe-spanning mystery.

  • Explore 20+ Levels Across Diverse Biomes: From magma chambers to alien nests, navigate through a variety of unique environments, each with its own challenges.

  • Resource Gathering and Tool Upgrades: Mine, scavenge, loot, and fish to gather essential resources, upgrade your character, and repair your ship.

  • Thrilling Combat: Master powerful weapons as you fend off hordes of deadly alien beasts lurking in the darkness.

  • "Singularity" PvPvE Mode: Compete against up to 11 other players in this online mode. Navigate a shrinking maze and collect as many resources as possible without falling victim to your greed. Inside the maze alliances can shift quickly, and only the most strategic will survive.

Pre-orders for Into Black begin on August 29th for Meta Quest 2 & 3, with the full release scheduled for October 2024. The game will retail at $24.99, with a 20% discount on pre-orders prior to launch.
